Thoughts on the new 2014 Kia Optima design?

The Optima is good looking, but I have yet to see a Kia that is 5 years or older that still looks good. The paint wears, rubber trim falls off, and they just in general look like crap.

I hope this new Optima stands the test of time.

I like the Genesis sedan. I'm just waiting for the redesign. Either get that if I like it or get a good deal on a left over Genesis R

I wonder if the car is bad, or is it the lack of maintenance by the owners? Let's face it, Kia owners are usually lower income, which means they probably aren't out there putting three coats of carnauba on the paint, or spending extra money for synthetic oil changes.
