2011 Kia Optima to be Offered with 2.0-liter Gasoline and 1.7-liter Turbo Diesel in Europe: During last week’s press days of the 2010 New York International Auto Show, Kia took the veils off the all-new 2011 Optima mid-size sedan that will carry the same name in all markets outside Korea.

And yes, we couldn’t help but compare the Korean sedan’s styling to the new BMW 5-Series that was introduced on Monday.
