@ThelynXAZ: Yeah, now if only they can get it to sell as well as the C30! Oh, wait...

@bosrs1: Actually, I work in durability testing for the company and have logged a ton of miles in both. They're both great cars, but just don't feel as over engineered as my previous-gen Optima. I'm not saying they're not great cars, I just wish I could take the new powertrain and styling, but keep all the other…

@Slid Pissed Tossed Mazda3hatch sideways into a effin DITCH: Right back at ya on the heartclick, although I only wish I could call my '07 Optima's ride "sporty".

@Godzilla ain't no damn car!: I don't know about the knew ones, but they've certainly seen the previous generation Optima. Judging by the Passat's styling, VW really liked the old Optima, too.

@Slid Pissed Tossed Mazda3hatch sideways into a effin DITCH: Surprisingly, Hyundai/Kia, typically the "bang for your buck" automakers in the segment have seen the same loss of content. Between generations, the Sonata and Optima have both lost trunk lift struts, cupholder "rubbers" (as well as grippy fingers),…

Damn, that's a good looking bike, too! I have to agree with Rattleface and say thanks for the post, Wes. We miss you around here.

@JimmyBanks: lol good point!

Shouldn't this article use this icon?

@Rufus760: Are you still in Berlin? I dig the stripes, and are those Alpina wheels?

@Gandalf the Wise went ahead and: That thing's sweet.

@keithwedwards: For some reason I've always really liked those. I think they've aged better than almost any other American car from that era.

It was the 1995 Saab 900S I bought just after high school. I owned that car for three years, and put almost 200k miles on it. It was the most comfortable (and oddly, the best smelling) car I've ever driven. Things broke sometimes, but I would always manage to replace them with something better. Girlfriend's dad…

Think of how this commercial would have worked today; at about 0:16, he would have just texted her "LOL im outside ur train <3"

@ssurfer321: In this case, I believe it would be measured in Hz.

@casen: In addition to the other things mentioned, using magnetic headings as runway numbers can save lives by making sure planes don't take off from the wrong runway in low visibility conditions.

A little Lemon Pledge would make this a lot more exciting to watch. Maybe just one step, and keep changing which step is Pledge-black-ice-slippery, so the kitties don't memorize it.

Just when Hyundai and Kia are finally working out some consistent and unique design languages, Hyundai has to go and show a car with Kia's new trademark character line. Come on, guys!

@maintmgt: Go west, young man. We still have plenty of 'em out here.

@Baby Benz is a good DD: Sexy Beast was good stuff.

@Smoshmonker: DAGЯON.
