| Story | Blake Griffin is about to make headlines, again. So is the next generation 2016 Kia Optima. With its refined handling and impressive styling, the Optima will take you where no midsize sedan ever has. |
| Philosophy | We see what happens when average people end up “in the zone” for the first time after experiencing the next-level performance of the 2016 Kia Optima. They’re in unfamiliar territory, literally. Luckily for them, Blake is there to help them along, as he is no stranger to being in the zone. His ability to perform at a higher level is an everyday, or at least every-game, occurrence. The rest of us mere mortals aren’t as lucky. |
