The Kia Optima's successful social climbing pits it directly against some of the best-selling cars in America.
Kudos on that, and on outdoing the current Honda Accord, which still has some of the driving feel of Hondas of old, even though it's very large and in retrospect, awkwardly clothed.
The latest Mazda6 hasn't been a sales hit, but its slightly offbeat styling is appealing, and so is its crisp steering and roomy back seat.
Both the Ford Fusion and Nissan Altima match distinctive styling with good gas mileage and more responsive handling than most large family sedans.
But of all the cars it competes with, the Optima's sibling rival, the Hyundai Sonata, is most like it--though over time we've come to prefer the Optima's sparer styling and its slightly better driving dynamics.
