Edmunds Inside Line reports Hyundai's Kia division will show its next-generation Optima sedan — a doppleganger of Kia's Euro-model Magentis, and platform mate of the Hyundai Sonata — in Frankfurt. While the Hyundai will don more luxurious garb (stop snickering), its Kia cousin will be more plain-Jane, though will still include such mid-market features as ABS and ESP stability control, rear parking sensors and about 3,000 or so airbags.
