Summit Place Kia
Here at Summit Place Kia we are proud to announce that multiple vehicles in Kia Motors’ lineup have been recognized for the fourth consecutive year. Vehicles are rated by The Car Book based on overall value including safety features, fuel economy and ownership costs. Here is the press release from Kia:
Borrego
IRVINE, Calif., – After recently announcing its 14th consecutive year of increased market share, second best January sales month ever and the all-new 2010 Kia Soul urban lifestyle passenger vehicle, Kia Motors America (KMA) is proud to announce that four of its models, including Borrego, Optima, Rondo and Spectra, have been recognized as a “Best Bet” by The Car Book 2009. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Optima has been recognized.
“We are extremely pleased to have multiple Kia Motors vehicles once again recognized as ‘Best Bets’ by The Car Book,” said Byung Mo Ahn, group president and CEO of KMA and Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia (KMMG). “It reflects the continued growth of Kia vehicles and the strong quality and value they bring to market, especially during these difficult economic times.”
Optima
The Car Book 2009 is an updated and expanded guide to buying a new 2009 car, van, truck or SUV. It presents the latest safety ratings, dealer prices, fuel economy, insurance premiums, maintenance costs, tires, as well as a chart of state lemon laws, and is published in cooperation with the Center for Auto Safety.
The Car Book’s “Best Bet” distinction, given annually, is based on objective information collected from government and independent sources that evaluate the safety and performance needs of the American consumer. Only cars that have ratings in all of the key Car Book categories – safety features, fuel economy, rollover, front and side crash tests, maintenance and repair costs, warranties, insurance costs, and complaints, with the greatest emphasis placed on crash test performance – are considered as potential “Best Bets.”
Rondo
“The Car Book has long been the consumer’s best guide to smart and sensible car buying,” said Jack Gillis, author of The Car Book. “We appreciate the fact that Kia continues to make a significant contribution to improving the market choices for the American car buyer.”
