How about that New Kia optima Turbo!

They are definitely turning a corner in a good direction with their new product, I just don’t think the market they are going after is ready to pull the trigger just yet. Also yes a manual would be awesome, but also a manual in a mid/full size sedan is a dieing breed of its own in the US so a manual option may never come around.

Then again, because a manual in a midsize sedan is a dying breed, that could give them that niche market the nissan maxima used to enjoy for a while.
