Kia working on the 2011 Magentis Estate

According to the latest reports, it appears that Kia is working on a estate version of the 2011 Magentis, which was recently introduced at the New York Auto Show.

Regarding the sedan version, Kia is currently debating what to call it in Europe, because the Magentis badge will not be used in Europe and it appears that the manufacturer is debating between ‘K5’, as the car is known in Korea, and ‘Optima’, as it is known as in the US.

So Kia is building its version of the new Hyundai Sonata. Do we forget that Kia/Hyundai is like Ford/Mazda.

Doesn't Hyundai own Kia outright vs Ford has like 10% of Mazda, yet somehow has controlling interest?
