The 2006.5 Kia Optima is available with an optional Appearance Package that runs $1,000 on the LX four-cylinder and $800 if you’ve chosen the LX V6. This package requires the purchase of the optional automatic transmission and adds great-looking 17-inch alloy wheels wearing Michelin performance tires, a blacked-out grille and headlights, fog lights, a Supervision gauge cluster, a trip computer, automatic headlights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, aluminum interior trim, and silver accent interior door handles. A similar package is offered on the EX models, but includes black leather upholstery and black interior trim for $1,500.
