As every month passes here at Arapahoe Kia, serving drivers in the greater Denver area, we are continually impressed by the amount of growth the automaker has experienced. This year has included many milestones and highlights, and we thought it would a good idea to really honor these accomplishments.
One thing we're fans of is Kia racing vehicles, and this year, two models have captured podium finishes at prestigious events on the rally circuit. The No. 38 Infinity Kia Optima claimed third place at the Pirelli World Challenge, while the entire Kia racing team earned two-straight wins at the Pirelli World Challenge Championships too.
The Optima racer wasn't the only one getting in on the action. The No. 12 Infinity Auto Forte Koup also picked up a podium finish while on the track. The two-door option from Kia earned second place at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Speaking of racing, it appears many drivers raced to Kia dealerships across the nation to get their hands on new Kia models. The automaker bested its monthly sales numbers regularly, and had the highest half-year sales numbers in its history. Of course, you can thank the likes of the Optima for continuing to satisfy drivers and auto experts alike.
Not only that, but at the Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia facility, the 500,000th Kia model rolled off the line. The plant, which produces the Kia Sorento and the Optima, routinely does a top-notch job, and also shows the automaker's efforts to manufacture its quality vehicles right here in America.
Let's not forget the numerous awards Kia has earned across its lineup either. We could go on for days listing them, but we'll point out one in particular. On the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, the Kia Soul was among those honored near the top of the list.
Of course, the best way to learn more about the new Kia lineup that's impressing drivers everywhere is by stopping in to Arapahoe Kia, located at 9400 East Arapahoe Greenwood Village, CO 80112. We're always happy to answer questions, and arrange test drives at your convenience.
