Making its global debut at the Chicago Auto Show, the Niro’s targeted fuel economy is an optimistic 50 mpg.

In this year’s Super Bowl 50 ads, we saw everything from singing sheep, vegan bears, and even a few sentimental commercials that hit us in the feels.

Kia has unveiled its 2016 Super Bowl commercial starring Christopher Walken. The commercial starts off innocent enough, with a gentleman named Richard asking his wife where his beige socks are.

Walken then reveals the new Kia Optima, saying that it’s like “the world’s most exciting pair of socks.” SEE ALSO: 2016 Kia Optima Review It’s a pretty bizarre commercial, but a good watch nonetheless.
