Chaperone Jason Griffin, far left, holds up a poster with questions on King Philip’s War. Buildings were burned and destroyed by American Indians in a three-day attack that ended when troops arrived from Marlborough to rescue the 99 people hiding in the fortified tavern. Right: English teacher Rina Maynard tells the students about the farm site at Foster Hill and the death of John Ayres. Ayres, killed on the first day of the siege, was the owner of the fortified tavern in which the sur- vivors hid.

Kia Optima Changes for 2009, Which Makes the 2008 Ripe for a Good Value

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Manufacturers treat automotive journalists just like they do regu- lar customers. They push metal towards us that is soon to be obso- lete, just hoping we’ll give it one more plug before it is relegated to the remainder rack. Such was the case recently with the Nissan Maxima. In July, Nissan delivered a 2008 model to my door after the ’09 models were on sale. Then, this past week, Kia delivered a 2008 Optima to my door. Now, in Kia’s defense, the 09 Optima doesn’t go on sale for at least a couple of weeks. (Not even Kia can say definitively when it goes on sale, which kind of cracks me up.) So, I’m not going to call this a new car review. This is more like a used car review. After all, the The Kia Optima is the ultimate non-descript sedan, but it’s a good value. model I drove, a 2.4-liter, four- cylinder, EX trim level had about about $200 a year in fuel costs. cent increase over the previous- assist system, but Kia charges 10,600 miles on it.
