January 17, 201016 yr Maybe an old news now but. Not the teaser, nor just a renderring, but the pic of the real, production car that was released. The Korean article that I got this pic from is at: http://news.hankyung.com/201001/201001176718g.html?ch=news They get all the credit for these pics. The article are all in Korean, but those of you whom are curious to see the translation of what the Korean press said, I have posted it on my Pontiac site, so PM me then I will give you a link.
January 17, 201016 yr Yeah, I saw this over at Autoblog earlier. It's not bad looking, a huge step above the current iteration.
January 17, 201016 yr Author Oh, btw, if this has already been posted somewhere in this site, please delete it. Thanx. I could not find it anywhere so I decided to post it.
January 17, 201016 yr Profile gives me an Outlander vibe but overall I like it. Kia has really been on a roll with getting their styling together.
January 17, 201016 yr all your previous comments apply. i bet the starting price is very attractive for a basic getabout. i just got done telling my dad today to look at a kia sorento, after the local GM dealer pissed him off telling him there were no discounts on the equinox and probably not any available for a couple months. sportage might be something i can look at in the future.

January 17, 201016 yr Interesting...another iteration of the Kia signature grille, and the greenhouse looks like an upsized Nissan Versa hatchback. Kinda like it. Distinctive.
January 17, 201016 yr Could they have put more of a generic fatass SUV rear end on it? From behind it looks exactly like everything else in the class, which is to say it looks like the fatass in front of you at the gas station, the one who holds the line up buying and scratching off their lotto tickets. The shape is the same Edited January 17, 201016 yr by Satty
January 18, 201016 yr The styling is good except for the huge C-pillar. Kia is moving up fast in the world.

January 18, 201016 yr that thing's UGLY. the grill looks terrible and doesn't mesh with the rest of the car at all. and the back end has too much emptiness which makes it look bloated. the current design actually stands out in the crowd while this thing looks like every other generic SUV out there. overall a step backwards IMO
January 18, 201016 yr Overall not bad, but that C-pillar is HUGE and the rear is rather generic/bulbous
