So I was right, when we first saw spy shots of this, that wasn’t the original grille, This grille is the same grille that is on Forte and 09′ Optima.

K-Sport: I don’t think that’s photoshoped because the cover is on the floor. What I was thinking was an employee, who works for Kia, must have taking a picture for someone who was very interested in this model. So the employee took the person’s cammra and took the picture for him/her to show just enough of the model but not to much. If you ask me, they shown the face of this a LOT quicker than when Borrego was in this stage. I’m very suprised at how much they allowed this to been seen inside and out. So I can’t really complain since car manufactores have the right not to show anything until reveal day at whatever autoshow.

OzyTone—–I wonder how genuine these so-called “spy photos” are?? How hard would it have been to slip around the side and the rear of the vehicle in an obvious empty room. It’s probably a ploy by Kia to create some interest—–
Funny, thats exactly that i was thinking yesterday when I was showing to it one of my cousins. If the guy could take pix of the interior, he was obviously in a good position to take a side view pic or a rear view. The interior pic might b real but the exterior pic could very much b a photoshop. We’ve all seen how good photoshop pros can be…

It looks like a Ford Edge and Nissan Murano rival.

I wonder how genuine these so-called “spy photos” are?? How hard would it have been to slip around the side and the rear of the vehicle in an obvious empty room. It’s probably a ploy by Kia to create some interest, it wouldn’t be the first time from a manufacturer and we’ll be drip feed more naked shots in the ensuing months. They’ve achieved what they want, because not only this site but many others on the web have taken up the story and have the very same photos.

It it was just a little more to the right, I could see the side profile. Sooooo, I’mmmm just going to assume that its D pillar looks like the KND-4′s C- Pillar (on account it doesn’t have 4 doors so it’s not D pillar). It’s been Scheyerlized though.

The interior has been Scheyrerlized.

The SOul is a special car and is made to stand out from the rest of the line-up. But, I feel that The soul will get the signature H-grille. I dont think an H-grille will suit borrego’s bold looks.

Why soul and borego don’t have large H-shapped grille??

Yes, Kia’s interiors look much better on the newer cars of Kia, namely, Soul, this sorento, Forte and Lotze. I And i even like the steering wheels of these new cars although the Lotze’s is still that same. They should use the steering of this 2010 sorento on Kia’s larger cars [Optima, Opirus, Carens, Carnival and sportage but not Mohave]. And the Soul’s steering wheel should be used on Picanto, Rio, Forte and cee’d [Forte already has it and the cee'd mini-MPV also has the same steering]

I see you like the exterior, but How about the interior? I find it much more interesting than the exterior design. I was hoping to see more kUE concept -like vehicle. It was such a wonderful design. Why the heck, did Kia spent money on it, when we know it’s not coming to production…
