Kia did a great job on that Borrego front end, absolutely a gorgeous looking midsize SUV! Looks like a large SUV but I’ve noticed it being called a “midsize” SUV.

According to Williams, They will install a DVD player for 1.500. They will include it in the vehicle price. Williams also installs accessories, like sometimes the’ll install The visors and a hood protector as soon as it comes off the truck. Big Kia of Phoenix installs Oprius grilles on all of their amantis If you want to see them, drop me a line.. Mud Guards and foor mats are standard at williams.

I got to drive the V8 2 weeks ago and all I have to say is WOW! I took it on a 15 mile Test Drive and when I punched it, it flew. I am in awe of the Borrego, and it is very roomy for a mid-sized SUV. My only complaint is it sits a little too low, but it does give it better handling than its compeditiors. Also, it does complete donuts if you turn the wheel all the way to the left or right. Not to many SUV’s can boast that turning radius.

The Sportage 2WD starting price is over 21.000 Euros…

Other manufacturer do not think the same way, we now have in Canada popular car like 2009 Toyota new model Corolla reknown for it’s quality and durability at a cheaper price than a almost uknown 2008 old model Kia Spectra!! If a manufacturer like kia wants to take more market as they claim it, they will have to adjust themselves at least on the competition if they do not want to do it over the U.S.Dollar!

From a business perspective. In Canada the Borrego is $10,000 more even though the dollar is almost on par. Being in the business and having to answer questions like that all the time I can tell you the reasons why. Kia Motors America is a seperate franchise from Kia Canada. The US car market is more than 10 times the size of the Canadian market, and Kia Motors America gets thier cars at a lower price than Kia Canada. Just due to the fact that in Canada we sell about 40,000 Kia’s annually, in the US its over 400,000 annually. Also auto companies do not follow dollar trends as they fluctuate, daily, right now the US is going through some tough financial times but within a year or 2 it will go back to normal. If that was the case prices on cars would also have to fluctuate on a daily basis making it confusing to the customer. In Canada for 2009 Kia prices are the same as 2008, they have not increased or decreased. Although we have added a base Sedona to make it appear that the Sedona has dropped in price.

Patrick, I’m on the same boat as you. I just don’t understand why car companies jack up the price of all their cars here in Australia. I reackon if they brought the Borrego to Australia it would start at around $38,000 maybe $40,000???
