Looks like a bloody van…DON’T change the sorento

So you bought a used Van? This isn’t the forum for that. Used cars can have problems that stem from the previous owner not getting their service done right. That is not KIAs fault.

Like Colby said “This isn’t the forum for that” you bought a used car and it happens here in the States all the time.
Don’t blame KIA because you got burned by a dealer smarter than you…..Buyer Beware did you not test drive it befor buying and did you take it too a mechanic and have it looked at… Your fault not KIA’s

idiot…
anyways, show the whole pic of the rendering, HIMI. i’m guessing you got the pic from LLN.com???? they have the whole front & rear on there. it does look like a van in THIS pic but looks great in the full pix.

click on the picture it will take you to the Leftlane site with more pictures, Himi should have mentioned it below the picture.
If it comes close to the rendering its quite a good looking vehicle, kind of seems like the Borrego is taking the slot where the current Sorento is positioned.
Whats that guy putting in a complaint about a used vehicle in this forum, that should be removed as its no relevance here and also its going to be no help to him.

2001 Sedona? Sorry but that doesn’t really support why people shouldn’t by a Kia. That’s back when the Sephia was around like 7 or 8 years ago. Did Hyundai even buy Kia back then? Anyway as I get back to 2008 (Kia’s quility is above average now from 7 or 8 years ago) this reminds me of the MDX a little and BMW X5.

Joshy Lofty I too went to Left Lane and saw your post. You saw this vehicle without anything covering it? So tell me what you think. I don’t really see a van in this figure but how close is this from the actual vehicle?

Yes, this image is from Leftlanenews who recently published several interesting spy images of Sorento. Just a day or two ago they posted they showed some spy shots of almost naked Sorento. It did have some camouflage on, but a lot less than we have been used to see so far.
You could see the side of the SUV completely undisguised. Looks really good and has similar concave patern (line) on the lower part of doors, similar as Pro_cee’d.
Now, I wish I could publish more of those images, but not long ago, I got an email from Brenda Pridy. Don’t know much about her, but I see her name written on most of the spy shots taken in the USA. So she must be a spy photographer or she owns a company that sells spy pics to automotive magazines and blogs.
She urged me to remove all copyrighted images from the site otherwise I could face some serious trouble because of violiting the copyright rules.
Now, I have two choices: first, I publish only a part of the image and then link it to the source or to buy the images from the company. But since this blog is not monetized, I hardly could afford to buy those images, that’s why I decided to post only a small image that connects you to the source, where you can see rendering of Sorento’s front and rear fascia.
I hope you do understand me, I wish I could show them here, but that’s how things stand.

I understnad. You have to be careful when it comes to spy shots. Himi I would be very disappointed if you paid a penny for those spy shots because next year the SUV will be revealed and those spy shots you purchased would be for nothing. For example, why would anyone want to see Forte spy shots when the actual car is only like 2 blogs away from this? Also, why buy spyshots when you can just go to a website and look at them for free at anytime?
Besides, I seen better spy shots of the Sorento even if the Sorento is almost naked. Remember we saw the interior of the Sorento like a month ago on this blog? So don’t make them richer for nothing.

I reckon once it’s out there in the public area…it’s out there for all to see and use. Good-luck, if they want to chase me up and take out legal proceedings, it’d cost them a fortune. Don’t put or sell anything to someone if its going on the web, keep it to yourself. Look at You-Tube and the like, its full of stuff that people don’t want anybody to see and once its out there, it only takes seconds to go around the world.
OzyTone.

i love the fact that it has the same side details the the new Forte! The grill is a great add for Kia the side detail in the lower body panel really calls out that these vehicles are part of a family! Bravo Heir Peter!

I like it, it has a really nice appeal. I see it can be favored to the Volkswagen, Volvo, Suzuki, and Hyundai.

The bitching people here do not have a single idea about who is the designer of Kia, but only thinking out of their arse that Kia can’t make an attractive car. Peter Schrier was one of the lead designer of Audi, joined Kia a long long time ago as chief VP for design.
You’d rather spit on his face than bitching.
