i was talking about ANY SUV anyways. like i said… numerous times… anyways the source for the sorento truck is unknown. i searched “sorento” on yahoo images and it was on there. it also had interior images of a right hand drive sorento (same truck) with an in dash nav (didn’t think that was avail. on current sorentos) and a pic from the front OUT the rear. reminded me a lot of a nissan frontier. i’m assuming it was real not photoshop but i’ve never seen a sorento truck… hmmm…

Oh, I totally forgot about the base Sorento. Williams doesn’t stock them, and Kia doesn’t acknowledge the base Sorento on their options page.

08 Base Sorento does not come with rails. But it is standard on LX and Up

“The only vehicle that has optional roof rails…” I was talking about Kia vehicles.

That would be the base model 2005 Sorento. Starting in 2007 roof rails were standard on American spec Sorento. I was referring to 2009 models anyway. That Sorento pickup is sooo awesome! KIA NEEDS TO MAKE IT! Put a 4 cyl in it, and it would take off!

What model year is that? It seems to me like it was base model from 2006…

Perhaps you both were right. What if earlier Sorento models didn’t have roof rails, while 08 or 09 models get more standard equippment and that includes roof-rails?
-
Hey that’s great, is that a photoshop or a real Sorento pick-up? What’s the source?

not true… i’ll include a picture proving it. this model i found is a base sorento and doesn’t have any sort of roof rail system @ all! i’ve personally owned a new explorer w/out rails, my best friend (& kindof room mate) has a 2007 Honda Pilot with no roof rails of any sort as well…

PS – click my name for an interesting sorento pic i found while finding a pic in reference to Greg.

The only vehicle that has optional roof rails in the US would be the Sedona. Roof rails are standard on Rondo, Sportage, Sorento, Sedona LX and EX, and Borrego. Crossbars are optional though.

So how does it look like in-person. I assume you had been in a rush to catch the airplane , but most probably took a minute to take a look at it. What do you think of Soul Andy?

I think this picture was taken in Incheon Airport in Seoul. I was there 2 weeks ago and they had the Kia Soul and the Hyundai Genesis coupe on display.
