This must be the "Mohave" in Korea. In Korea, the Mohave has it's own logo and stuff, just like the Stinger, no Kia anywhere.

Given how it looks, there's more of that than the Stinger. It's also been out for years already. Also more expensive than the Stinger.

That would be a main selling point for me. I wouldn't be interested without them

It wouldn't make it or break it for me either - but I do love those suicide doors.

Looks a lot like the Borrego. Let's hope it is nothing like that was.

That's enough for me. It's the only reason I like the Stinger. I was looking at an Accord Sport before this. I'm not a fan of SUVs, so it would have to be something different for it to interest me.

Behold, the defunct Kia Borrego.

Way too small to be the Telluride

The mid-2000s Borrego is notably bigger in every dimension than today's Sorrento by 5 inches in length and wheelbase. It was a classic body on frame RWD based 7-passenger SUV with an available V8. This was no tiny ute. Telluride to me seems a tad larger and overall a reboot of the larger SUV Kia once had. Borrego was a poor seller so we'll see how the Telluride will turn out.

Don't worry, Kia isn't making another Borrego here.

That vehicle still sells in some parts of Europe and Asia. They have developed it into a luxury SUV, while it debut at a time when the US market wasn’t ready for it due to high gas prices, it got some good reviews. With the world now clammoring for them and buying then in droves, this vehicle should do well if they price it right. However, Genesis is also releasing an SUV, most likely on the same platform, so KIA is going be somewhat restrained with their version.

I believe this is it. Very nice... Check out the wood in the center console. Very cool. Lexus does this as well. I like that...

Not yet. I'm window shopping now. I want to pay off some debt first. But I'm looking at purchasing around summer. Hopefully things will be leaking out about the 2019 so I can decide whether or not to wait.
