Thanks a lot, Steve, for starting the new forum. We love it. For all the new ones over here, please check the "KIA BL"-one as well, as this was the beginning of our discussion leading to the Sorento. See you all here!

#4 of 4003 Spelling by carspy01 Feb 11, 2002 (6:50 am)
Steve, bluewinds commented to one of my postings (Kia BL) before, and the story behind it is that Kia in Korea originally had a contest in regard to the shape of the logo. The spelling there was Sorrento with 2 r's like the city in Italy. However, Kia decided to change it to Sorento. Keep it like that for now!
#5 of 4003 Why do we have to wait? by delindabv Feb 12, 2002 (3:54 am)
I want a new Sorento now! I've been waiting and looking for spy pics allover the internet dreaming. I already have a Sportage, but it would be nice to have a Sorento to go along with it.   I keep seeing them everywhere, but the KIA logo is always masked.   With buyer demand, I think this one just might make it to dealerships BEFORE Fall 2002.

Sorento with one 'R' is a city in Illinois. That resolves the issue with one versus two Rs. And aligns more with their apparent U.S.-city naming convention (Sedona).   Does anyone know the competitive set in which Kia expects the Sorento to compete? At the L.A. Auto Show they said the Explorer and the Pathfinder. But from what I'm reading lately, that doesn't seem right. Perhaps there is no direct competitor for the Sorento (yet).
#7 of 4003 Looks good by gsogymrat Feb 14, 2002 (8:46 am)
Definitely like what I see so far. Has anyone heard a price estimate or when they will hit the showrooms?

Any inclination about fuel economy for the Sorento? The same 3.5L V6 in the Sedona doesn't get very good fuel economy ratings and it doesn't have to lug around the extra weight of a low range 4WD system. I would expect to see number in the V8 gas hog range of 12-18 mpg. Any thoughts?
#9 of 4003 Sorento shipping date by jeepster4 Feb 14, 2002 (7:17 pm)
Latest word is to expect them in August
#10 of 4003 ...and Sorento pricing by petie2 Feb 15, 2002 (3:44 pm)
The last I heard was around $20,000. Knowing Kia, that's fully loaded. Replies to this message: soreintoe (Oct 09, 2004 3:49 am)
