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). |

| 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? | |
| Latest word is to expect them in August | |
The last I heard was around $20,000. Knowing Kia, that's fully loaded.

| My wish list for The Sorento tranny is 5 speed automatic, why does Kia design in a 4 speed automatic tranny? | |

Hi, everyone, I'm back. Please check out the official Korean Kia-site: www.kia.co.kr Click the language Korean (NOT English), do NOT download the Korean text display, there it is! The animation (second Korean link) is pretty cool, but takes forever. Very nice photos, even a 7-seater configuration!!! Too bad we won't get half of the goodies! See you around. As always. |

Where is the buzz? This is seriously best looking SUV. Europeans agreed on one of their initial image survery beating out Lexus RX300. Kia's image will change with the new Sorento. I checked out http://www.kia.co.kr/mall/rv/sorento.asp
The price starts at $15,700 and tops off at $20,800. (converted at $1 = 1300 won) This SUV has everything that new Honda Pilot has for a few thousands less. Nice touches like 3rd row seats, headlight washers, etc. Wow! |
