yes this same question is being discussed on another forum also, but the Korean factory built 2,853 Carens/Rondo's in July for export (don't have August figures yet), so something must be happening.
But like you I can't seem to find anything anywhere on what the changes for 2010 Rondo are going to be. KIA said they are going to change the whole lineup by 2012 and by that time the Borrego will be the oldest vehicle in the pack. You would think there would be hints of some changes as you seem to know all about the other models.

Fuel filler lid by 9394

i just noticed that some of the other Rondo have a lockable fuel filler lid (close flat and has to be opened from inside pulling a latch), but mine is not lockable.
is this new to the 09 model or is it only available to certain trim?

the lockable fuel filler lid was opened by pushing a button on the drivers door, this was only on the '07 and '08 models. It was changed to the none lockable type for '09.

they keep changing bits of things each year - but why they go backwards is beyond me! The '07 was the best equipped model for the little things.
 
Can't help you on a lockable cap, but there is other auto stores besides Cdn Tire. What's the dealer say? I've never had the need for one, even all my other vehicles that had non-lockable cap covers - never was an issue.

(when is this site ever going to get upto date with other forums and allow signatures and profiles that show up with each posting - its the only forum that I belong too that is so backward in this respect - its a pain! They said over a year ago it was going to change but nothings happened yet!)

as of the end of September '09, the only models made at the China factory are the Pride (Rio), Cerato, Forte, Optima, Carnival, and Sportage, no indication yet on the Carens.

I am not sure if 07 or 08 models are better in the US. Here are the main feature differences that I consider important:
 
07 Rondo has:
Cargo light
Glove box light
Better cup holder
 
08 Rondo has:
Trip computer
Aux audio input
 
Anyway, the 09 model seems to be the worse among the 3. Nevertheless, new features are added to the 2010.

Does anybody know of a supplier for a cold air intake for the Rondo?
