[...] it was made public that Kia was introducing an all-new body on frame SUV in 2009, I called them crazy. Well, sales haven’t exactly been hot, or even lukewarm. Kia will not be making a 2010 [...]

Good to see that I’m not alone in thinking the Borrego is a foolish product to build and release at this point.

For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone buys Kia, so the 20% jump is baffling to me. Who wants to tell their friends / family that they just bought a Kia?

Kia is clearly an intelligent automaker; growing ridiculously fast and making money. But this Borrego – boring styling on a quickly-growing-outdated type of chassis – isn’t an example of this intelligence. So to answer your question, no. You’re not the only one who thinks the Borrego is 8 years too late. Kia’s USA sales managed to climb 20% in October, however.
