Finally saw one of these. Really cool looking. Good price point, too.

I'm a fan, we're definitely going to take a close look at these when we go to replace the wife's Sienna. The reviews on them have been very positive.
This, like the Stinger, look very nice. The problem is that you have to deal with the low rent Kia dealerships.
I think the board has agreed 3 things on these:
- They're like 5/8 scale of what we thought
- Base trim looks stupid
- Off-lease SX models will be the deal of the century in 2 years
and it's a Kia.Dill-Ag13 said:

It's not 2005 anymore bro.
Korean top hat? Range Rover in the front and Porsche in the back for body styling?
Just pulled up more pix. Rover front and Volvo butt?

We were looking at Sedonas until the wife saw this. We drove one and really dig it. I think one is in my future. They really killed it on the interior. Question is how soon can I find one of these off-lease SX models.
Why does the back end look like a crying anime character
can't unsee
The introductory commercial was way better than the actual vehicle.

This. I was really hoping for a RWD platform. Instead,
It's much smaller, shorter and compact from the concept that was shown around to the world.
The Palisade is said to also replace the Maxcruz aka LWB Santa Fe. They still share the same old underpinnings. So really it goes back to the EN platform Veracruz, which is Based off Sonata architecture. So just another car based crossover.

The one where the driver destroys a fenced in yard?

Yes. Destruction is always fun and it made it look like a Tahoe/Yukon/Expy competitor not another blah small SUV
i think it looks like this
If anyone is actually serious about buying one instead of talking **** let me know
Buddy owns the Kia dealership in Richmond/Rosenberg
Trust me...it's not low rent.

They look pretty nice.
We purchased a 2016 KIA Soul for our 16 year old son back in September of last year, and I've got to say, KIA makes a pretty damn good car for the money. That car drives great, has plenty of bells and whistles, and gets good gas mileage. The car seems rock solid.
If I were in the market for a midsize SUV, I would definitely look at the Telluride.
South Korea makes good stuff. Our machine shop has a few Daewoo and Hyundai Wia CNC machines and they are lasting better than the Japanese machines that cost $100,000 more.
Test drove one this past weekend. Drives really nice and not wanting for power. Likely the wife's next vehicle.
Large second and third rows too. Very few SX models to be found at the moment they're selling so well.
We've been Kia fans for years now. Wife's current one that's almost 7 year old has been nails. No issues, and has held up really well.
They offer a very hard to beat value proposition, and continue to make increasingly nicer vehicles.

Not to mention a smoking Powertrain warranty. Depreciation is loltastic though
Keep it as long as that 10 year warranty and the loltastic depreciation doesn't matter...
True but most will lease an LX for 2 years
Have my eye on one of these guys next year in the SX trim. Any comparable SUVs worth looking at? I'm inclined to go with foreign/asian brand. European may be out of my budget. Unfortunately my last two vehicles Jeep and Ford have been mechanical and quality disappointments.
The new HIghlander looks pretty good. While it's not nearly as exciting or design focus as the Kia, your points about Mechanical and Quality will be satisfied with the Highlander.lazuras_dc said:

subaru ascent would be on my list. AWD and priced about $10k less than the kia/hyundai
Plus you can park the Toyota and the Subie in a garage.
I have an SX Prestige on order in Black Copper / Dune Brown Nappa interior. I'm told it should arrive in April...
It'll replace my wife's '14 CX-9.

April? like 7 months from now?

I never thought I'd see the day that people are fighting and willing to wait for a Kia.

I never thought I'd see the day that people are fighting and willing to wait for a Kia.
And at a time when Kia is recalling vehicles left and right for catching fire without warning.

Kia got bought by Dodge?

Ha, must have been. I think the Kia/Hyundai fire recalls are even bigger than Dodge's at this point, and they keep expanding it to more models and years.
