We've been thinking about trading in our 2004 Sorento after it's paid off later this year, but the 2009 still has the annoying ass ebrake handle that digs into my right leg.

So I've been waitiing for the 2010 Sorento to get released, and it goes on sale in April.

Check these out.

Still rocking the 3.8L, with a 2.0 as an option.

^^^
The Sorento looks nothing like the car you posted. The Sorento is a midsized SUV, are you crazy? Really, you can have your opinion, but don't post retarded stuff. Brand identitiy? Everyone has something, Kia's new line is all coming with a similar grill, and similar headlights.

And Daewoo? Daewoo and Kia are not related in any way whatsoever. Hyundai owns most of Kia, and passed on Daewoo totally. GM bought Daewoo, that's where the Chevy Aveo comes from.

As for copying, they all copy each other, it's always been that way, always will be. Taillights with the euro/Altezza style got popular and now they are commonly an influence on ALL cars. Just lay off the negativity, it's PAST old.

It's not a concept, look at all of the links. They have started manufacturing them, they go on sale in April. You DID see the real pics in those right?
