Have you guys heard anything about the Kia Borrego? My wife is wanting one after going by the Kia dealership today. They gave me a quote on an '09 V6 LX with leather and the works for $18,900.
Just wondering if you guys have heard anything good, bad, something in between? I've read the reviews online, but those things are not the most accurate pieces of information in the world... those guys can be easily bought out to say whatever the company wants. (IMO heh)

Go to an enthusiast site.
I've checked them out, and most of them are overpriced, and just kinda plain.
Honestly, Go check out the new 2011 Sorento, it is WAY nicer.

I concur with Redzman..take a look at the 2011 Kia Sorento. They're now made in America at the new Georgia plant and it looks very nice. The quality should be many times better than the previous generations using Hyundai's new technologies and manufacturing techniques.

Yeah, all Kia dealers should have ONE in stock, for you to check out, and will start selling them in a few weeks. Pricing is good, and they are frigging beautiful inside.

heh forgot to update this...
Well, the only real bad points I could find was that it was plain looking. But my wife loved it, and since it's her car, that's all that matters.
Got this thing home (only paid 18,900 for a brand new 09!! Someone else beat that for a 28,000 dollar vehicle.) and really REALLY looked this thing over. Come to find out, it has the 3.8L Genesis engine in it!! So if something should happen to it, I have a huge engine candidate for my Tib (when I buy one next month)!! lol
This car really isn't that bad though. Room for days with the third row seating. Mostly importantly... this Borrego is 50 times better than the Heap Liberty we traded for it!! I guess I could post some pics too.

Wow, nice man. They aren't bad at all, just wanted way too much for them.
You DO know Kia has cancelled the Borrego right?
They barely sold 10K the first year, so it has been discontinued. Either way, congrats!
