Have any of you retards actually priced new loaded 3rd row seating equipped SUVs? $30k out the door is cheap! I love how a lot of you act high and mighty all while thinking $30k is a lot of money to pay for a very well equipped vehicle.
Good purchase, Bill. That Kia should serve it's purpose just fine for years to come.

hell most of the damn "American cars" aren't even assembled in America
the toyota tundra is more of an American truck than the two trucks in your sig pic, the gmc and the chevy which were more than likely made in Mexico while the Tundra was built in Texas
most of the "American" cars are made elsewhere to save on "American tax and American wages" and the majority of their parts are made elsewhere too

Also, most of "American" cars are made here in America while the rest in Canada I don't think GM has any cars being produced in Mexico or elsewhere.
Those 2 cars were probably far ahead of any Kia/Hyudai in that time period.

Just to clarify, Kia and Hyundai make cheap cars right? But did they need the Govt to bail em out? Just askin?
I traded my jeep grand cherokee and was upside down an arm and a leg. The american manufactures couldnt do ****. But Toyota was able to take my huge upside down and get me a brand new 2010 Camry SE. Im talking a huge upside down on my trade.

You definitely got a lot on paper for the money. Lots of features. They look pretty nice in person as well. I would not be able to get past the resale value issues. Hyundai and Kia have both stepped up their build quality, but enough time has not passed to prove any kind of reliability.
I'll actually be shopping for a similar car for my wife in a year or two. I don't think I could go for the Korean cars. The Jap cars just seem to have them beat in the quality dept IMO. They are only about 10% more. Buying the Korean car in that scenario is like buying Chinese hand tools imo. Not worth it.
I do think the that Kia is right up there with a $30k GM SUV. That is not saying much. Buying a new GM is giving money to a company owned by a socialist leaning gov't who completely fucked honest investors (bond holders). GM's more expensive cars like the Tahoe are head and shoulders over the Korean cars, but you pay a ton for it.

No offense bro, but you need to move out of hickville... looks fucken nothing like a Lexus that you've been asked more than once.
That said the Lexus is a pile of ****.
Good pick up, hopefully it will give you lots of gas savings.

And what's different? The Optima/Sportage/Sorentos ALL have new body styles/options etc for 2011. Check the reviews.
