I have a Kia Sorento and am looking to replace it soon, with another Kia. And while searching the informations about new redesigned Sorento, I found lots of informations about other Kia SUVS coming to the market in the next few months. First, there is a 7-seat Mesa, large body on frame SUV and the other one which is more like a mini crossover vehicle. It is called SOUL. Here are some pics of Mesa: http://www.kia-world.net/index.php/2007/09/20/kia-mesa-teaser-shot/ and SOUL: http://www.kia-world.net/index.php/2007/09/21/kia-soul-crossover-puzzle/ What do you think about these two SUVs?

I don't want to lose the economy of my Sportages. I did kinda like its looks though. I would definitely consider the Soul when it comes time to replace my wife's Sportage (hers never gets off pavement-she only needs 4x4 for the occasional deep snow we get), but it doesn't suit my needs at all. The main drawback is lack of ground clearance...neat lookin' rig though!

But i guess it all depends on what you need out of the car, after this winter my sporty will rarely see any pavement, while there are others who's Sporty raely gets off the pavement. I'm going to wait to pass judement until I actually see one and see some data and spec's. 08' Jeep Wrangler 64' Plymouth Sport Fury 383 58' Triumph TR-3A Moderated by  4x4Wire, Axe Man, DamKia  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
