2009 Kia Borrego Review With the SUV market steadily flowing south like the Mississippi River toward the Gulf of Mexico, one wonders why Kia would introduce an all-new SUV, much less one with a V8 engine!

During the press conference for the 2007 Kia Rondo, someone asked the question: 'So what, exactly, is a crossover vehicle?' And just like that, it was on. Heated discussion and argument ensued, between Kia's PR people and the media, and among the media themselves.
Although it's still one of the least expensive cars sold in the United States, Kia's Rio has visions of competing with products other than used cars. All-new for 2006, the 2006 Kia Rio5 gains more upscale looks, standard side-curtain airbags, and additional refinement that should finally put it in the game against Toyota and the Big Three.
Each successive generation of Kia products represents a big change and improvement over its predecessor. This bodes well for the Korean manufacturer's future. Consider this: every year since first entering the U.S. market in 1994, Kia has posted a sales increase over the previous year.
