Talking Possible New Model ????

Whilst we looked at cars yesterday before signing up for the Escape (different thread) ...we noticed the Subaru has an Outback model, Mitsubishi has an Outlander....My partner and I reckon Perhaps Kia need to bring out the "Outhouse"

The guy I car pool with at work had his late model Kia carnival at the dealership for over 3 weeks as Kia had to fit new heads to it as the head gaskets kept blowing because of the bad design of pre 2003 heads. He has 5 kids so the car was cheap to carry his family around in. If he had the money he would have got a Chrysler Voyager or Toyota Tarago. But they are a cheap car for people that have limited resources.

Well if what I heard is right then there will be a turbo sitting on top of the supercharger..giving you more bang for your buck...guesstimate of 450hp at the rear wheels..minimum.

not everyone can afford the luxury of some of the cars members here own. all they need is something to get the from a to b and their families. if the KIA does the job then goodluck to them. as everyone said pointless thread. Gotta say I am a little disappointed with the attitude of some people.
