Yep. Don't tell me that is the commercial that hooked you on the Sorento looks. "Sorento its cool its hip its crazy fun in a stuffed puppet kinda way"
Yes. Many Daewoo vehicles were shitty. GM absorbed their burden right before (or alongside) the period when the Government bailed them out and claimed a major stake in the company. Kia is well on it's way to becoming a household name associated with quality. Yet another example when humanity is trumped by an uprising society that is coming to terms with their capabilities for the first time.
No, I like the looks of them anyway. I think they look well built. Sock puppets always creeped me out anyway.
