I like the look of 2011 Kia Sportage. Another good design, Kia!
Totally agree!
You can't say it better without putting up ******** on CR-V. A top selling vehicle does not mean it's the best vehicle period. The CR-V look never grow on me, the more I look at it, the worse.

Saw one couple of weeks ago with michigan plate on it. I think it's one of the best looking suv's out there. I can say with confidence sorento will be reliable and strong. I couldn't complain about my dad's 08 sorento. Many will be turned off by the name which is a shame.

Wow, Kia is on a roll. I think it looks great.
And this is basically the most affordable SUV on the market. Impressive.
The only thing I think should change is the name. "Sportage" just doesn't work.

I think the Koreans are doing amazing things. Literally every model from Hyundai and KIA over the past couple of years is just top notch and very competitive for its segment of the market

how can anybody find this ugly?
it's not smiling, it doesn't have crazy lines, and it's definitely on a safe side of the design. at worst it's a boring design. Aztek is ugly. Element is ugly. but this isn't ugly. this is one of the better looking small CUV out there. you don't have to like it but i bet you don't even believe this is ugly. maybe it is forgettable, boring, too many VW design cues, etc, etc. but ugly? that's just a cheap shot.

Thick square window trim with rounded taillights, an extremely tall beltline for a Crossover, triangular rear window, etc,. It's not attractive in the slightest because it's not cohesive. I will admit the front end looks decent, much more cohesive, but everything behind the A pillar looks like a mess.
I'm with IS-SV. The CR-V looks much more cohesive than this. But I personally think the best looking car in the class is the Chevy whatever it's called thing. That compact CUV looks good.
