I think the interior looks spectacular for a Kia, personally. The exterior isn't great, but it's not bad either. More importantly, it's less of a blatant rip off of other automakers than many other Hyundai and Kia models.

It has 276 horsepower 5 speed auto V6, 337 horsepower 6 speed auto V8 and gets decent gas mileage for the class. Starts at $27,000 for the V6 and tops out at $37,000 (leather, navigation or DVD, and all the normal doodads) for a loaded V8. I'd say it's an excellent competitor to the Explorer, 4Runner, Pathfinder, and Trailblazer. Too bad it's 5 years too late to be a sales success.
