STUD or DUD? Should Kia Go TWO-TONE With The Telluride?

STUD or DUD? Should Kia Go TWO-TONE With The Telluride?
While parsing through some dealer listings today, we came across something interesting.

Although a Kia Telluride may not light everyone's fire straight out of the gate, this one was a bit different than your average Telluride. That's because it featured something we haven't seen before.

That would be a two-tone exterior.

As of now we can't tell if it was painted or simply vinyl added on at the dealer. I've seen this done at other dealers that apply a wrap to the roof to give it a more distinct look.

After seeing this white example, with a black roof and black accents elsewhere, we're thinking that there could be something bigger here. Remember, two-tone color schemes have been HOT on vehicles such as the MINI Cooper, Land Rover Range Rover, Evoque, Toyota CH-R and many others.

Having said that, we've got to ask: Is the Kia Telluride a STUD or DUD with a two-tone look?

Dud. It fails miserably at the D pillar

Point is...somebody will buy it.

Yeah, that D-pillar treatment kinda killed the overall look. Had they just made the roof color black & body/pillars/lower rocker trim white, it might have looked a lot better. Nice try.

I find the strange "B" pillar (curve) treatment of the Telluride to be discordant with the rest of the design. Blacking out the top takes care of that but its not a reason to two-tone the whole vehicle.

It works, though the treatment is similar to Jeep's smaller SUVs. I wish they'd do something about the front-end design which is just not attractive.

Still not as ugly as the FuglyTruck.

A black roof is fine, but the C-pillar is not right.
