I said it before and I'm going to say it again, "That Kia Telluride is one hell of a design one hell of a design indeed!!"

Very nice design all around, with one major exception. The headlights are still terrible. 2010 GMC called and wants them back.

Pretty decent. Will take it over most of the american competitors but WILL never buy or lease this over the germans.

Having lived with a Telluride for a number of months, it's the real deal and hits way above its league. It's simply better than a Lexus RX and damn near equal the same-sized Germans that comparably equipped are twice the price.

The Explorer I had for a few months was in need of another year or two prototype development and a major restyling. The Explorer is worse than its predecessor in every way.

The XT6 I currently have is very nice, but the Traversequinox under it shines through. It's not as horrible as the Explorer, but neither is it as perfect as an Aviator. Here too, the Telluride meets and exceeds it for much less.

I know I'll get hate mail for this, but The Telluride looks great in pictures. In the real, it's just a big bloated wagon on small wheels. To me, it has no presence as an SUV. From the rear it really reminds me of a minivan (followed two today and that's all I kept thinking). The profile is Envoy. The front end is just GMC/Chevy, but more tragic. The interior is gorgeous and still looks good in person, so I'll give it credit there.

Love the shape of it, love the headlight treatment. Looks cool and modern and different. I don't need the crazy pattern inside the grill, but that's really no big deal.

It's a personal preference, and for those that like it, that's great. But I don't go for the blacked out look at all. Really hate black wheels. I'm just for old school chrome.

It looked nice until I realized this is a FWD/AWD configuration with a transverse engine. This is a no-go for people like me who take care of their own maintenance.

Just like the rest of the Hyundai/kia lineup it will be rattling within 6 months... people need to stop being fooled by how "fancy" they are and how for the money its such a steal.. If it were as nice as the Germans it would be as expensive as them. You cant build a car even close to Mercedes caliber for half the price period.
