Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

Excellent color choice.

Goodbye sweet prince. 6 years of ownership and you will be missed. Rotten frame cut your life short. May your 5.3 live on to power someone's LS swap. 

Lift install dah. 

So very Florida.

Inflation, and have you seen how nice the Kia's have been for the past 5-10 years? Not to mention, this is a plug in hybrid. Taking inflation into account, this is about $47k to $48k in 2006 dollars. Closest thing you could get to this in 2006 was a Highlander or RX hybrid. Stickers for those would be between $39k for the Highlander and probably over $50k for the Lexus. And I bet this is a nicer car and more capable car than those, which is saying something.

Best action figure ever.

MSRP is almost $30k lower than that, though.

I just built one on KIA.com for $54,700. Website for that dealer and stock number shows $49,465.

And, they only have 16 new vehicles in stock, total. So I'm guessing that the sticker price is just for show, but is also because there isn't much available period.

Imagine telling someone you spent $65k on a Kia.
