The Kia Borrego. Really? That's what we wanted now? That's what we needed in the middle of an energy crisis? A cheap V8-powered SUV? You jump from itty-bitty cheap cars to this? What would you mother say if she found out? The vehicle itself could be good, we haven't had a chance to drive it yet. Either way, Number_Six is right that this is just awful, awful, awful timing. It's an honest mistake given how much lead time you need to develop a new vehicle, God understands.
