    Kia sold 5,570 Telluride for April

    I'm certainly no expert, but when those numbers are compared to the first 2 full months of the Subaru Ascent last summer, they are better. The Ascent's sales figures for July and August of 2018 were 8,824 compared to the Telluride's 10,650, that about a 21% increase. I'm not saying the...

    Have you spot another Telluride in the wild yet?

    I saw one just over a month ago on Rt. 9 in central CT. That's the only one I've seen though. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

    Tires From Factory

    Let's see how the Michelins wear. They are definitely a very nice touring tire, however, in my experience, the tires that come stock on almost any new vehicle (Kia's included) are made with cheap rubber. As a result, these first sets might last 40k miles. I'm not sure if they will even last that...

    Do you think at some point Kia will discontinue the Sorento because of the Telluride?

    I think there needs to be some distinction between the two. Right now the price points are so similar that it makes the Telluride an obvious choice for many. However, the Sorento is one of Kia's best sellers and most recommended vehicles, so I don't see it going away. Sent from my SM-J320V...

    IIHS will be crash testing the Telluride tomorrow

    I called IIHS about 2 weeks ago. The representative I spoke to said the results most likely won't be published until late summer/early fall. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

    Do you consider the Telluride to be a luxury SUV?

    I actually agree with you to a point. It's no secret that many "luxury" vehicles are really just rebadged basic people movers and the result of some expensive marketing campaign. Manufacturers then mark up the price and walk to the bank with the higher margins. However, all that marketing...

    Do you consider the Telluride to be a luxury SUV?

    To me, there is more than just price tag when it comes to a luxury vehicle. The Telluride is off to a great start, but it's a Kia, not a luxury brand like BMW or Mercedes. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

    How's everyone's leather / leatherette seats holding up?

    I just put a deposit down on a S Trim with black "leatherette." I originally really wanted the grey, but I was convinced that the black was a better choice because over time it will wear better and not appear as dirty.

    Negotiation Tactics

    I always have dealers negotiate against each. Steps: 1. For the Telluride (not that I've signed any paper work yet) I started with 2 traditional dealers. Test drove the SUV, then got an OTD price including my trade. 2. I gave that written quote to a dealer that claims to give their "best...

    90 day wait for custom orders?

    I was told just yesterday by 2 different dealers, 2 months at most.

    IIHS will be crash testing the Telluride tomorrow

    I would love a sneak peak at the results. I'm about to pull the trigger, but am hesitant because I don't have any safety data.
