The 2015 Kia Sedona quietly made its public debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show, ready to take up to eight passengers to the nearest Trader Joe’s after soccer practice.

Behind the tiger nose, Kia dropped in a 3.3-liter V6 pushing 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic.

Inside, up eight passengers can pile in depending on configuration, with third-row riders receiving 34.8 inches of legroom, second-row gaining 41.1 inches, and the parents enjoying 43.1 inches up front. Access to the third row is enabled by the Sedona’s Slide-n-Stow system in the second row, which also allows for increased storage room if needed.

Other features include auto-opening tailgate, surround-view monitoring, electronic stability control and ABS.

Bullnuke Honda didn't make an LX coupe in 1998. The only trim levels for the coupe were DX, HX and EX

  Yeah, Happycamper, you're right. It was a Civic EX IIRC (high-end model) green with a moonroof. Built right here in Ohio a few miles away. Some sort of Hondamatic slushbox for a tranny. Milled off reverse gear @ 8,820 miles. Honda zone manager said operator abuse (?), thus, no warranty coverage, and, don't bother with getting a lawyer to fight them. Cost me $2700 for a re-man transmission. I guess I was supposed to pull in forward everywhere and never back up. Saw the tranny taken apart - looked like a servo-shifted manual to me; the reverse gear appeared to be no more than a slightly rippled bushing. I was sorely tempted to catapult it, on fire, through the dealership showroom window.

For the money and overall longevity. This is the only option outside a Chrysler or Dodge mini van. And this Kia looks pretty damn good for a mini van.

Calrson Fan Jeff - Agree with what you said. I think currently an EV pick-up could work in a commercial/fleet application. As someone on this site stated, w/current tech. battery vehicles just do not scale well. EBFlex - No one wanted to hate the Cyber Truck more than me but I can't ignore all the new technology and innovative thinking that went into it. There is a lot I like about it. GM, Ford & Ram should incorporate some it's design cues into their ICE trucks.
Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
