2009 Kia Mojave / Mesa / Borrego











Update: Okay, it's Borrego. I still wonder about a body-on-frame construction SUV in 2008. I'm sure they will sell a few, but it isn't a growing segment.

Some confusion on the name. We'd been working on the assumption of Mesa, but now some say that after a voting poll the name will be Mojave. Back in 2004 Kia did have a Mojave pickup concept back, so it is believable.

You have to wonder about the timing of such a behemoth. Two concept photos provided for comparison's sake, teaser shot of production version for reference and the Mojave concept just for kicks. The production model will debut in Detroit.
