I will be interested in what their spin of a Dual Cab will be if they make from off the Hyudnai. If they base the styling off the Telluride it could look awesome.

Speaking of Telluride why isn't it sold here. What is it with the USA not wanting to export LHD. I think it would sell well here.

Kia can't make a commercial van. They aren't allowed to. When Hyundai were forced by the Korean Government to buy out Kia. The agreement between the brands was that Hyundai would take Kia's Light Commerical Van (which they were missing in their line up) and Kia would be no longer able to sell it. That why the Pregio (Based off the Mazda/Ford Econovan) retired and why Hyundai have the iLoad (which is a de-specced version of the older VQ Kia Carnival)

With regards to the Kia Ute, it's in the works.

With regards to Telluride, being an American led project (Built in the Kia Georgia Factory) - it just wasn't developed for the RHD market.
