I like to think I've got my finger on the pulse of the auto market, but I didn't see the Kia Telluride coming. When Kia announced it, I wasn't sure of the point. Kia already had a car-based, three-row crossover in the stable. Why wasn’t the Sorento enough? Turns out the American appetite for family haulers is insatiable, as evidenced by the wild waiting lists for the Telluride. Kia's third three-row, the EV9, may be an even bigger hit.
