A friend posted this and I cannot figure out what it is. I first thought, Saab 9-4X based on the headlight corner and what little you can see of the grille. But nope, all the details are wrong. WTF is it? Yes, I could just ask but this is more fun.

In a way the one you posted is two generations old. The mid-cycle refresh changed 80% of the car, which basically makes it a new generation. It’s on a completely different platform.

I forgot about that. It’s almost impressive that they built a whole new car that looks just like the old one.

I had a 2008 SAAB 9-3 2.8T Aero and whenever I see a Sorento I think of it and cry a little :)

For real. What surprises me more was that they did a full redesign for 2016. Seems like a waste of money for kia.

This is what makes google image searching for cars like this next-t0-impossible. Hence the stupid question posed here.

That’s basically it. I wondered what it was, then tried googling... nothing. I knew I’d have an answer here in about 2 seconds, and then feel stupid.
