I don't love the styling but the specs sound good. Watch it not be sold here.

Side and front 3/4 profiles are sooooo awkward.
Diesel definitely won't get sold here.

Why is NA so sparse on diesel options?
Consumer hesitancy? Diesel-gate leaving a bad taste in collective mouths?

Tasman ? Isn’t that a bit on the nose to name a car after a geographically area and or a group of native people (Tasmanians)
What’s next ? VW aryan ? BYD Ching Chong ? Rover Genocide with Smallpox Blanket 4x4 package ?
Hey Bob nice new car. What is that ?
A Tasman !!!
Uhhh that’s a bit racist. You’re riding around on an ethnic group ?
…. I wonder if I can get out of this 60 month lease at 12%

At least it's not given an unfortunate name like the Toyota ISIS.

Yes but the Toyota is is doesn't break down and keeps going  I'm still surprised how strong the Koreans are. You hear so many horror stories, recalls but some how people still want their cars? They don't seem cheap, so it's not like it's Nissan altimas.

while i think it's nice to not just be another bland and safe design
KIA's been doing the edgy thing too much, ever since they changed their logo into K|/|

New vehicles are so ugly, so that's not a surprise. Cool specs though. Does anyone even make compact pickups anymore?

Abel Tasman is officially recognised as the first European to 'discover' New Zealand in 1642. His men were the first Europeans to have a confirmed encounter with Māori.

I thought modern diesels are shit cuz of all the emissions and def stuff. And parts are $$$ + have to find a shop to touch it. Also unless you are driving like 100+ km a day there's no savings + cost of diesel is more than gas.
