Re: New Badging With NF
I certainly can understand the frustration that people ordered something and are now going to be getting something different than what they expected.
That said, the NF package really is defined by Kia. They don't specifically call it the blackout package. Really, they're not promising a total blackout, it's Nightfall. There's still some light at nightfall. The trim isn't black, it's darkened, etc.
I remember Explorer sports getting blackout accents but still had brushed aluminum wheels. They gave themselves some wiggle room. Now, if you're going to call it the Black Edition like they do on the Pilot, you'd better bring the black.
Having said all that, I do not like the tailgate design with the changes. I can stomach the new logo on the front. The new logo definitely fits better with the design aesthetics of the new models like
Sorento and K5 imo. Telly doesn't have the body to pull off that style of logo. Of course, I don't think it has the body to pull off wolf gray either. But that's just my opinion.
