• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Kia Telluride hitting the lot in Nicholasville, KY

🤖 AI Summary

No AI summary has been generated for this thread yet.
Very nice. Great color. Great wheels. That's what mine would look like if I owned a Sorento...
Some recent badge changes I did. I only found one seller of these on ebay. Genesis wings with Sorento R in the middle. Full kit included front and rear badges, steering wheel badge, and wheel caps! Hoping I find something new for the Telluride although it's already across the hood and the rear. I will be replacing the Kia badges.

I wonder how difficult it would be to remove the " T E L L U R I D E " from the front hood. Not a fan of how that looks and suspicious of how it will wear over time.
 
We have two local Kia dealerships. The smaller one uses a regular real chat and the larger one has the annoying chat that's outsourced liked mentioned above that does nothing but ask for your contact details whether you use their website or Facebook Messenger. This dealership with the annoy chat has already turned me off before with another one of their promotions. I guess some businesses never learn they're supposed to serve the customer, not themselves.
I can help @syadasti! If you have questions just ask here.

Thanks. I was just contacting both dealers for ETA so I could test drive one, very simple question. Since you're not local I'm not sure you can do anything. Both dealers are getting them mid March.

I know Kia is trying to break into the luxury market. I assume they are trying to make a statement with the Telluride. A lot of Stinger buyers took their Kia badges off and replaced them with the cursive like Stinger badge. Most lower models have indentations where the Kia badge goes they made it smooth on the Stinger. Knowing the customer might want replace it maybe?
 
Welcome! Tell us more. What colors do you have?
I'll check in with colors. I really like the Dark Moss! They did a similar color several years back in the Kia Soul (Not Alien Green) that was very popular.

They just look like regular stick-on letters. They should be easy enough to remove...
 
The Telluride made it today! We have 3 out of 4 trims in S, EX, and SX. I was working 2 customers so I will take pictures, do a walk around, and take you on a test drive tomorrow!

Just saw a dealer kind of close to my area, between MIAMI and West Palm Beach. It has also the SX Prestige, $46910 msrp, wondering if they would go off the msrp. I do have loyalty with Kia and a couple extras, most probably most of us will need to wait til March to get the lease offers and deals for this model.

When the Forte was redesigned it took about 6 months to actually have rebates and lease incentives. I would assume this will be the same situation but may be longer. Demand is very high. Only time will tell...

The reason it's flat on the Stinger is cause the Korean models have the "Stinger" script installed from the factory. We have the same hatch with holes drilled for the badge. Remove the badge and you have the holes which can easily be covered by the script.
