They would have been higher if Kia had made more units and dealers were not so shady. Will be interesting to see the April numbers and how Palisade launch will affect volume of the Telluride. IMHO, the Telluride is superior looks-wise to the Palisade.

More over Pallisade will be imported from Korea unlike Telluride so parts will be costlier and difficult to get. That might also keep people away.

they don't make parts for KIA in the USA, they import them from Korea. Or am I wrong?

I think the telly looks better but the pali will have available electronic gauges, electric folding 2nd and 3rd row seats...

Yes, some of the interior features are nicer, but the exterior looks of the Telluride surpass the Palisade. I saw a Palisade with manufacturers plates driving here in So Cal. a few weeks ago. It was debadged, but I knew what it was. The back end doesn't look too bad, but the front end looks downright fugly IMHO. But I'm sure that they will find their market.

The Palisade looks more like a wagon, which some people might like. It’s not my thing though.

My vote is for the Telly. Looks classier

I think the Telly is somewhat retro and has obvious "borrowed"design elements ( not a bad thing ) The Palli is modern and progressive and will take time to be fully appreciated in my opinion .....................I like it and applaud the bold design
