Detroit 2008 Preview: Kia To Name New SUV Borrego



Kia named its newproduction body-on-frame SUV Borrego, which born from the 2005 Mesa concept. The car will be offered with V6 or V8 power. Borrego's grill looks similar to the one on Subaru Tribeca.

The name of Borrego comes from the Anza- Borrego Desert State Park in California. Unfortunately for Kia, in Spanish, "borrego" roughly translates to "lamb" or "sheep". So its name doesn't help to conjure up a tough image for a new SUV.

The car will be unveiled in January at Detroit.
