I thought it looked pretty sharp for a KIA.

Looks like a small Totota pickup that got punched in the nose.

The body lines look pretty good (from one angle...), but those headlights are just bizzare. I don't think I could see myself in a Kia pickup.

THAT'S where I've seen those headlights before! In fact, the whole thing now looks eerily similar.

Wow, that just looks weird to me. I have to admit that I actually like the shape and stance, but that front end isn't doing it for me.

It looked pretty good from the side too, when I saw it yesterday.

I would like to see this truck from other angles, but right now I do not like the front. Not only the headlights, but the vents under the bumper below headlights also are weird.

The whole truck has more of a rounded shape, and the headlights would go more with a square look, IMO. If they redesigned the front to something more conservative and more current, I think this truck would score well.
