Not bad. Much sexier than the current one, though I get a sense of RAV4 in the profile. I like the interior for the most part. The jury is still out on those large Fordish air vents.

It doesn't take a genius to see that's a luxury Sorento

Benz is losing their position fast. It's too easy to copy their "style" and outdo them on everything else.

Where is gear selector????? Yes this interior may look a little like other cars, but it still looks many many times better than those.

Actually, it the other way around. The majority of the Korean brands are taking from others and mashing them into their own. Sorento is a mash with Lexus and MB.

You're right on that. And the Accord Coupe taillights? Mimic city. Honda taillights should be thin and straight across, not triangular.

I see a little of the current RAV4 styling in the doors.

the gear selector is like the one on the current 7 series...it is the small knob on the right side of the steering wheel. Again, like the 7 series....pretty cool, not very "Expensive looking" i like the rear, and the front looks unfinished....

the grille is pretty ugly, but overall i think it looks better than the last one, and alot less minivan-ish.

Points for better looking rear and less overall minivanish look as others have said. On the other hand, the interior did poorly in the originality dept. and had deductions for those ugly handles on the center console... wtf are they for, anyway? I can't imagine a situation where the pasenger, MUCH LESS the DRIVER, would need to grab onto those stupid handles?!!?! http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Overall: D- in the luxury unsporty utility-lacking vehicle category.
