Hard to read the badge on the back, I think it’s called the Kia Mofugly.

Very interesting to a mini truck lover like me.

I think it's kinda cute. It's solving the problem of big and tall by smoothing out the cab. Not sure the nose really works, not much room for wheel travel.

The El Camino/Ranchero for a new era?

My big issue would be the tiny back seat. Really need reasonable accommodations for 4 adults.

Aside from that I’d be fine with the looks. I don’t mind driving fugly vehicles.

Not every truck needs to sacrifice bed for seats, tho.

Fugly rating is determined by cost.

I don't hate it. But it's not for me.

Totally. Might work as a second car for me. Be hard to give up the Model Y though and definitely can’t replace CT

Kinda reminds me of the Chevy SSR with all those curves, and size wise.

Looks Bad
Maybe it's the puke brown color or the lack of racing strips no bumper but if that is the best South Korean can do they are lost.

It's orange.

Wreck
I crash into a Kia SUV with a Honda SUV and it almost totaled the Honda. Changed my option of South Korean quality but I still do not like Kia.

It’s a render

Puke orange then? I'm definitely not a fan of the color.

Much of the time though I only need room for 2 adults, some room for baggage, and lots of room for nasty dirty bulky items. While still able to maneuver in tight spaces. Which is the main reason we still have the Nissan

Also the dogs love riding in the back but big cute fuzzballs that cant hold their licker. Its a great place for them after they went and played in the river.

Well, I like it. I have a guitar that color. It's sparkly gold. I kind of like the more orange tone...

If fully onboard with the color. Not my favorite, but way better than the sea of white black great and silver blandness which fills the roads today.

I’d be way happier with a nice green, but orange gets a solid B- as far as I’m concerned.

The body lines would bug me a lot more. It’s like someone took a modern Bug, and bolted the back of an el Camino onto it.

I had two Kia Sportages (small SUV) over the years and they were great little vehicles.
If Kia had offered a pickup truck back then I would probably been all in on one.
Kia had a plant in Montgomery, Alabama but moved it to West Point, GA.
That one shown is as ugly as a blind date. I'd give it a hard pass.
And as Elon is fond of saying............"prototypes are easy, production is hard."

I'm with DFW, I don't like the color of that truck either. On my computer monitor, I would call that color Watermelon or salmon. However, your guitar looks orange. And that truck would look better to me, if it was the color of your guitar.
