Kia Borrego

The all-new 2009 Kia Borrego midsize SUV, unveiled recently at NAIAS in Detroit, will be the first Kia vehicle to have Sirius Satellite Radio as factory standard equipment. Set to go on sale this summer as a 2009 model, the Borrego also houses Kia's first-ever V8 engine, making it the most powerful Kia vehicle to date.

Sirius and Kia announced a partnership 20-months ago that runs through 2014. There's also an optional extension to 2017.

Alongside Sirius, the Borrego also comes standard with USB/iPod capabilities powered by a 600- watt Infinity audio system. Each Borrego will come with three months of free Sirius service.

Sirius is scheduled to become a standard feature in all 2009 model year Kia vehicles.

And the styling is even derivative of Chrysler...

My wife bought a car with Sirius installed about a year ago. I t came with a 3-month subscription. After the three months she declined to pick it up. Sirius calls our house twice a week asking for a "renewal"

ps The Sirius unit is still fully functional, more tan 8 months after the "subscription" ran out. My guess that most of their "subscribers" fall into this category.
