The Borrego surely ties with the Chrysler Aspen as the least-noticed SUV of the past decade. Since reviews were generally positive, we imagine that the slow sales of the Borrego were due to bad timing. Kia decided that the best time to debut a body-on-frame SUV was when buyers were flocking to subcompacts, hybrids and crossovers as gas prices first topped $3 a gallon. So few Borregos sold that Kia stopped importing them to the US for 2010, leaving the dealers with 2009 models. Though it continues in production in Korea as the Mohave, the Borrego joins the Rondo in being unceremoniously axed in 2010.
