Palm Kia

The Kia Sorrento has a lot going for it. An increasingly popular CUV, offering families first-rate amenities in a value package, it's been Kia Motor's best-selling car for 15 months.  It's the first vehicle Kia ever made in the U.S. And, it was the first Kia model to sell 10,000 units in a single month and 100,000 units in a single year.

Perhaps more compelling, however, is that fact…

Who do car buyers perennially turn to for ratings they know they can trust? ratings that often help shape their final decision? Consumer Reports.  Well, it's that time of year again, and the esteemed editors there have selected six new models for the Top Picks list for 2011. At the top, within the Family SUV category, you'll find Kia who is winning hearts worldwide with their all-new Sorrento.

This is quite the feat…
