Far as I'm concerned, it's still a flaw if you need a special connector. Most cars will connect quite easily with nothing but the connector that came with the Nano. Kia includes the necessary cable for connecting your iPod, Nano, etc, so I am not sure why it's a big deal?

Ford's don't rust? Man it seems like just a few years ago Ford was taking all kinds of heat for using recycled metal in their cause which seemed to accelerate the rusting process. Anyone with an 80s era Crown Vic can probably attest. FoundOnRoad DeadFixOrRepairDailyIn all seriousness I'd like to see a review of the new Explorer asap - my sister is looking real hard at a Sorento right now and I'm encouraging it. I like the idea that the warranty is much better but Ford has been coming on hugely strong for about the last 2 years.
Having recently joined the half-century club , I have to say that I find the red dash lighting on black background much more difficult to focus on than bright white lighting. I really notice it in my wife's EOS. I wish manufacturers would stick to white or even blue dash lighting. Not ready to wear bi-focals yet!! Probably annoying enough that I would have to pass on the Sorento next fall when I replace the Accord. Hopefully the new Santa Fe next fall will stick to white/blue dash lighting. Anyone else have an issue with red lighting? Just curious. Maybe it's just me!
You forgot the Mazda 3s allegedly still rusting away; there is a thread somewhere about it. I just saw 2 new Sorento in dark colour, one in front of a Santa Fe. I have to say now IMHO Sorento is the best new design among CUV/SUV of any price tag. I now wonder if the Sorento SX will be making it across the border. It's front end looks a bit sportier and it now comes with different DFD shocks which will be standard on the other models later.

I'm wondering if DKaz doesn't have a good point (well actually it is a very good point) with regards to people not looking after their cars. For the record I've got some rust forming at the bottom of my tailgate on my Tucson. With the exception of last winter it would get washed usually once a week - two at the most. Interesting point though - its been garaged every winter since I've owned it but we always back into the garage - I'm wondering if thats not causing the water to pool against the tailgate instead of running off the rear bumper (garage floor is sloped slightly for drainage).
