Kia Sorento promises pleasant driving with hands-free infotainment system

Kia appeared at the Detroit auto show – not featuring a new product, but rather new technology. This new technology was a hands-free in-car infotainment system, called Uvo (meant to stand for “Your Voice”).  Based on Microsoft’s auto software platform, Uvo allows drivers to use voice commands to control their phone and music functions while on the road. Uvo also includes a USB port which enables drivers to store songs to 1 GB of memory, which Kia calls “the jukebox.” This newly offered technology is available with the 2011 Kia Sorento, making the new model even more valuable and interesting to consumers. Car shoppers can buy their Waukegan Kia Sorento at Waukegan cheap used car dealerships. Kia Sorentos can also be found at Gurnee used car dealerships, as well as other new and used car dealerships across the nation. … Continue Reading

Waukegan Kia Sorento will be produced at the new West Point plant in Georgia

Think back to the first time you watched the Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy hit down and landed in Oz, with all of the bright colors and singing and excitement. Now, think about if all of that excitement and merriment were over Kia, and you can kind of realize the situation in West Point Georgia.

Kia announced that they will be opening up a plant right in the heart of the little community that’s fallen on hard times.
