Then so is the Pathfinder, the Cherokee and other heavier duty SUVs.  While most people would shy away from the Sorento as it is not a lighter CUV desired by many, it fills a purpose for some.

Like the car in white, though.  Reminds me of a Volvo for some reason.

Very nice looking SUV. But for the price, I'd rather get something else (used 4Runner).

I think the design is still relevant, but it is getting 'mature' for sure.

I thought the Pathfinders' design is all-new?

Sorento still looks fresh. Working for Lexus so.... With two motors to choose from they might be adding even more buyers. The improvements should make it better all around.

When I mentioned the Pathfinder et al, I was referring to the vehicle type (truck-based vs car-based) and not the look of it.  As far as the look goes, it's not that far off the curve, although the front could have used a slight freshening up.
