And, Bald Hill Kia, serving the greater Warwick area is certain it will look even better in person, when it's officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, in Germany.

Drivers who live in more urban areas don't necessarily need or want a super-fast or super-rugged car, at least not for everyday use. Such cars would be out of there element. And, you can forget about shoehorning your way into that token parking space where the person in front is parked too far back and the person behind - too far forward. Rather, city drivers who stay primarily within their municipality thrive with a certain, smaller breed of car. To make the best options more easily identifiable to car buyers, Cars.com assessed 50 vehicles deemed suitable for urban commuters…

We at Bald Hill Kia are pleased to announce that the best-selling Kia Sorento has just made a dramatic 10-point gain in ALG's 36-Month Residual Value Index. Now, the unassuming vehicle offers one of the highest residual value rankings among 2012 model year compact CUVs.

Kia credits the Sorento's notable jump to its dynamic pairing of class-leading horsepower (191 hp) and fuel economy (32 mpg/hwy). The now-available 2.4-liter engine, featuring Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) certainly doesn't hurt either.

"With gas prices above $4.00 per gallon in many parts of the country, fuel economy has…
