I notice the article does not make any reference to all wheel drive (AWD). AWD is available on other Kia vehicles and it would be a great help here as I live in a wintery and wet climate and believe that an AWD vehicle offers better traction and safety in such a climate. If Kia does not plan to offer AWD, it'd be nice to have an article as to why they have made this choice. I know that it adds weight and cost to the system but many folks want it. It's available in the Sienna and Pacifica.
