Out of curiosity, I browsed local inventory to see how badly the insanity has hit my area. Identically equipped Palisades are easier to find and sell for 25% less. My local Hyundai dealer will let me look at the Palisade window sticker online, the Kia dealer will not.

I just can't sometimes. Palisades are inflated like the rest of the market, but nothing like the Telluride.

One day these idiots are going to notice that their neighbor's Hyundai is a carbon copy of their overpriced Kia, except the neighbor can also afford a boat to tow behind it. But hey, you made it buddy. There's a Kia in your driveway.
Hyundai gives complimentary maintenance too which the Kia doesn't, also they have the new Calligraphy trim for an almost luxury interior experience. The Palisade isn't as good looking and I'm guessing that's what's really holding people back.
