Not bad at all. Seems they went down in price in a few models...not a bad thing.

Can't wait till I see these on the road. Sucks they didn't have any open at the Toronto Autoshow. The SX they had there looked amazing though.

I was very impressed with the new Rondo. The Forte is very nice, but the Rondo is an amazing redesign when compared to the old model.

I believe its the light band below the headlights, you would have to see a 2013 and 2014 LX model on a lot to see the difference and don't have pictures yet to do that. These were a new feature added to the 2013 Sportage vs the 2012 model, check out the difference in that area on these two Sportage's
