When asked if the rumors were true about the demise of Kia's Rondo in the U.S. market, the Korean auto giant responded with the usual obscurities that reaffirmed our suspicion that the Rondo is cut. Looking at sales figures from the last year, the Rondo was Kia's third slowest seller just behind the full-sized Borrego SUV and the faux-luxe Amanti sedan. Oddly enough, the website of Kia Canada doesn't indicate the absence of the Rondo, leading us to believe that the Rondo is still alive and well next door.

If you're still interested in getting a Rondo in the U.S., fear not for there are massive incentives that remain active on the 2009 model.
