<br />With the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/27/tahoe-yukon-and-escalade-not-being-replaced/">Escalade</a> on the ropes, it looks like Kia might step in to rescue all those lovers of blacked-out blinged-up chromed-out big-wheeled SUVs. The metallic black Borrego Limited Concept that debuted at SEMA today gets chrome exterior mirrors, chrome upper and lower grilles, chrome door handles, a chrome rear bumper insert, and "flashy 22-inch Avarus chrome wheels." Inside it gets (faux) alligator skin. That's right. A Kia Borrego with (faux) alligator skin. And what good is a (faux) alligator without a TV and a DVD player to complete that "assertive and sophisticated stance fit for a motorcade as much as cruising down the Vegas strip." True, this would be generic medication compared to the Escalade's real deal, but it'll be much cheaper and probably still get the job done. Maybe. But watch out for the side effects. Have a look at the not-quite-reptilian Borrego in the gallery of high-res photos below. Oh, and for the record, the Soul will be officially revealed on the 19th, at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/LA-Auto-Show/">LA Auto Show</a>.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-sema-concept/">2008 SEMA: Kia Borrego Limited Concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-sema-concept/1137565/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/01kia_borr_limsem_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-sema-concept/1137569/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/02kia_borr_limsem_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-sema-concept/1137568/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/03kia_borr_limsem_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-sema-concept/1137570/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/04kia_borr_limsem_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-sema-concept/1137571/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/05kia_borr_limsem_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-concept/">Kia Borrego Limited Concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-concept/1137998/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/00_borregolimited_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-concept/1138003/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/01_borregolimited_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-concept/1137991/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/02_borregolimited_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-concept/1138013/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/03_borregolimited_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-borrego-limited-concept/1137994/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/04_borregolimited_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/04/sema-2008-kia-borrego-limited-concept-does-its-best-escalade-im/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>SEMA 2008: Kia Borrego Limited Concept does its best Escalade impression</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/04/sema-2008-kia-borrego-limited-concept-does-its-best-escalade-im/">SEMA 2008: Kia Borrego Limited Concept does its best Escalade impression</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:17:00 EST.
