Kia Sedona
Even though minivan sales are way down, Kia is sticking to its guns with the Sedona. In fact, as many automakers are coming up with original exterior designs or special functionalities, Kia is hedging its bets with the sedate yet efficient Sedona. Thanks to its engine (a 3.5L V6) and transmission (6-speed automatic) which were revamped last year, this vehicle is holding its own. The 2012 model may be replaced next year.
