New Kia Sportage Compact SUV: Spied - or Not?

Sometimes, unless you receive additional information from a reliable inside source, you can't be 100 percent sure of what's hiding under a heavily camouflaged prototype. This seems to be the case with Kia-World's latest spy photos that allegedly show the next generation Kia Sportage compact SUV, said to be officially unveiled in early 2010. By comparing the shape of the side-window line, we've eliminated the possibility of it being a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe or a 2010 Kia Sorento (the most obvious alternatives), but whether or not it's actually the 2010 Kia Sportage, is something that we cannot answer with absolute certainty (talk about playing it safe...). Now that we've filled your mind with doubts, feel free to check the photos after the jump.
