<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/kia/">Kia</a> is setting up the streamers and the champagne is on ice. The 100,000th <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/sorento">Sorento</a> crossover just went home with a new owner and it marks the first U.S.-built Kia vehicle to pass that milestone. For the past 11 months, the Sorento has been the brand's sales leader and it was only a matter of time before 100,000 of the crossovers took up residence in American driveways.<br />
<br />
The Kia Sorento is built at Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, which is located in city of West Point. It <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/31/kia-confirms-hyundai-santa-fe-to-be-produced-alongside-sorento/">shares the facility with the Hyundai Sante Fe</a>. KMMG has an annual capacity of 300,000 units so perhaps the 100,000th sale is just the beginning of many more Sorento sales for the United States.<br />
