New Stinger Owner

Picked up a '22 AWD GT Elite suede edition last week, Always loved these cars sad they stopped making them. 50,000KM looks like new inside.

This will be my winter/do all car while the mustang sleeps. the Stinger reminds me very much of the CT5V I had prior to Mustang, alot of car for the money.

I bet KIA never expected anyone to compare the Stinger to a Cadillac. I sure didn't. Cool.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger! That really is impressive to see the Stinger reminds you of the CTS5-V! It really is sad that it only lasted a single generation. Kinda crazy...

Especially a V-Series Cadillac. Another reason I find it nuts that Kia didn't keep it going for another generation - especially considering the G70 is still being sold brand new in showrooms...

Yep, so weird but the thing is that whenever I see people in a parking lot and they see the car

they have no idea what to think of it, and have no clue what it is. Really though, the biggest

advertisement for the cars was YouTube when I think back to 2018 when it was released to the

public. However, I don't think KIA ever had any intention of doing anything after seeing the sales

numbers plummet and their own past dealer reputation probably killed this model and the fact

that, IMHO, Covid and political climates didn't help. So they went all in on EV's and the rest is

history. Maybe they bring it back in some form? Who knows.
