I know, not a good Stinger :(, I liked Steve, he always seemed like he had a big overdose of ADHD or an energetic kid that never grew up in an adult body.

Ok, bro. I'll do my solid best not to offend you.

1) I posted the 2 interiors that you claim are so much alike. What exactly do they share? Are the general shapes of the dash alike? NO. Inlays? No. Climate/Audio Controls? No. Vents? No. Shifters? No. Center consoles? No. Cup holders? No. Please help me see what you (and others) see.

2) Go out to your car and start feeling around the interior. Tap on some of the plastics around the car. Under your steering wheel. On the door. Center console. Notice how they sound pretty hard and hollow? Yeah. Audi S7's don't have that. Every touch material in them are pretty nice...and they should be. They're an expensive car. But, I'm not the one who compared them to each other. You did.

3) You are right about 1 thing, though. The 2 main guys who designed the Stinger (Peter Schreyer and Gregory Guillaume) did in fact come from Audi...in 2005 & 2006 respectivley. They've been at Kia for the last 14 years. Not like either of them were around for the beginning of the C7 chassis (2012).

4) Again, I'm sorry I don't take a lot of pics. I added a snap of my window sticker. If that doesn't suffice I can take any pic of the car you'd like. Just let me know.

I'll just add 1 more time; I DO LIKE MY STINGER. I'M NOT BASHING IT OR "TALKING NONSENSE" ABOUT IT. But comparing them to cars that they shouldn't be compared to gets ridiculous after a while.
Have a great day, brotha!

Don't, I said most :)

You aren't wrong tho. The stereotype as a WRX owner is part of the reason I didn't want to be a WRX owner anymore.

This guys sums up how i feel about most of the WRX drivers I've come across so far, this mornings latest was some assclown on my ass wearing sunglasses a flat brimmed hat and wearing a hoodie like Beavis.......they always want to race no matter the traffic....LOL

I'm a WRX fan, I actually looked at them before I chose the Stinger. Although I since have determined I was more a fan of my mom's '02 bug eyed WRX wagon, maybe just nostalgia. Want to know the funny thing? It's kind of hard to find a used newer one, but we have one of those salvaged title dealers a ways from my house, they had at least 10 of them there and they always do. It's far and away the easiest place to find them. I guess WRX owners have a habit of wrecking their cars.

I looked at them too, wanted something awd, realized I was to old plus most if not all are standard
I believe they are the most pulled over and ticketed car in the US too.

I was disappointed in the way the car felt, it just didn't feel as quick to me as I was expecting. Still a good car and brand though, certainly wouldn't knock anyone for buying a Subie.

I always thought that the designers took a lot of "heavy inspiration" from the Mercedes C-class. Just look at that center stack and vents.

I'm just glad they didn't include the seemingly mandatory luxury trope of an analog clock in the dash. :thumbup:

That's because the Stinger isn't a luxury car.

Kia isn't above the idea of installing an analog clock in their luxury cars, as evidenced by the Cadenza and K900.

Close; they gave us the digital analog clock instead:

Two more V8s added to the tally. So apparently there is now a Camaro model with the V8 from the SS, but with the appearance of the base model. When I rolled up on one at a red, naturally I ignored it thinking it was the turbo or V6; figured out pretty quickly it was the 6.2 though, from the exhaust roar after he nailed it when the light turned green.

There was no way to catch him but I know the area and figured he'd get stopped at the next light, which he did. I reached the light right as it turned green, but I held back a bit wanting to give him a chance to get moving. He nailed it again and soon as we were even I nailed it too. We were side by side for a moment but I shifted and pulled ahead enough to see nothing but LED headlights in my side mirror.

Not even ten minutes later another Camaro pulls up, this time an actual SS, with windows down and music absolutely blasting. I buried the pedal when the light turned green, not necessarily wanting to race but out of annoyance at the loud ass music and just wanting to get away from him. I heard him take off hard too, heard his engine and exhaust roaring, but he stayed in my blindspot until I let off for the next light, where he takes the exit and does a u-turn under the highway.

Yep, Chevy is shoving the LT1 in base model-spec Camaros and calling it the Camaro LT1. From what I see you're basically getting the engine and pretty much none of the other performance stuff of the SS trims, and a lot of the interior stuff is either not available or is an option when it may have been standard on the 1SS/2SS.

Even without the inevitable discounts, it sounds like a performance bargain. Cheapest way to get 455 hp right off the delivery truck.
