Just look at what's available or coming soon...

First company on my list above,

BMW: New 2 series released last year. New 4 series released last year. New 7 series released last year. New 5 series being released next year. The 3, 8, and Z are still for sale.

Audi: Etron GT released last year. New 3 released two years ago. New 4/5 to be released later this year. New 6 to be released later this year. The 7, 8, TT, and R8 are still for sale.

That's 16 sedans or coupes from just the first two manufacturers I mentioned. And I didn't even count the sub-variants of each (S4, RS7, M3, I7, M5, etc). Those two manufacturers alone will be producing over 30 sedans and coupes into next year.

True that but there is a significant downsizing of engines with some brands..eg Mercedes new C63 AMG with a 4 cylinder 2 litre….that is sacrilage.

Some more info on the Tribute Edition. Exclusive Stinger Tribute Edition celebrates Kia's high-performance vision

oh holy moly... that looks awesome. i cant tell whats different about the interior in the tribute addition. is there somewhere to find exactly what all is different. i wonder do you have to order one of these since theres only going to be 1k. i cant imagine the dealerships getting any of these.

only 400 to the US, I read. first ordered first delivered I imagine, so the dealerships that are going to get any already know.

Another missed opportunity by Kia. Car should have imo

400hp/400tq
All trim in gloss black
Silver colored calipers to match car
Green colored calipers to match Ascot green color
Ascot green should be offered in matte finish
Rear lip spoiler
Functional hood scoops/heat extractors

Kinda crazy that none of these "special edition" cars Scorpion, GTS, grand tourer have matching trim. Either do all gloss black or all carbon fiber. How can they do all black chrome on all the regular cars but totally mix/match on those models?

i agree, i watched more videos and it's kind of not very impressive for a tribute edition. black wheels with black calipers, not real carbon fiber just a film, the suede is just kind of strange on the ceiling, i do like the stinger emblem on the seat. no spoiler.

On the other hand, they'll be lighter, faster, and better on fuel economy. They just won't sound good. I don't think they ever had a chance of making a C63 sound better than it did a few years ago anyway.
