If I wasn't trying to run my current car into the ground, I'd probably go for one of these. I know a few people in my town who have them and love them! I just plan on keeping my Optima for as long as possible.
Hyundai used to be junk and now they are pretty good. Its only a matter of time KIA crosses the line. Is it this car? Someone else can be the guinea pig.
its sister car, genesis g70 is nice too. basically the same car but lighter because not a 5-door.
Shame all the kia dealers are shit. I'm not gonna pay over msrp for a kia. Don't pretend the stinger is a focus RS or civic type R...

Saw one driving around maybe and thought it looked pretty nice, actually. Kia and Hyundai have come a long, long way.
Hoping that one of these is like 10-15k with lowish mileage in a few years with the twin turbo v6.
What are you talking about? Kia has come a long long way. Current Kia cars are way way better than most American cars.
The only Stinger worth getting would be the GT, which is typically $40K+ sitting on the lot. That's a fair bit of change for a Kia. Not hating - it's a fine looking vehicle and they have as solid warranty. But a lot of cars are purchased on brand status - either as a luxury brand or an "AMERICAN CAR" or "German," or reliable or performance or whatever. You buy this, and as silly as it is, you'll always have people seeing it as nothing more than a "Kia."
If that doesn't bother you, though - then yeah, cool car. Would be easy to have a blast in (though I think it should offer a manual).

That hasn't been true in YEARS. Way to forward a false narrative.
I owned a Hyundai before (Kia's parent company). I won't be buying anything from that company again.
Right, I'm thinking not a ton of them will sell and the resale on them will be complete shit. Not rare enough to increase value but just a wtf is even a sports sedan Kia. Once my VW is paid off in a couple years I plan on grabbing one if the resale is terrible as I expect.
With just the 2.0 turbo it makes zero sense to buy it, as there are a ton of more established options for far less money. If they priced the twin turbo 6 at 30k with a super base trim, they'd have a winner.
The MPG is comparable to other luxury cars in the same class.

All of that is overpriced.
You can buy a 330i for less than 35k, or a cheap lease on one. No one in their right mind would go with the Kia instead. Or a gti for 25k.

Literally the entire point of this car is to counteract this attitude, lol
Ahhh. They don't have base Stinger in Canada, just GT. Weird...The MPG is comparable to other luxury cars in the same class.

They will need a lot more than a powerful car to reverse a decade of shoddy vehicles.

$52 grand on a Kia is insane to me. I'd be willing to bet even well-optioned out, those still come in under MSRP in the high 40s instead. I can't imagine they could sell at MSRP+.
Also, I've literally never owned a vehicle that comes close to those MPGs - so that didn't strike me at all.
lol full disclosure: my dad owned a Kia in the 90's. It was addled with problems. Biggest one being the engine turning off while driving in the middle of the road because of carburetor problem that no one could fix. Fun times. But currently I drive Honda and have a Tesla Model 3 reserved.
My next car is the new Kia Forte 2019. The release date is in around 2 months. Already have the money, just waiting for it.
