That makes perfect sense, considering the G8, Holden contract and everything else you've described. I've seen a total of 3 SS's on the road and were I not a minor car enthusiast I would have mistaken them for a previous generation Malibu. Still sad to see a platform like that gone, especially...

I hear you... Wasn't trying to sound whiny about it, but I was a bit bummed to hear about the paint issues, especially since I love my blue so much. And I do applaud Kia for going 'all-in' and making a car that I absolutely love, and I'm willing to put up with growing pains as long as Kia is...

Engine related recalls? This just keeps getting worse. I see a lot of people on the Kia Stinger Owners group on FaceBook are putting in claims for the paint issue to Kia... I have a micro blue 2.0T AWD and haven't noticed any chips yet. However, I've only owned the car for a little under 3...

Happy to see these numbers. When I was shopping part of me was concerned that the Stinger may end up like the Chevrolet SS and have production stopped after only a few years due to poor sales. The more Stingers on the roads, the better! :)

Thanks for the input! Sorry for the confusion, I just wanted to know what all was necessary for adding the chip to get more power. I don't want to 'half-ass' anything regarding this car and I'd rather ask questions than make a costly mistake. Appreciate the help! [:)]

Everyone, My 2.0T is the first car I've owned with a turbocharger. I've been doing some research and am looking into adding a LAP3 chip and the recommended aftermarket plugs... with that being said, what other equipment would I need to add? Would BoV's be necessary for only adding the chip? Are...

Looks like no gift for me, but I'm okay with that seeing as the Stinger is selling decently enough to warrant continued production for a few years.

Picked up a chest of drawers from a neighbor, fit no problem in the back. Took family to dinner at the local Mexican restaraunt in record time. Got groceries. Laughed at a V-6 Challenger that revved up beside me at a stop light.

I don't know if this was already specified somewhere, but are the gifts for ALL Stinger owners or only those who purchased the GT trims?

I sent out emails to pretty much every Kia dealer within a 75 mile radius asking for quotes/information. All of them except one were more than happy to oblige my request... needless to say, the one dealer who didn't is known for extremely annoying commercials and high pressure tactics. If you...

Hello from Tampa! Micro Blue AWD 2.0, haven't seen any other Stingers on the road yet.

The hunt is over, I bought my Stinger this past Saturday! Micro Blue, AWD with Drive Wise, $36, 250 out the door. Absolutely love it, has been a blast these past two days with all the rain and thunderstorms. Will post pictures when no on a work computer. [biggrin][driving]

Seeing as the end of May is approaching, I was curios whether Kia will be doing any nationwide savings events for Memorial Day? Do any of you fine Kia dealers have an idea? Thanks.

There is a Sunburst GT at Regal Kia in Lakeland, Florida, for those who may be interested.

I did. The actual dealer quote came back at 38,954. I asked if they would be willing to take 37450 (looking to negotiate, start low and compromise and all of that). They replied that their margin on the Stinger was too small, and I replied that I knew the invoice price and that dealers don't...
