    Do you agree...Stinger vs Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

    Alfa owners have long suffered for unreliable vehicles. It doesn't seem to have improved, sadly.

    GT2 shift-by-wire problem?

    To go back to D after using paddle shifters, either wait for it to revert, or pull the + paddle for a few seconds.

    Who would fly on a Boeing 737 MAX again?

    Boeing used to insist on the pilot having ultimate control of the aircraft. Since they went away from that with planes like the MAX, they've had problems...

    I messed up...

    Another good review...

    Kia owners are hardly unique in this. Goodness only knows how many Commodores I saw over the years with Chevy badges on them. And plenty of Japanese car owners change badging to reflect the JDM models of their cars. It's also very common for people to "up-badge" cars - making their cars look...

    Refreshes to the 2020 Kia Stinger?

    There have been a few references to the future of the Stinger being under a bit of a cloud. Here's one: https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/kia-stinger-facing-uncertain-future There's lots of conjecture though (in both the earlier article I linked to, and this one), and very little hard detail...

    Refreshes to the 2020 Kia Stinger?

    What was your fantasy car when you were growing up?

    Ferrari F40 Testarossa.

    Ford v Ferrari

    It looks really good!

    Dual Clutch Transmission

    I suspect you've hit the nail on the head here - the torque output is the reason they didn't use a DCT.
