It may just be the PacNW, in that the weather until the past few days has been horrible, or any number of factors, but the Stinger sales seem to have slowed a wee bit around my woods... Here's to looking forward to better Leash Cash and captive financing deals coming for May - June!

I hear ya. The loaded Stingers (i.g. Canada Stingers) are ? by a few thousand dollars ? less. Add in the currency exchange were $1 USD gets you $1.28 Canadian, and wow, the U.S. Stinger with fewer new tech features is quite expensive. NOTE: It cannot be tariffs either. I looked into that. It...

For a car, debt? Right now we have zero debt. Nodda... For a car, we max around $11k for a loan. We then pay it off in about 2-3 years and save. So yah, a small car loan at like .9% (free money basically), so yah. Small debt for the car.

Wow. That's amazing. Well, your friends either: A. Have money B. Are willing to go into debt or C. All of the above. I'm guessing B, and this made sense for them. That's really cool. As for me and my family? 3 kids, with scrambling to save for college funds for all of them, along with all...

Technically I'm not waiting for "new" features, rather, I'm still saving. What I want to see if if Kia - like Mazda has done of late - changes their configurations. i.g. I own a 2014 Mazda6 Touring w/Tech package. Today, most all of those tech package features are now standard in the Touring...

Rock on! And while you are at it, can you possibly get any closer to the TX/OK boarder?! Hopefully it doesn't get as hot as Mc Allen, TX or places further south - melt those summer tires! ; )

I have seen two. ? Early December, I was shocked to see one parked at a local grocery store. I talked to the owner for quite a while about it, as I was just starting to get to know the car a bit online. He owned Honda Accord V6's loaded all the time. He couldn't believe he picked this up...

Okay, first of all, you shouldn't know how addictive heroin is! LOL! Secondly, I'm a cheap skate, so if it costs too much it may - at best - be a one-time B-Day gift type of a situation... But I'll keep the heroin analogy in mind! ; )

Technology in these cars has sure put a pinch on the aftermarket repair guys that's for sure. The dealers have big advantages now-a-days in the repair business. Which begs an obvious question: Which is more expensive to replace, a BMW water pump or a Kia's?...

Materials-wise, one car to the next isn't massively different, especially when in the same size-range-class we are talking about. Steel is a world-wide commodity like oil. To build a massively quality interior vs a Camry, costs maybe $300 more. That's about it! We can also measure R&D costs...

Kia has won JD Powers & Associates Initial Quality Award two-years running. That certainly speaks to Kia paying attention to the build quality and defects coming off the line. It does not speak to the component sourcing, tooling or engineering and the long-term reliability. But if you are...

I'm close to being in the same boat also - I don't have one yet, so I can't turn it off.[wink]

Great stuff! I've never driven on a track before, but I'm thinking about checking into some training and seeing what i can learn at PIR (Portland Int Raceway).

I'm pretty close to a Libertarian, but not quite. When others could be greatly effected by my actions - especially on the road - I draw lines. I wasn't always this way. In my youth I drove recklessly at times, and could have put others in danger, but I always justified how great a driver I was...

Racing others off a start has always seemed kinda odd to me... If a Honda accord pulls up, you're gonna win. Corolla? Uh yah. No need to even race. ON the flip side, if a Model S pulls up, you're going to lose - you know that. So again, why race to lose? I guess I don't get it. And should...

I can only think that, hey, you are reacting to what he just did. That's .5 seconds right there and forever more are going to be trailing. Not sure what the quarter miles speeds are between A4 and Stinger, but if the A4 has a slight advantage there, you were going to see some fade. Would have...

I would certainly hope so! [:)] That said, for anyone, Jan/Feb were the same numbers (Kia made Jan/Feb as one sheet). They also did so for March/April, so the same lease and cash deals apply. According to some people, don't expect huge changes, just some minor tweaks to loan % rates, or Lease...

Nor should you! Congrats!!!

FuzzyHat, See that's just called "reliving your childhood" Ha! But of course, that phrase actually makes little sense, because when a child, A. you didn't care about cars and B. Didn't ever drive one... So what on earth are you "reliving?" ; ) CONGRATS!!!

Well said swrocket!
