    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    The Fuel Grade Poll

    FWIW, I've tested the car one week using 87, the next 93, then back to 87, back to 93 for about 4 weeks now, making sure to get 4he car as close to empty as possible each time. I haven't noticed any difference in power between the two, although most of my driving is to city driving mot much...

    Kia Stinger Age Demographics

    I've been a car nut since I was 14. Ok, I started driving only at 17. But I haven't outgrown the car nuttiness yet at 45. Don't think I ever will. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    New BMW looks strangely familiar or is it just me?

    I've definitely noticed that, and of course Kia made this a fastback. The interior is also a copy of a range of other interiors. But not every fastback looks the same despite their similarities, and the BMW M8 Concept looks a lot like the Stinger from almost every angle. As a test, I showed my...

    How many people have received a thumbs up from other drivers on the road?

    I keep getting thumbs up, almost daily. Also a lot of people asking me what it is. Just getting more frequent since I first responded. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    New BMW looks strangely familiar or is it just me?

    I can't speak highly enough of the Stinger. I've driven lots of cars before, from VW GTI, Golf R, BMW 330i (F92), E46 M3, Infiniti G35, Infiniti M45x. This beats all of them except at 80% or above in terms of track driving. Since I don't ever use that last 20%, I couldn't care. Plus it's by far...

    New BMW looks strangely familiar or is it just me?

    Never driven one. BMW purists seem to have shrugged it off as too much of a GT. But I like GTs and love the shape of the 8 series. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Or a mint condition E39 M5. But good luck finding one. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    New BMW looks strangely familiar or is it just me?

    I've driven several recent BMWs, and outside of the 2 series, they've all gone pretty soft. Their steering is really not well done and artificial. Personally I find the Stinger far more engaging (in Sport mode). Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    New BMW looks strangely familiar or is it just me?

    For what it's worth, Schreyer was Audi's lead interior designer. But yeah, he designed the exterior and interior of the Stinger. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    I prefer the BMWs looks, but the similarities seen side by side are pretty amazing. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    New BMW looks strangely familiar or is it just me?

    BMW is launching a competitor to the Porsche Panamera and Audi Q7. I looked at the pics and thought it looks remarkably similar to a car I happen to own... Is it just me...

    Kia Stinger Age Demographics

    Two things 1. You really had to be in Sports mode to get it to feel fast off the line, and I miss rear wheel drive or RWD biased cars. Buy more importantly: 2. If you've got Netflix, watch episode 1 of "Dirty Money". VW crossed the line for me when I saw the full story of Dieselgate, including...

    New OEM GT AWD Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires for sale. Full set for $450 plus shipping

    I've changed my tires on my GT2 from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Summer performance tires to Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ performance all-seasons. I plan to keep those on all year round, so am selling the wheels it came with. I used them for less than 140 miles. These are the staggered 19" tires...

    Hi from Gaithersburg MD/DC Metro

    Hi Folks: I got my black GT2 last weekend, and so far am loving it. Outside of being a car and gadget nut, I'm a technical focused exec at a Cyber Security software company. I spend my free time with my wife and daughter mostly, reading about or watching YouTube videos about cars and...
