The stinger might replace my Grand Cherokee SRT if I like it how it drives. Unfortunately both Kia and hyundai dealerships are awful here and they maybe will have a test car in mid december but I heard the same thing about november already.

Welcome [MENTION=256]Piotr[/MENTION], how much does the Stinger sell for in Dubai?

Thank you. There is nothing official but I saw 170k - 175k AED (~47k USD) here and I assume this is the top of the line version. I think It's a really good price for what you get. In contrast I've got a quote from audi for s5 for 330k AED (~90k USD) and that still didn't include driver assistances because they are not available here and nappa leather because you can't combine that with ventilated seats.

That?s better than what we pay here for the GT2.

Another G8 owner, glad to have you bud! But please, do not get rid of the G8. It's a diamond in the rough, which I'm sure know already lol
Not a chance, hanging onto it in the hopes it can bolster my retirement in the future! All bundled up in the garage, only take it out occasionally for fun in order to keep the miles low...

I don't think I've seen a car cover as nice as that.

Looking at the Stinger as a possible replacement for my wife's Magnum RT.

Stinger will be replacing my M37 S with areo package. Test drove the Stinger and it will be a great upgrade.

Just wondering why the change? needed more space?
Size was one of the issues, but it was mainly due to my ongoing problems with the MMI.

The GT2 replaced my '15 turbo mustang. Leased the Stinger 12/14, returned the mustang the next day.

That was a LONG 38 months; it was a nice enough car but I never did really love it. I think I only kept it because I knew it would be expensive to terminate the lease early.

If I can actually find a GT2 in Snow White Pearl, I?ll be replacing a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman JCW ALL4.

Trying to decide between the GT1 in either Ceramic Silver or Snow White. Tough decision for me.

I?m currently own a 2014 Optima SXL. It?s got 85k miles on it and the Stinger looks to be a perfect step up in comfort and performance.

Btw, any opinions on White vs Ceramic? I?m all ears. Ha.

Hi OklaStinger,
I wonder what color is your Optima ? As you can see, I have a silver one, and it looks great. As long as that is not your current color, then I would go Ceramic Silver. I have ordered a GT2 in Deep Chroma Blue, but I believe you can't get that color in the US....shame!
