2020 Stinger GT

In 2019? Nah I doubt I'd find one that hasn't been abused just sitting on a lot for a couple years. Too bad, that was my original plan to succeed my G8. The Stinger is pretty nice though, and I'll see when I drive it.
I'm on the SS forum also, a guy on there has a thread about his dreaded SS experience. They finished the last one I want to say two months ago. He still hasn't received his. There's a couple 17's still on their way over. There will be a few gems sitting on the lots at the end of next year.

Keep in mind the SS has abysmal fuel economy. I still use my 2009 G8 GT as a daily driver and long distance road trip machine so FE matters to me. The Stinger may prove to be a great replacement though!
You seem like a car enthusiast with your garage in your signature. You're also like me, having two clashing hobbies with fast cars and mpg's. Do we really car about MPG's if we have a daily/gas-saver? [facepalm]

In my case I do because my G8 GT is the only vehicle I own that will comfortably carry 4 or 5 adults long distance.

Hi names Rizzo. I'll try and help out and provide some inside info on the Kia Stinger (USA versions). But sometimes you guys know stuff before I do. ;)
Currently own a 03' Lexus IS300, big turbo, 6spd V160 swap, etc etc = fun car. My daily driver for now is a 16' Kia Optima EX Premium Package.

I've added the trim levels, options and packages for all the info on the 2018 Kia Stinger turbo 4, and twin turbo V6. (RWD and AWD). It is in the Kia Stinger Ordering section.
Figured it would really help people to decide which direction they want to go and what options/packages have what so it will make it easier when ordering or going in to buy one knowing what they want.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my eyes peeled when I'm on the strip. Are you attending this year?

Waiting for my Stinger 3.3 V6 AWD

Hello everyone, I'm Mookie from Belgium. In my little country, we have french fries, waffles, chocolate and abbey beers. And since last week, we also have the Stinger! I'm the very happy owner of a 1999 Lexus IS 200, a 1997 Mercedes E280 V6 and a 2017 Mazda 6 wagon. This last one will be remplaced by the Stinger. This car makes me dream for months and on monday, after a long-awaited test, I ordered it! Initially, I thought to stay "reasonable" and take the 2.0 liter 255 horsepower RWD. But the test of the V6, its noise and its 365HP convinced me. So I ordered a V6 AWD with deep chroma blue body and black leather. Now I have to wait until April.

Thank you for your welcome, guys.

I'm one of the very first to order the car and the delivery is for april. The actual Stinger are only for dealers. They have to had 2 Stinger. One for testing and another one for showroom.
