I think Kia screwed up and made the real Stinger off the full size Genesis sedan. hahaha
I have a 2015 5.0L sedan and the more I look at the Stinger, the more I like it. I have 3 more years of warranty before I trade it in and this is really tempting. I was going to go up to a Jag but I may have to step down to a Kia... LOL
It's hard to give up a V8 tho

Everything but that front bumper looks awesome, i would consider trading in one of my current cars if there was a nice aftermarket front bumper that isnt so weird looking.

Looks fine for the most part but leather door pulls make no sense on a car like this. Track-only trim, yes, that's a mighty fine idea but not for a daily. It's too try-hard
The Korean version has nicer rear badging... but I feel like the front and steering wheel badging is even worse than their current North American logo.
Have you had a chance to check out some of their other reviews?
I took a peek at their Cruze one, and quite enjoyed how they were able to be casually engaging without trying too hard like the MotorTrend guys.
For anyone who's seen the Chevy commercial parodies, the Mahk cameo also stood out to me.

Saw one in Burnaby yesterday, kind of like the Audi Nardo grey. Kia calls it Ghost Grey.
Looked pretty good.
I like the A7 ish sportback hatch/trunk design.
I bet WCC is happy that their long standing relationship with kia finally gets them a really cool car to work with instead of the freaking souls and fortes they've been forced to do in the past lol

Kia is trying to get sponsors to help fund a jump into Australian Supercar racing... but from little i could find online, existing race teams are still steadfast to their old v8 platforms:

When The Stinger was first announced, I too was very skeptical about how a budget carmaker could produce a quality GT or sports sedan.
I was very fortunate to be invited to drive this car at its limits on a race track and I have to give credit where it is due. This car can hold its own against many of its german rivals on a race track.....at a fraction of the cost.
I will agree that it is not up to the same German standards in terms of ride, handling, interior quality, etc. But it is not very far off. When you factor in the price, it is very good value for money.
I am not a Kia fan whatsoever, but hats off to them for a very solid effort with their first sports sedan.
