Most people are brand conscious specially with cars.

My chance of picking up a girl is higher with my Z than with the Kia stinger!
So in my books my Z still wins!

Case dismissed? Lol

But thank you for a nice review on the Stinger.
Though I’ll stick with my muscle car and Z.
If your pick up skills are based off the car you drive? Then my man.... you need help. Lol. U know something though.... I'm just being honest here. Most chics in Texas didn't really go gaga over my Z. It was other dudes. When I got the camaro. I get women asking me if it's a SS allll the time. N then strike a convo with me.
Here women love common *** pickups n muscle cars.

With the Z. Girls would say. "I love your car but it's too small U can't fit anything in there." But.... the moral of the story is.... When I bag chics in malls or bars. They have no idea what I drive. Rely on your skills, not the whip. Lol

Totally agree. I even drive a Camry yet I get lucky few times.
I’ll buy a Kia Sorento as a family car. But a Kia for a sports Sedan at 50K? I’ll still get the Infinity or Lexus instead. Sorry I must admit Im a brand person.

Honestly Would you trade your Camaro with the Stinger?

Editing to state that... this statement is not an argument. It's just a view on how to choose the right cars for u. I gotta be clear on a kia thread. Where hostility reigns.


If the name on the car is why you choose a car? You are already losing.

Car value and depreciation only mean something to people who lease or buy a new car every 3 years. If you are keeping your car a whole car generation? Buy what you like and enjoy.

I bought my Acura tlx cuz 38% of the depreciation was eaten. And when I sell it in two years. I would only lose 12% of the depreciation. I really don't like acura's but I was able to figure out this math. The car is for business purposes. So I got what can play the role of business car and grocery getter.

If you think you'll keep your Stinger for 6 years or the duration of America's greatest warranty? Buy one.

That's my recommendation on the Kia.

I'm not stringing people that don't agree. But a lot of people give their opinion with unfounded fact. Aka bullshyt. I don't challenge no one's opinion. I get on the parts where they make false claims or use outdated info as current.

If someone came in here on a Z thread talking unfounded **** bout the Z if be the same fvckin way. Remember Jungle Z. A couple of u sound like Jungle Z's for the Kia Stinger.

Maybe now y'all understand why I counter the unfounded ****. U free to not like what u don't like.

found another one of these ugly things driving to work today.

the one thing that really makes me hate it even more is the fact they couldnt even be a little creative with their styling. the whole car is a rip off of other cars and smashed together.

the rear end is a complete copy of the maserati gran turismo rear end. like cmon now at least try to style the car yourself.

Do you know how many people back in 1970 were whining about the 240z being a ripoff of the Jaguar E type, Ferrari Daytona and other similarly styled cars.

Do you know how many people were whining about the rx7 being a Porsche 924 ripoff. Despite all the complaining purists. These cars went on to be their own heritage cars that finally came into their own.

The camaro was a copy of the mustang. Today the camaro is a stronger drivers car than the mustang.

The Stinger looks like the original optima, but muscular and more dramatic that has a couple styling cues from Maserati and Lexus. Which is fair game cuz Toyota been robbing other people's styles as well. N they are an established company. Jus sayin.

Also, if people love this car and hate this car. Kia did a great job. When you think of a fusion. Do you even have an emotion?

Crossover anyone?

"Facts". Got it.

Don't challenge anyone's opinion? This whole thread is you challenging people with your "facts".....as is every other thread on this page. Really I don't care about Kia or the Stinger or your your seemingly strong affinity for it but I know you HAVE to have the last word so Ill await your next crude and childish response. U Iz sOOo kOOlZ BrAh.
