**** that site. The significant business endeavor anyone that works for them ever had was buying an iPhone XS on an installment plan.

17000 units sold of the stinger so far. For a new and foreign sports sedan that's pretty damn good. Especially one with a Kia badge.
the BRZ/FRS sold well at first too.........

It's happening to other cars too. Nissan is not alone. All sports cars are down on sales.

Applies to almost every vehicle that cannot be described as "truck" or "SUV"

When the Z came out was the same

09. 13000
10. 10000
11. 7000
12 6000
13 thru 18. 6000 or less.

17,000 units is still a good number for what the car is and brand perception etc. For Hyundai it shows growth since they're less established than other companies

My G37 and me raced one last week. They kept up a good race but I still had him. Load of fun and was really surprised.

I raced a Stinger this past weekend which lead me to this thread. I beat him pretty handily.

I'd say the Z is not only better looking by a wide margin, but still faster.

guy 2 doors down from me has a 350 always comes over drooling over the 370 then now the GTR.......he came home with a stinger 2 weeks ago and still comes over to rub on the nissans.

now seeing it everyday the stinger is even worse than i originally thought/felt.

they legit just robbed the IP's of so many other cars like they were making a car in grand theft auto.

it's kinda sad and the power isnt even that great on them.

Dude, you're comparing a GT-aRah and Z to a 4 door sedan?
For reals brah? What were you realistically expecting?

no no no i wasnt comparing those 2. thats not even a fair fight well aware so relax.

my point was the stinger itself is just awful. its a mash up of the designer stealing ideas from other cars just like the cars in GTA to avoid being sued lol.

The 240Z was a mish mash of a jaguar E type, a ferrari Daytona and some toyota roadster. The rx7 was 924 ripoff. I mean a lot of great cars were there at one time. But the kia though has features of the audi. It seems to made itself out to be an aggressive looking Optima. More than any other car it looks like itself.
A lot of cars start as mish mash cars.

Default 2022 Stinger!!

Not worth making a new thread on simple but VERY good news.

Kia addressed their base engine problems by replacing the old underpowered engine with a 2 5l 300hp engine with 310hp.
This is probably even better news if the lighter weight G70 is getting the same treatment?

Those two are in different classes. I owned an '18 KIA Stinger GT1 RWD and I still own an '11 Nissan 370Z Sport Touring. I wouldn't trade one for another either way, but I would own both again.

PS: KIA Stinger GT in any drivetrain format is a 2-ton behemoth. The Z34 is much more agile.
