Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

They will probably try & unload the Rafa Edition during the Australian Open, hoping someone will get caught up in the tennis hype.

Are you a fan of Mustangs too ? I originally wanted one when they were first being imported here, but the reviews and the crap safety rating they had at the time put me off. Also felt they were impractical for my situation as I have my kids with me a lot and a two door coupe would be a pain. I'm not keen on two door cars anyway because if it was in an accident, I always would worry if the back seat passengers would get trapped.

Like yourself, in the beginning when the Mustang was first imported here, i thought about purchasing one, but exactly like you mentioned, the low safety rating, the two doors, and then i would see them everyday, and it would have to be the V8, i also was closer too purchasing a 2017 Holden VFII Commodore SS Redline, but then the Stinger showed up just in time.

Kia ads started already, i could be wrong, but i am sure Kia mentions in the ad, something about the models will be Australian Open Editions ?

Me too, love the look of the mustang, although not a Ford man I would have considered buying one, however the way Ford treated its customers here in OZ & the poor ANCAP Saftey Rating put the brakes on that idea.

No stingers yet but I'm sure they will come.

I think I saw my 14th Stinger in the wild today, a white one in East Whittier. I was parked in a lot above street level, trying to hear the end of of a piece of music before the annoying battery warning could pop up, when I looked down to see what had to be our distictive roofline and sunroof just before it passed out of view. But my big siting of the day was a few minutes earlier, a Bentley Continental GT turning into a Ralphs Grocery lot. The first I've seen anywhere but the internet, and it's a good thing I was stopped at a light so I could stare at length.

Kiwis everywhere are just itching to join that conga line.....

Well, I’ve owned one for almost three months now and researched and negotiated for a couple of months and have still not seen one in the wild. My detailer says there is a white one in our town that he sees driving around though....

True Ollie I'll just translate the Conga thing for them:
"Baa,baa, baa,baa -Baa."

Hadn't seen this one, but found it on You Tube,. I'll be recommending it to younguns.

An old friend dropped by this evening & took me for a quick spin in his 89 Lingenfelter Corvette Convertible, (nice warm evening for it) on the way back & only a couple of streets from home we passed a Deep Chroma Blue GT at the roundabout as it was dusk I couldn’t see the licence plate....it wasn’t you @Ozstung was it?

If we had stingerforum decals we could place either on the rear hatch windscreen or rear side windows, would be easier to spot fellow forum members out there on the roads, but then again, have not seen another Stinger probably two months now.
