I Like The Production Stinger Better Than The Concept. Am I Alone?

[Jenny Wang]

I always hear how people are let down when the see the production version of any concept car. Most recently this is happening with the Genesis G70. I think it was that "New York" concept that everybody wanted it to look like. But now we're seeing it just looks like any other sedan. I'm sure many people will be upset.

When it comes to the Stinger, I really like the production version better. Anyone else? Here are a few pictures:

You're not alone. The concept car was pretty funky looking to me, and not necessarily in a good way.

It believe it was more so based on this GT concept at 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

I am glad they got the "stinger" name from that GT4 concept though.

That version wasn't too bad. This one was the one I don't care for so much.

To answer you question Jenny, I agree. The production version is an absolute cracker! (...that means really good). I prefer it too.

Yeah, I prefer the production Stinger to the concept(s). The Stinger is a very handsome car. I'd say it was pretty but that just doesn't feel right.

No, you're not. The Stinger concept looked like a concept - one that never comes to fruition. The Stinger we have is a much nicer production version of the concept...
