This is so funny... I mean, this whole thread is a bit funny to look at for a man who lives in Russia 
Here in Russia, there are a few Stingers overall (around 2k sold total or so), and 95% of them sold are 2.0 version. This is mainly because of 2.0 version here has 247 HP and 3.3 version has 370 HP - and the annual tax rates for any car with engine power above 250 HP are large as hell
The 3.3 version in Russia is really rare and suits only relatively rich driving enthusiasts, who can afford 1.5x fuel consumption (the gasoline fuel is really expensive here) and 4x annual tax rates if compared to much more popular 2.0 version.
I guess it is good to live in a country, where the tax rates are not dependent on the vehicle engine power, and the full gasoline 60 litres tank does not cost you 1\20 of your total monthly income...
