If I squint, other than the grille in the pic above, I see more q50 than Stinger in the front end.

CVT? ugh, I have never driven a car with a CVT that I didn't hate...

I would have to see it in person, but I don't think I like it. IMO The front end does not match the rest of the car. The front screams sporty, the rest of the car screams econobox.

That photo does not show a good angle of the car, It's not bad looking. I'm curious to see what the SX trim will bring. Based on the stance it should handle well. Where is our Stinger with the factory lowered look? I like this video:

Here is something I have been noticing while perusing the web, KIA has an Optima GT Line in Korea and other countries where it seems to have lowered suspension, sport seats with better bolsters and that Engine noise being piped into the cabin like the Stinger. Couldn't tell if they did something else to make it perform better, that would be nice but I doubt it. With the face lifted version in the works, I do hope they make it quicker and handle even better.
