"It just feels like an extension of your hands and body, far more so than the disagreeably and disappointingly distant BMW 440i, and perhaps a tad more playful than the Audi S5. At the same time, it still follows the grand-touring playbook of offering a ride that won't beat you up, a cabin that pampers, and of course, styling that makes you swoon after returning from each pit stop.

Eastern Oregon's two-lane Highway 20 provided plenty of passing opportunities. There's no buildup of speed needed, no requirement to floor the accelerator — just punch the throttle, watch the speedometer whip up to triple digits, and then brake back to cruising speed having easily dispatched slower traffic.

I started to appreciate just how quiet the Stinger is, which further satisfies the luxury criteria of a proper GT car. It certainly makes things easier for the truly knock-out 15-speaker Harman/Kardon surround sound system, and listening on the move was made easier by Apple CarPlay, included standard on every Stinger along with Android Audio."
