Not at all surprising, your average 2.0T sedan in Europe are commuters made to rack up miles and diesels are pretty much defunct due to regulations. Service schedules being a hinderance aside the Stinger is an unknown long term fiscal entity and resale values undetermined, racking up miles could be an expensive proposition.

An all singing, all dancing (cheaper) alternative to an F30 440i / M440i or Audi S5 Sportback however with an automatically assumed perception of higher running costs makes a lot more sense.
