Good to be here

Folks, Thanks for the warm welcome to this forum. I look forward to participating in future Stinger conversations.

As for myself, I’ve been following this vehicle since the 2011 GT Concept. Patiently waiting until January 2nd, I proudly took delivery of a black and red Stinger GT2 AWD.

Got a great lease deal thanks to Kia incentives, from World Car Kia. My monthly payment is $550. Pretty sweet in comparison to the other cars I considered leasing such as the BMW 440i Grand Coupe, Audi A5 Sportback and Infinity Q50/60 Red Sport 400.

So glad I got the Stinger. It’s been a brilliant car from day one. I smile every time I get in this impressive vehicle!

Thanks again for the warm welcome. I look forward to being a part of this community.

Welcome! $550 a month on lease? How much down? If none/minimal, that’s a great deal and hopefully a sign of things to come!

Thanks @Bigserver1. I had a trade and negotiated it up to $6k. Combined with the lease incentive it was an offer too good to pass up. Dealer was wonderful to work with. The Stinger was so new to them that I showed them what the GT2 offered. Pretty sure they know what they have now.

Glad you found us! Welcome to the community! You've been waiting for this car a long, long time. And you finally have it. What did the Stinger replace?

Thanks @BIGRED! Congratulations on your new Stinger. So glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I look forward to being a part of this community so we can exchange stories. I think my family has heard enough of me waxing poetic about this impression car.

My Stinger replaced the Nissan Maxima. Although it was lacking in comparison to the Stinger, that car was solid with very few mechanical issues. I was planning to step up to a rear wheel drive luxury brand but Kia won me over!

The Stinger will bring a lot of folks in to see the Stinger, they will have an opportunity to see the other products and spread the word on the quality of the vehicles KIA is now making. This is reminding me of when Volvo launched the current gen XC90 back in 2016, that vehicle brought in a lot of folks to their dealers, while helping them to move some of the older vehicles. Volvo was moved to the lower spectrum of the "luxury" segment, I think they were called a entry premium brand along the lines of what folks said about Acura. Now they are churning out some beautiful products. KIA has upped their game but a lot of folks haven't taken notice until now.
