Greetings

My current ride is a Ford Focus ST. Manual, of course. I am going to be getting something else.

I need an automatic. I'm fifty-mumble years old, and the joints are getting stiff. So I can't count on having all four limbs ready and able to drive a manual.
I consider a wagon or a hatch a necessity.
My default ride for decades was a Saab 99/900 turbo hatchback. I have lost track of how many I have owned. ( I hate GM for wrecking Saab, but that is for another thread. )
Also, I need a little more room. One of the other effects of getting older is that I seem to have accumulated more stuff and more responsibilities.

I was hoping to upgrade to a Ford Fusion Sport Wagon. But Ford won't bring it here.

I was delighted to read last year that Audi was bringing their A5/S5 Sportback to the USA. I was set on getting one: the only decision was if I could justify the extra money for the S5.

Then I read about the Stinger. From my point of view, it appears to be an A5/S5 clone at a lower price and with a longer warranty. And a few more horses.

Welcome aboard!...You are certainly right! The capabilities of the Stinger performance wise leave nothing to be desired from its German competitors, it is the best bang for your buck. If you have a chance, test drive one and you will really feel and see what it is all about.
