Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

[UltimaX5]

Someone in a white GT flashed their lights at me to get my attention on 270 in Maryland tonight. If you're on the boards then hey!

Well I'm in Maryland but it wasn't me

Here’s another angle & as you can see it’s not 6 spots, the white line under the orange one is actually for foot traffic which allows rear access to the showroom that nobody actually uses.

Do you have any pictures of under the car to ensure none of the "foot traffic" got stuck under them?

Nonetheless two great looking vehicles sitting side by side.

My wife saw this CS yesterday in Murray. She was proud of herself for actually recognizing a Stinger. Not a bad pic for being in a hurry.

Micro blue Gt 11.09am heading south on Henry Lawson Drive, Georges Hall.

Spotted this Ceramic Grey Stinger GT in the local Maccas carpark at 12.06pm today, it had Werribee Kia plate frames, and as you can see, the economy figures label still attached to the inside front windscreen. Also, it's difficult to see, but the front bumper was full of bugs all over.

Later today at the local shopping centre carpark, I spot this VW Arteon R-Line at 6.22pm, similar to the red VW Arteon R-Line in the video I posted recently by Throttle House, Kia Stinger vs VW Arteon R-Line.

I was so excited for the Arteon, then I was so let down by the performance. I wish that VW would stop slapping R badges on cars when all they've done is added some trim pieces to it. It's a gorgeous car but I expected a lot more out of it as far as performance.

Micro Blue, third one in a little over a month. At c. 5500 South, eastbound, turning right, southbound, onto 700 West; the time was c. 4:45 this afternoon.

1:15pm Neon Orange northbound on the Pacific Hwy Wyong, I thought it may be the dealer demonstrator as I saw it parked outside the dealership about 4:30pm when I was on my way back home, but their website doesn’t show any Stingers in stock.

And for the daily double, a High Chroma Red parked at the front of Wyong Railway Station at 1:55pm. It was still there at 4:30 when I drove back past sitting in the 1/2 hour parking space so hopefully the Council Rangers didn’t catch him and leave a present under the wiper blade.

What did you think of the Orange?

What did you think of the Orange?

It’s not bad, I had a look at it up close at my dealership when it was released, while I don’t necessarily dislike it, it’s not a colour I’d buy for myself. It does grow on you though.

Dropbox - IMG_6373.MOV - Simplify your life
Drove my wife to her reflexology appointment; the same parking lot as the one where she shot that pic of the CS last week. The CS was there again; apparently somebody works in the office complex. I think that the "E" badge is probably a skin. Haven't seen another oval "E".

Is it just me, or is there size differences between the 2 whiteys?
One looks smaller than the other one.

Yeah, my wife says the optical illusion makes the CS look smaller than our SS.

Well, aren't I the gifted one lately. Another Micro Blue, westbound on 10400 South just west of 2700 West. Time, c. one o'clock in the afternoon. I was on my bicycle, following a canal path, and right as I came to 10400 South and turned east onto the sidewalk, it passed me going the other way.

FINALLY... after 18 months of ownership / about 2 months ago, I find another GT(2) in my neck of the woods. AND, it ends up being a co-worker. I'd only seen 2 other Stingers in the wild here - both silver base/2.0 models.. or maybe it was the same guy. Anyway, it's not like I live in the boonies. There's 1+ million people here in the greater Grand Rapids area.. but Stingers are rarer than Lake Michigan dolphins. Anywho... I pulled into the parking lot at work and see this GT2 AWD in Panthera Metal. I figured it might be a visitor. (I checked it out - MI plates but noticed staggered 19"s with the UHP tires on an AWD? a 2019? - from Canada?). Anyway, it's there the next day too. So I put a note on it with my email addr. I get a response later in the day from a lady who works in my building - we probably have 800 folks there. I sort of recognized the name... We met up in the parking lot at lunchtime. Sure 'nuff she and I had been in our company's golf league many years prior. Anyway... we shared our thoughts about the car - she was attracted by the styling and really loves it. We chat about it when we see each-other in the hallways, and I've offered her some tips - including this forum and, most recently, recommendations on winter wheels/tires. Anyway, pretty cool.

Nice, ...you did point her in the direction of the forum and tell her there many ladies here as well...

Saw a white one yesterday 2:20pm heading east on the lower road in North Vancouver. Looked like a lot of black on top. Maybe it was my Stinger Winger @westcoastGT.
