Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

No pics, but spotted a Snow White Pearl northbound on Trafalgar Rd around 12:30 - we exchanged headlight flashes
Always great when the other driver acknowledges. :thumbup:
 
Saw a total of 4 stingers out on Saturday, a black one, ceramic silver, micro blue, and saw my first deep chroma blue Indigo edition other than mine on the road! it was on the interstate going the opposite way so couldn't get a picture. Did get one picture of the 4 of one at costco though.

A very sad sighting this afternoon on Mar Vista in Whittier. I was in the slow lane when a very dirty black Stinger—like it had never been washed ever—passed me on the left. It had a large roof sign clamped on, but was going too fast for me to read it by the time I realized what had just passed me. Then it swerved in front of my lane 3 or 4 cars ahead to make a (too) fast right into a narrow commercial street. I actually felt kind of sorry for the car: dirty, sporting tacky advertising, and being driven badly. :(

Probably delivering pizza, on the edge of survival.
 
During lunch today, stopped at a Shell station to fill up. As I pulled in I noticed a Silver Stinger parked next pump over also filling up. Unusual around these parts. The gentlemen was looking opposite direction so he didn't see me. I start my gas pumping and decided to take a chance. I'm going to walk over and engage with some questions about his car.
Glad I did. He was super nice older fellow. He had a 2018 with the 2.0. He loved it and said he had 50k miles on it with zero issues. He mentioned how impressed he was with the handling and reliability. He was curious how I liked the 3.3. He said the 2.0 was plenty of power for him. We traded chit chat and compliments of each other's cars then parted ways.

Sorry no picture... will do better next time.

Well, that would explain the erratic driving in heavy traffic (gotta get the order there in a hurry), but it doesn't excuse the heavy layer of grime. It looked like a barn find. And seeing a car that dirty pull up with my food would kill my appetite!
 
First time I've posted on this thread. Saw a bright, shiny, clean orange Stinger this morning. First one I've seen. Don

Dropped my kid off at school and a Blue Micro GT2 drove by...so odd because I have been waiting for a Micro Blue for a few weeks and just decided to go with Silver...and then see this exact color....strange.
 
All today on the ride home.

Every weekday headed home from work for about the last week, I've passed another HiChroma Red. I always wave but I don't know if they see it or not.
Flash em! And if doesn't work flick the high beams at them

Black gt2 with 1 of my premium wheels and the custom spare looking good! Friend of mine had a road debris issue tonight. Lost 2 tires and minor rim damage. Guess ill keep my stock wheels for just in case stuff.

Love the look of the spare! Gloss black looks so good.
 
Seen today at Parramatta AFP (Australian Federal Police)

I never knew that the AFP have Stingers too. It might be a good sign - it's possible that higher sales of Stingers to police departments might increase the incentive to both KIA and KIA Australia to continue making and importing them.
