Hmm.. I guess I could change FRIENDLY (the heart) to THANK. Should I do that?
Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

Okay, I'll leave it for now and if we get more itches for it in the future, we'll reconsider a change.

I finally got out to someplace scenic to take some shots and just posted them in the Gallery--"Meisterstinger."
There...clickable for everyone! Those are great shots. I love the contrast on those white GTs.

That does deserve a personal thank you, not just a thumbs up--I was so dithered just trying to download the album, I had not idea how to reference it here.

Haven't spotted any in the wild, but thought I'd share my experience of getting noticed in the Stinger.
1st time getting noticed was when I was getting my first tank of gas at Costco. The guy was definitely was sneaking in glances when he was refueling his car in front of me.
2nd time was as border control. I went to Canada (Vancouver) with friends this past week. The gate agent greeted us and asked for my vehicle registration, since I don't have a plate on it yet.
"Who's vehicle is this?"
"Mine."
"Is this one of the new super fast Kia's?"
"Supposedly."
The conversation continues.
3rd time, we were waiting in time to board the ferry. Since the line wasn't moving, we went inside the terminal to grab coffees. On the way back to the vehicle, the couple walking in front of us was checking out the car. First a glance, then more stares as they walk towards it, stopping at the rear for one final look.

Great pictures! Thank you for the photos. And thank you to @ralzod for sharing the link.
Boy, that watermark doesn't size-down for low resolution images. 
Heh! I'm sure you'll have many more stories throughout this year. It's a nice looking car and will surely get many double takes - especially after people find out it's a Kia...

Not a sighting of a single stinger in the wild. I suspect a shy solitary creature. Plumage can vary has a diet mixture of 4, 6 and 8 cyl vehicles. Can adapt.

Nothing here in north Chicago suburbs. To many badge snobs up here tbh. People are willing to sacrifice half a years salary to drive around in a bimmer, audi or mercedes. Having said this I did test drive two GT1's this weekend, both were marked up 4-7k and neither dealers were willing to drop below $600. They are sexy cars indeed but parking my G80 next to a stinger I really noticed the overall build and quality difference, everything from the doors, door handles, interior and leather, felt "cheaper" compared to the G80. But again I'm comparing a luxury sedan to a touring sedan I suppose.
Still the 3.3 Turbo and Hatchback win me over, I will give it a few months and see if I can't get a deal for around 4-5 hundered
