Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

Eureka! Finally saw my first in the wild today! (I'm not counting the ones I saw at the Kia mothership in Irvine when eight or so of us went there for market research. That was way too easy to count as a sighting.) Today's was ceramic silver with Covina Valley dealer plates, about 8:50 a.m., 605 fwy, above the 60 and then transitioning to the right onto the 10. If it was one of you, your left turn signal was on for over a mile. (Yeah, like I've never done that when I have the volume up on the radio. Anyone else notice that the dash lights for the turn signals aren't in the best possible position?)

Dude, the top lights on the dash are in the worst place. With the wheel at the position I like, I can't see the driver assist icons either.

Thank goodness! I was beginning to think it was just me. Thanks for commenting.

Des Moines Iowa. Other than mine I have not seen any others on the road here (I'm not always that observant though). There are 11 Stingers at the Kia dealership here(There were 12 yesterday - so 1 must have sold). 1 base, 2 GT's, 5 GT2's and 3 premiums.

Never seen another one in the UK, but just returning from a business trip to NZ saw a red one parked up in Nelson. Seems so rare you have to travel half way round the world to see another one! Does it belong to one our members?
Saw a deep blue one in a showroom in Timaru - really like that colour, shame not available here.

The wife reported another red one the other week at the grocery store parked next to ours. Then last week, I saw it on the hiway going opposite direction. Ran across my bud, who happens to be the finance guy at my dealer. Said it was sold to another buddy of ours who lives in same town.

Besides owning the Stinger, I have yet to see another one in my area besides the ones at dealerships. I am in the Kent/Fedway area of WA. Anyone seeing them around in their respective areas?

I am always on the lookout trying to find them...mainly because they are so nice to look at...lol

I’ve had my Black Stinger GT since mid February. I’ve only seen one other on the road and it was the Premium. That’s it.

I saw another blue GT on the road today...however I was in my wife's Sorento lol

 

[StingerNYC]

Haven't seen one around here yet.

Still have yet to see one in the wild but my employees have told me that they saw a red one.

In my z06, whenever we see another same gen corvette. We always wave to each other. If I ever see a stinger in the wild I'll be overly excited and give honks and waves. Lol

Just saw a fellow Stinger besides mine in the Dallas area for the 1st time

 

[iclicku]

still haven't seen another stinger in western WA...and I know we have quite a few forum members that live in this area.

Fiance told me she saw a blue one driving the other day in Knoxville on her way home. Said the guy looked nervous as shit driving haha, probably test driving.

Going on 2 months and still haven't seen one on the road!

I want Kia to succeed with the stinger. But I am rather happy that I am not seeing it everywhere. And people are still so fascinated by it. They've never even seen or heard of it. And always come up to me to ask about it or pull up next to me at red lights to ask.

It also helps that most people have this stigma about the brand. 50k for a Kia? No thanks. Keep walking, I don't care for overpaying to get a certain emblem.

I noticed a guy at a red light behind me take his phone and snap a pic of my car! I then left him very far in my rearview
