Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

Went to school in Bahston...love that place and miss it a bunch. 10 bucks says it some rich asian college kid in the driver's seat

Over here, BMW seems to be the Chevy of Arlington, they are everywhere. Stinger...not one since I saw the pretty red one at the Ft Worth Auto Show.

I've seen 5 Panameras in the last couple of months and only one single Stinger going the opposite way on the highway one afternoon. I don't live in an area that frequently has $50-100k cars driving around, so I'm REALLY surprised how many Pamameras I've come across.

I mostly love that I never see my car when I drive around. I like having a rare breed. But I also am really rooting for the Stinger to be a giant success for Kia, so it's starting to bum me out a little bit that it is still so unknown.

I think the majority of the general population have a stigmatism towards Kia. Even though they have improved over the years, the introduction of the Optima had a large impact on the general consumer and brought Kia more mainstream. I think the Stinger will bring Kia even more mainstream once people realize they are able to purchase a competing sports car/sedan that’s just as compatible to a 80k competitor for a third of the cost. The more people that see our cars the more interest is generated. I know people see my car and break their necks to get a second look. Not to mention the guys with the BMW, Audi’s, Mustangs and others that have to catch up when all they see is a blur when I antagonize them . Whatever the reason may be, I personally am enjoying every aspect of the Stinger. More fun for us, the eclectic ghastly horde!

Two months and 2 days since receiving my Stinger, I FINALLY saw one in the wild! Spotted it while driving mine, and he was parked ordering at a bikini barista stand. He didn't see me, but WOW they look good!!!!

Finally after 3 months, found another Stinger in my neck of the woods. Or I should say he found me. He made a u-turn and got behind me at the light. We chatted for about 15 minutes and took a 'group' photo.

What did he say about your badges?

What did he say about your badges?

He was quite impressed with the rear but had zero interest in switching any of his. Said he loved people being surprised that he's driving a Kia.

I finally spotted another Stinger on the road. I see you in your pearl white premium cruising on rt. 31 in Flemington. The only other was by my dealership on a test drive which doesn’t count. Sorry for the crap picture and it’s raining.

I like the dedication of trying to take the pic even in crap conditions.

Have not seen one in north Phoenix or Scottsdale AZ yet. We are the home of the $30,000/yr 'Millionaires' so there is no shortage of BMW, AUDI, PORSCHE, LEXUS, TESLA, MASERATI rolling around.

All i know is that i drive right by many of the luxury dealerships on way to office each day and the Yellow GT2 gets LOTS of attention.

I like the fact I don't see any driving around. makes me feel like I have something rare

still have not seen one around Chicago and suburb area.

was in knoxville tn past weekend and I got crazy attention and looks, my fiance was like I can't believe how many people check this car out.

I don't get that same amount of attention in Chicago, most probably think it's a Maserati. plus it's not to rare to see an Audi r8, Bentley gt, or even some Rolls Royces driving around

Just spotted my first Stinger! Same color and trim as mine, I had to do a double take!!! Anyone in Ann Arbor, MI that's on here?

 

[rdromance]

Spotted a black stinger today on the Meadowbrook Parkway. He pulled up along side of me but before I realized it was a Stinger, he had pulled back and was exiting to the expressway.

Just saw my first stinger in the wild today. I was making a left turn and just got a glimpse of a grey stinger. Wish I wasnt on my way to work or I would of chased him down to say hello and take a group pic. As this is the first one I've seen ever, let alone my city.

Here in Edmonton I seen a few already. I remembered the first time seeing it and was just staring at it, very beautiful car.

I’ve never seen one in YEG. But maybe you’ve seen me.

About a week ago I saw a BASE 2.0T Stinger on the way home from work. It was white in color, pretty nice. This morning I saw a Nissan GT-R on the way to work. It got in the Express Lane and gunned it and vanished out of sight.

Finally saw another one (my 3rd). Was pulling into church Sunday and noticed a familiar grill in my rearview - Red GT2. Spoke to the guy about 20 minutes. He said he bought it on a whim. He had never heard of the car, was looking for something else, and it caught his eye. He bought it on the spot without even a test drive. He loves it so far and he's coming from a Corvette ZR1 I believe.
