lol the wives

If it helps my wife hates fast cars and thinks my Corvette sucks because it's too low to get in and out of but she genuinely wants me to be happy so she supports me in whatever car I want to get. That counts as a success story, right?

 

[Jumpy]

Wow, so I'm the only person set on buying a different car? I still follow this forum because regardless, it's one of the best car forums I've seen, and I still enjoy following the Stinger's release and seeing what everyone thinks about it.

Not exactly but my wife likes to say that when it comes to cars I change my mind every month lol! So far the stinger has held my interest for several months now as it seems to check all the boxes. The only issue i'm dealing with right now is options for the stinger (as I know many of us are). I love the style of the GT but the gas mileage is pretty terrible for a commuter car (in my opinion) and the base and premiums look too bland to consider. A 2.0T with GT front and rear bumpers is the ticket. Will it happen? No clue but for now i'm content with waiting to see what happens next year, if anything

I'm all for little incentives to show you got the highest trim of a car, but I prefer it to be things like exclusive paint colors or something. The fact that they made the base Stinger purposefully less attractive than the GT with that different front and the basic lights I think was a mistake. It's not the kind of thing I'd really notice on the road from a distance but would drive me nuts if I owned it and knew there was no actual reason aside from being penalized for wanting the more fuel-efficient version.

Damn straight that counts as a success story!

My wife says the same thing, I change my mind on cars every 2 weeks.

She did say that once our kid is in college, maybe I can get a car with performance.

You could always get the 2.0T... That's not "fast". Having a good, safe, reliable car that doesn't cost a fortune sounds like a good part of life goals to me.

Yeah, but I want the 3.3T. It has the most value for a performance car.

I told my wife it's a "family" car - see four-doors?
Aimed to carry kids - see the Isofix points for children seats?
It has a longer wheelbase than a Sonata or a Cadenza, I had to present it's so comfy in sitting in the back - more on that later.
Practical like an SUV due to folding rear seats.
Built to rival the Germans = safer in case of accidents.

(failed) to get the 3.3TT - couldn't justify the need of 365hp to bring our groceries from the supermarket home, less than a kilometer away.
(failed) to get the dream edition for the limited slip diff - was going with snow in winter but there's hardly any snow on the street here in Seoul.

Yeah, some worked, some didn't - so it's a 2.0T Stinger for me. Still consider a success right?

If I go to Korea next year with her, maybe I'll get to test drive Korea's version of the Stinger.

That is certainly a success story!

Thank you very much for those kind words! I've worked very hard at getting this place off the ground (torque) and so many of you have kept it moving with great camaraderie and informative discussions (horsepower)! Together, we've made this a really nice place to spend time online...

As for people still buying the Stinger - there's just a special emotion about this car! People are going to buy it whether it's missing this or that or not the best at this or that. You still get a lot for your money and it's going to be unique on the road for a long time. I think it'll be more unique than the "Genesis" cars and they still turn a lot of heads and get lots of questions. It's going to be fun owning a Stinger on many levels...

 

[Jumpy]

^Oh yeah, I'm not surprised that lots of people are buying Stingers, just that I'm the only 1 out of 94 votes for "buying another car." And my vote is nothing against the Stinger, it's just that I found myself wanting a more compact car.

But yeah, great job running this joint. I look forward to hearing everyone's stories when they get their Stinger.

I really liked/wanted a Genesis when the coupe came out. Not the 2.0L T but the 3.8L that was only offered in RWD. This will be the 3rd Kia I've bought. I've had very little ever go wrong with them and the warranty is superb! To me it's a price value question and KIA is great at the answer!

A word of advice... Be careful about posting too many sales messages. There's a fine line between enough - and too much... People don't want to be spammed. Be gentle. The members and viewers aren't here to watch a sales competition...

Authorized dealers have their own forum/section to post deals and inventory. If somebody asks where they can find a Stinger near them, feel free to tell them. But don't answer questions that nobody is asking...

Very Well Said and I agree

Very Well Said and I agree

Ultimately, I'd love to see you guys sell Stingers. That means they're getting into the hands of our members. But at the same time I want to see you build a relationship with the community. That way the members and viewers will appreciate your presence - not the opposite...

 

[TheRealPinky]

I will be purchasing one in 2019, just waiting for my kids to get old enough I can stop paying for daycare ($1800 a month) Hopefully they will have Chroma yellow or Deep Chroma Blue in Canada by then. For now I just get to stare at it everyday...lol.

Pic is view from my office.

 

[Scotty@SherwoodKia]

love the deep chroma blue wow !!!

 

[Euljiro1ga]

Great to see dealers liking the products they sell. It's actually great to hear voices of dealers on the forum. Hope you guys can share more in the near future.

 

[Sean Forchuk]

It's an amazing product and this car is a treat to drive.
