Looks pretty nice! wonder if 60k is really the number or will the dealers be marking those up...

That's just the starting price. There may be 3 trims as is normal with the Stinger, GT, GT1 and GT2. We can look for the GT2 to be in the $70K range, if the trend holds. I would bet the IONIQ 5 N and GV60 Sport will follow, with the GV60 getting an edge over the KIA and Hyundai vehicles. It's got a boost mode already, but I think they will still keep it as a luxury ride than an all out performer.

Is anyone going to spend that much coin on a Kia?

Just look at what Tellurides are going for right now.

Why wouldn't they? People are buying the mustang Mache and comparable teslas for that much. I feel sorry for a lot of posters on here who settled for the stinger because they really couldn't afford an audi or BMW. I shopped for a long time and had fun driving a lot of cars. Ultimately it really came down to either the stinger or an a7 and I really didn't think the a7 was worth the price difference. So far I'm very satisfied.

The Stinger was my first choice, but I'm not a badge snob. I do my homework on the things important to me and make sure it's not complete garbage (reliable).

$60k will be marked up, everything is marked up. What reason would they have to not mark it up? And they'll sell plenty at or above MSRP, there's demand for EVs.

 

[Stinger GT SS]

We will have 3 EV6 variants here in OZ
EV6 Air 2WD @ AU$79K drive away.
EV6 GT Line AWD @ AU$96K drive away.
EV6 GT AWD @ approx. AU$115K drive away price to be confirmed.

Keep in mind Kia hasn't announced the U.S. price yet. The price in the video is just their guess. I'm guessing it'll be closer to $70k than $60k.

My official guess: $67,495 before tax credit.

What would be nice is if they only did a GT1 and GT 2, since we already have a decent performer in the EV6 GT Line AWD. Personally, I would like to see a body style like the Stinger in EV guise to keep the 4 door coupe in the line up. BMW turned their 4 Series Gran Coupe into the I4 or rather built an EV on that platform, Audi has the e-tron GT and we know Genesis added batteries to the G80 to make it an EV at the cost of floor space. It would suck to do that to the Stinger, they would need to incorporate the batteries and design it to have better interior space. In short, make it on a dedicated EV platform.

My guess is that you'll be out the door starting at $75k neighborhood....for a battery operated station wagon. No thanks.

Depends - if they offer $45K for my Stinger, it might be interesting.. IF it can handle a track day, which I doubt.

Problem at the track is charging. a 30 minute session flat out will chew up a lot of battery. We're going to be in a place where we need 30 - 50 chargers on a well attended track day. Long Live ICE!

Saw one sell for 75k at a local dealer. 15k mark up

GTs aren't being sold yet. It must have been a GT-Line, which starts at $51k so the mark-up is even worse!

You gotta be crazy to buy a ev6 at the price they’re going for.
