New Scorp owner

[Landshark]

Hello,
Just got a '22 Stinger GT2 AWD Scorp pkg to replace my '18 Infiniti Q60 RS AWD ...

Really liking it so far ... until it comes time to get the swirl marks out (Aurora Black) LOL!
Q60 is Graphite Gray, but previous G37 was black ... an endless cycle - get sick of maintaining black car to look nice, get a gray or silver car next, then black ... rinse and repeat.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger GT! I'm glad you found us. How does the Stinger compare to the Infiniti Q60 RS?

thanks! i still think the Q60 is a better-looking car, but the Stinger has a lot more functionality/practicality. as far as i can tell, about the same power-wise. i will miss my 13.6" aftermarket Android HU in the Q60 ... hard to go smaller after that. full screen Google Maps in satellite view is amazing.

Q60 is a good looking car, only from the front imo.

Stinger overall has a package beats it in everything.

Grats though!

That's a good looking face on the Infiniti. It doesn't look like a 7 yr old design at all.

Congrats and welcome

Howdy and welcome. The practicality of the Stinger is what swung me into a brand new car (the only brand new car I've had).

Welcome to the hive! Keeping a black car clean is the main reason I don't buy black cars lol, Ceramic coating should make it easier however

I've had two black cars, after the first one I said never again. Then I got a deal on the second one, then swore never again (again). lol

Happily not had any black cars since. The blue seems pretty low maintenance, little things don't pop out as much as darker colors/tones.

Agree on the Q60 front aging well, can even draw quite a few parallels between the Stinger's front design and the Q60's. If not for Infinity's (justified?) poor reliability reputation, I'd have no issues getting one.

the Stinger is my 6th black car

the Q60 has been pretty reliable - only problem i had was serp belt started squeaking, so i immediately took to dealer and the AC compressor was aligned and belt replaced under warranty. most people wait until it shreds and causes other problems. also, people thrash the living **** out of these cars - i've never seen anything like it. gets treated like a rental hoon-mobile. i would guess that most reliability problems are user error. no-knowledge JB4 t00ns, flame and burble t00ns, ebay parts, etc ....
