Nice! Can you think of a car that's gotten such great press?
10 hot vehicles most likely to increase in value, 'terrifying the neighbors'

I would be happy if this indeed increased value over the years but that is a stretch haha

My guess is, if Kia continues to develop/improve the Stinger line, an "original, mint, 2018 Stinger" could have a much higher value in 20 or 30 years than it will in 5. Likely from a nostalgic former owner on these very forums.

I think the potential is there. Especially for the TT v6.

Just like the car auctions, Barrett Jackson ams similar. A few years back it was the old Jaguars and Austin Healeys and the like and lately it’s all Chevelles and all muscle cars. Seems to always be what we lusted for in our youth.

The cars I was most interested in, during my teens, were the Toyota Celica GT-Four, from the video game "Sega Rally Championship", the Nissan Skyline GTR34 (from seeing it on the streets of Tokyo), and Magnum Pi's Ferrari (amongst other select 80's Ferrari's, like the Testarossa). My Stinger can beat a Testarossa in 0-60, the quarter mile, and probably handles better as well, but the Testarossa still looks great. People will pay a lot for nostalgia. I'd pay a lot for a mint condition Celica GT. The same could be true for this Stinger. There is some teenager out there who will desire this car, and in their 30's would pay a premium for it, even though better/faster cars could be had for less. It's lack of neural network controls will be considered quaint...the good old days where people used antique touchscreens to interact with cars, and pushed buttons to roll down the windows. There probably won't be many gas stations left (that still sell gas), so getting to "hear" an engine run will be interesting as well.

Maybe in 20 years... if you never drive it.... and you're lucky....
