THANK YOU KIA!

For making this car! This is moments after the salesman arrived at my house with it! GT2 AWD. First in my state I was told.
It has been named "NEW HOTNESS". Lol

Replacing a Pontiac G8 GXP which was the best car I ever owned In terms of performance (415 HP LS3), fun to drive and overall good looks. Truly bittersweet.

Beautiful! And yes, it is bittersweet trading in our Pontiacs (even though mine was an oldie), but I don't think either of us will feel the "sting" from that for long. Congratulations!

Congratulations, @Plainolmoo! You finally have a Stinger in your driveway! And a GT2 at that! New Hotness is looking HOT!

Looking good & congrats on your new age “Korean muscle”.....which supersedes your old school “Aussie muscle” aka Pontiac G8 GXP (Aussie designed & built Holden Commodore SS - RIP now Holden manufacturing ceased this year after almost 70 years) but the Stinger is a worthy replacement RWD for us Aussies, enjoy!

I'm a Holden fan for life. Had an 06 GTO before the G8 and currently drive a 2015 Chevy Caprice PPV (also Aussie) for work. So sad to see them go.

Yes, I am an old Holden guy here, pretty much owned them all my life, my last one was an 05 SSZ 5.7 auto in Turismo Mica (a 4 door GTO). But we move on in the 21st century with new age vehicles.......sigh!
BTW...Chevy Caprice here is called Statesman but higher end finish than PPV
