Anyone here from Canada? I wonder what the reception has been like. I wonder what Canadians think of the Stinger seeing it up close and personal.

"[...] Stinger can be tuned to respond with more agility through corners as the system softens the front shocks and firms up the rear. Conversely, improved high-speed stability is achieved when the system stiffens the front shocks and softens the rear."
Is that really how this works?

Interesting that they purposely placed this "Pre-production Model" sign.
Hopefully it means we are in for a few surprises here and there upon release, which has been hinted around the place recently...

I think that just means materials are subject to change.

“As a four-cylinder, it’s 1,640 kg,” said Beirmann. That’s 3,615 lbs, which is on par with the rest of the sport sedan class. “The six-cylinder, all-wheel drive model tops out at 1,800 kg (3,968 lb).” That might sound like a lot but isn’t too bad, considering the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport weighs around 4,054 lb.

I don't expect anything to be light anymore unless it's the Toyota Yaris or something like that. Funny how there's a turbo four going into the next Yaris. 200hp, I believe. It might actually be a little quick. But back on topic, cars are just heavy nowadays. I think 3968 is pretty good.
