What car is the Stinger replacing?

[FluffyBottoms]

I doubt the Stinger will be the first car for most folks, so I'm curious to know what cars people are driving that are interested in the Stinger.

Right now I have a Kia Cadenza, but my true love was the 2008 Pontiac G8 GT that preceded it. But as luck would have it (or planned obsolescence), the car started to breakdown after the warranty was over. After the car wouldn't start for my pregnant wife when she was in a shopping mall, it was time to move on. The Cadenza has been an amazingly reliable car for my family, and we've had zero issues with it - but it feels like more of an appliance than a vehicle I can be passionate about. I'm hoping the Stinger can be the best of both, reliable and fun to drive.

Replacing an S63 AMG? Didn't see that one coming. Not sure if the Stinger will be as fun to drive, but it'll be better on gas I guess.

I think it will look better, drive better, be faster, more comfortable and it's also much bigger.

Do you mean C63? The Stinger will be bigger than the C63, about the same size as the E63 but smaller than the S63...

A modified 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution MR. The Stinger won't be as fast or handle as well, but it certainly will be more comfortable. My wife has a 2015 Lexus GS 350 RWD with the Luxury Package, and I expect the Stinger to to be a little faster and handle just a little better than the Lexus.

I think you're going to be very pleasantly surprised...

I hope so!

 

[Kia Stinger]

I hope so!

Well, it's going to be noticeably faster. Handling, I'm not sure. I forget which model year the GS got lighter with better handling...

 

[FluffyBottoms]

Benz's, Bimmers and Evo's......the Stinger is truly attracting enthusiasts and not just those with Optimas looking to upgrade.

If I get a Stinger, it'll be replacing an Audi A6.

OK, don't laugh--'97 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. What can I say, it's low mileage and has HUD, the leather seats still look new, and except for sensor lights that go off randomly, it runs great. AND I hate shopping for cars. (You guys just TRY being a woman "of a certain age" in a car showroom. It's not fun!)

Heads up display on a 1997 Pontiac! That's pretty awesome!

And I'm guessing it's paid for at this point.

 

[eljay]

Hah! Yes, paid for, and for it's time it was a great car, especially for its price range. But, dang, it's old, and I can't wait to test drive a Stinger.
