What have they done...

[SEA Stinger]

I wonder how much they are charging over MSRP for that creation..

@Dave Miller, maybe Ron Tonkin KIA is trying to encourage more Stinger shoppers from Portland to come down to Salem and buy from Power KIA! (Or maybe they are just totally clueless.)

i have to admit, i'm impressed by the air bubble on the roof. That takes some skill.

It's part of the aero package that they left off .

That's a godawful, lame, abomination.

The Stinger is a great car. This kind of juvenile, wannabe treatment only detracts from it.

Way to go, Ron Tonkin - NOT!!!​

EDIT Portland has been called "The Whitest City in America". Maybe this is the kind of look they were going for:

Oh my goodness!

It makes the "Rafa" ltd edition model look stylish. That's going to take some beating

Well, I guess if I should say something nice or not say anything at all... The vinyl coming from the front brake vents isn't the worst thing in the world, although I really don't care for the horizontal "speed lines" coming out of the vent itself. If someone took that concept, kept the vertical slanted gaps at the rear but left the rest as a gradient or some other design it might look kind of decent. Maybe still not my cup of tea but decent.

there isn't enough bleach in the u.s. for me to wash out my eyes. and, quite honestly, the only part of that "kit" that i do not find offensive is the "carbon fiber" surround where the plate goes. the mrs actually likes the stinger sticker on the back, but only if they removed the rest of the badging. love her to death, but her tastes are odd. hell, she chose me to be her husband. I wouldn't choose me.

Portland has gained a reputation as a liberal, hipster-doofus town. However, it's also a pervasively and insidiously racist place.

In fact, Oregon was founded as a Jim Crow state; for many years it was illegal for Blacks to live there. The Racist History of Portland, the Whitest City in America

Even now, minority and poor White sections of east Portland are characterized by a lack of services, including unpaved streets and food "deserts" - absence of grocery stores and restaurants (except McDonalds).

Minorities in Portland are constantly hassled, including on public transit where last year a white supremacist stabbed two people to death after they attempted to convince him to stop harassing two young Muslim women. The Ammon Bundy group's occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Southeast Oregon in early 2016 is another example.

Some Demographics:
Portland - 72% White
Salt Lake City - 66% White

A lot of people are surprised when they first hear about this.

[davebo]

Whoever buys that will probably end up on a less-cool-than-us Stinger forum
