In my OPINION! It’s the BEST Kia vehicle ever made. I’m a Genesis fan and owner and I still look in awe when I see a GT2 Stinger. Should be one of the last of the collectible cars in America

LOTS of room under the hatch. That reminds me, do I need to shoot an episode about changing your own wheels and tires?

Brian, how does this compare to a BMW M440xi Grand Coupe? They appear to be very similar based on specifications, including the curb weight, power output, and four-door design with a rear hatch. Of course, I'm sure there is quite a price premium for the BMW (you did not mention the price of this Stinger Tribute, but the BMW M440xi Grand Coupe goes for somewhere in the mid $60k range, USA pricing.

I loved but sold my Stinger GT1 rwd to get an IS500.. it was a fun car. I tried to get a GT2 AWD for my wife but she opt'd for a Q50 Red Sport. It's not a racecar but great for cruising or daily driver. Too bad it got a bad rap cause "But, but it's a Kia"

I went back and forth between a Stinger and the other outgoing VW Arteon. Having my previous car being totaled in a accident and needing a new car quick I happened upon a 22 Arteon SEL R-Line, I bought that. Driving both the Stinger is the more engaging car to drive and the VW is the more practical/plush everyday car. Both are great vehicles and sad that two fun non SUV options that have SUV levels of space and practicality are going away!

I’ve never driven an Arteon, so I can’t comment. Still, the Stinger is a hidden gem.

Another car that I thought was really cool, but proves (again) that what I value isn't popular with the masses. What was pricing on this? Seems like when I was studying them, prices were in the mid to upper 50'S. (USD), which is more than I want to put into a car right now. Aside from the hatch, that kind of puts it in Acura TLX Type S territory. I don't see many of those on the road either. Saw an A-Spec a few weeks ago, but assume that had the 2.0L 4 cyl.

What an absolute garbage 🗑️ We shouldn’t have welcomed this KIA and let alone a goodbye. These are the cars that is keeping people poor in Canada. Our income to debt ratio is at the highest in Canada because of the poor quality cars we are constantly bombarded with. Bring back those GMs 3.8 V6, Ford Taurus from the 90s and even the Chrysler K cars…and the old Hondas from 80s and 90s. Nowadays even Hondas are building garbage with engine and transmission issues.
