In retrospect I still miss my SS sedan. It was just old and I wanted something different. The Stinger was one of the first cars I considered. Of course now they are 10 Grand off. Lol.

Hyundai/Kia went all out on this car and it showed. In the end paying $50k for a Kia doesn’t work. Probably why the V8 powered AWD K900 sold less than 1000 units.
The Kia Stinger sold 16.806 units in 2018 and is down 20% for 2019 despite it’s practicality.

When I realized I needed to get rid of my 2016 SS due to the shuddering A8, I also looked at the Kia Stinger (and the Audi A5). I bought another 2SS (with M6) because performance mattered more to me.
