Also has a liftback/hatch, allowing much more cargo space. You can get it with RWD or AWD.

If you don't like the 'Kia' name then de-badge it or swap to the Korean Stinger badge lol.

The Stinger is a Dork Box.
Killed In Action Stinger.

Try to find a Stinger GTS and do some drifting! Awesome value.

Not for me, only 6 cyl I could deal with would be a Ford GT.

The BS is strong in this thread, if you guys don't mind me saying so. Kia Stinger? Come on, what's next, a Prius Prime with its awesome 133 MPGe fuel economy, "dramatic styling" and "futuristic interior"?

OP clearly stated he wants a dependable V8 daily driver, let's keep this on track

I’ll take a paid for C5 over a Kia Stinger (at 40k US) any day. Nope no Kia for me.

OP - stick with the C5 until she does you wrong. Make the decision when you need to, and enjoy her while she lasts.

Lol come on people. Let's not get snobby over a Kia when we only drive a Chevy.

Not even a Porsche 911???

I'd go with either Scat Pack, then. You really don't have much choice since you're limiting yourself to V8s only. You could maybe look at a used Mercedes with a V8 as well.

IMHO I wouldn't have two Camaros, especially of the same generation.

A Stinger is one for the heap. Its just another foreign throwaway like the Japanese motorcycles.

Whats wrong with Chevy? They have a sh!tload of historic classics made throughout the years. Probably more than any other company. KIA Stinger😩

I'm not a Porsche fan, I know they are fast and perform well but its not for me. C5 Corvette is gone I sold it the other night. There is just something about the sounds, feel, smells of a big engine car. I'm driving my 12MPG SUV until I find something.

LT4Greg · 04-11-2020, 10:03 AM

paully, maybe consider a used 5th gen ZL1! The prices should be good for the 2013s and 2014s!

c4racer · 04-11-2020, 10:29 AM

how about a C6?
