    Kia Stinger spotted in SoCal

    You all know I was being ironic right? Here in Aus our undercoat at the panel beaters is nearly that colour....

    Carbon fiber inserts in place of exterior chrome

    Thanks for that - just "wasted" hours on youtube - fascinating.....anyone know how durable it is? I see its being put on wheel rims so I assume it must be ok?

    Carbon fiber inserts in place of exterior chrome

    I like it on the exterior trim but the whole centre console???? Each to their own I suppose..... Where/how was it done?

    Big Decision Time.... Price Is In......

    So disappointed for you. I'm waiting to see what it actually looks like in the flesh, what my trade is worth and what the change-over price (maybe even looking at different finance options) before I pull the trigger. I do feel that I've been touched up significantly and there is a degree of...

    Both go over $110k with all the bits.

    We're in Australia so we're quoting AUD.

    Big Decision Time.... Price Is In......

    "sub $60k RRP" is just pure marketing bullshit - maybe that's what you pay to keep it in their yard and not "drive it away". Maybe I'll cancel my order and go back in 2 months to see what I can get it for when they're finding them hard to shift. Flashback to 2008 and I seem to remember...

    Big Decision Time.... Price Is In......

    I'm......um, shocked, disappointed,,maybe even a little pissed off. I suspect they're taking massive advantage of the popularity. Its a big price lift and a big ticket for a Kia and an untested one at that. Contemplating my position....

    Stinger V6 now has an ECU tune available

    Pretty much the same as you guys - see the attached extract from one of the most straight forward warrantee statements I've ever read. The trouble is that it doesn't say who has to prove it was either the cause or contributor or not. So the scenario would likely be (especially with something...

    Stinger V6 now has an ECU tune available

    A friend of mine has one of those for his tricked up 130i. I did think (hear) mechanics could run diagnostics post an "event' and tell the different history of a number pf things. A mechanic for Toyota told me they could tell what fuel I'd used when I complained my TRD was running rough...

    Any idea what this does as far as warrantee is concerned?

    Blue Stinger GT on display at CA dealership

    Believe it or not we don't have large "motor shows" down-under anymore. The debut cars have pretty much already hit the market internationally and due to different seasons and transport issues we never really got the full gamut of concept cars either. The internet has kinda had an impact and...

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    I don't want it THAT bad.....gone with the deep chroma blue instead and, having seen it a few times on youtube, am over my disappointment and am very happy with the choice.

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    I wanted the Panthera Metal too - unfortunately in Australia we can't get the GT in that colour.....sucks!
