Kia Stinger.... Theyre passing Nissan.

SOUTHZZ · 02-21-2017, 04:40 PM

I own several vehicles(2 Nissans:33&34 ,a vintage Lotus,L Rover,Kia Soul for utility use).

The original KIA GT Stinger looked fantastic-live near the U.S. Kia plant.

However,as would have it,a concept most times does not make it into production.
The latest Stinger pics I have seen look--like everything else out there-disapointed!

How long before z35 guys are swapping z33 Brembos in?

At this point, I wish Nissan would just hurry the hell up and get the z35 out. By the time it does come out, the power train will already be several years old, so I wonder what they'll do to keep it fresh. It sounds like the concept will come out this fall, and then what, another year before its for sale? Sigh.

probably summer 2018 -19 when they start hitting dealer lots with huge markups, so if you want a car with all the bugs worked out and no dealer mark up you are looking at 2021 at the earliest.

For what ever reason ever Japanese mfg is getting out of the low cost sports car market. (I suspect is has to do with future global emissions regulations not allowing for a lot of people buying high performance cars) The KIA stinger looks great BUT the pricing is way up there, 33k starting for the 2.0L, for the fully loaded version I was told, at the NY Auto show, close to 50k. I think also it's a fatty weighing in at 4k lbs won't make it a good turner.

It's no secret they're trying to be the pioneers of soulless EV cars... so, they don't want to put money into costly sports car R&D. If you look at it. At minimum Toyota is working with other companies to absorb the cost of putting out a sports car.

Nissan lamo's help Mercedes with their suspension in cars like the A45amg and the amg gts/gtr. Instead of building sports cars with Benz, in turn Nissan makes sport crossovers.

Bitches... they make me sick already.

I am not going to lie. I really want the Stinger GT. Don't get my wrong, I still love my Z but manual tranny in LA traffic has taken its toll on me. If I were to total my Z today, I would walk out of KIA stealership with the new Stinger GT tomorrow. Very impressed and pleased with KIA stepping up there game. Japanese should be worried.
