Getting excited about the 2021 Stinger

[MrMegadeth]

There's a new K5 here at the apartment looks really good in person.

Well, damn, the 2022 Stinger GT (2.5T) USDM version still has the stupid hood vents, Korean car blog showed it without in the KDM cars. I do think the car in the green is pretty sexy though.

Thank goodness they're updating the logo.

When you look up the word UGLY in the dictionary, it shows that new logo.

 

[MrMegadeth]

I don't love it but I like it better than the old but not as good as the E-logo or K-logo from Korea

 

[MrMegadeth]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dammit!

Kia has decided to only package the goodies I want (cooled seats, HUD, etc.) in the GT2.

I don't want to suffer the MPG hit everyday on the V6. I have motorcycles for speed. I want a competent GT style car without poor gas mileage in bumper to bumper 30 MPH traffic.

So now that the Stinger is out for me, I'm not suffering a thirsty car, I'm kinda liking the new Acura. Re-watched the Savage Geese on the new TLX.

Kinda like what Caddy did with the new cars also. Or, maybe I'll just buy the 2019 G70....

interesting pricing strategy by Kia between the US and CAD markets. seems that CAD gets much better pricing for the higher trims. we do not get the lower GT-line or RWD trims anyways. the top level trim in USD is actually MORE EXPENSIVE than the top level trim in CAD, and the US doesn't even get the Elite Suede trim. that is haywire by a long shot based on exchange, etc. here's a review which breaks it down:

I guess Canada forfeited covid vaccine imports to get the unique Stinger instead. Cool. LOL.
