Most of the hate probably comes simply from being a Kia or a Hyundai. Its hard to shake the cheap import car stigma.
Funny how similar the wheels are between the two.Climbing into a Stinger and driving one both on the streets and on Road America (in the wet too btw), I couldn't help but to think to myself "who in their right fluckin' mind would by an Audi A7 when this exists?" I mean unless you want the badge, sure. Fine. But if someone had their full size GT sedan dreams crushed by the starting prices of Audi's, BMW's, and Merc's, you owe it to yourself to look at the Stinger. Okay the front of the Stinger is a touch fussy, yes but I still think it looks better than an A7 especially the rear 3/4 view.
Probably a difference in taste. The A7 looks entirely way too stale for me. I like the silly aggression of the Kia. I look at an A7 and can't help but to think to myself what a lot of people probably though about drivers of C6 Vettes 12 years ago. "Old man's car with a Louisville Slugger up their butts."
I put up two pictures, one of an A7 and the Stinger side by side and asked which she liked better knowing she doesn't have a brand bias. She ultimately chose the Stinger.
Wife/girlfriend?
There's a Stinger regularly parked at the gym, I've looked at it pretty closely, there really is a ton of interesting details. Some are a little JDM-the-VTEC-kicked-in-Yo styled, but I like it better than the A7 ... now if you offered me an RS7, same price, well ...
Send me the dealer address asap. I can't find a 13% off from a BMW M340xi. I was looking at that car too. Since its just released the dealers are not budging even a tiny bit around Chicago area. BMW M340xi is probably the fastest non M BMW sedan out there. With just a JB4 tune the car puts down more than 400 whp. BMW estimates the 0-60 to be 4.1 seconds but the test results typically show couple of tenths faster in real life, which is amazing for a 4 door sedan.
Well...I mean the RS7 is like $130K isn't it? lolThere's a Stinger regularly parked at the gym, I've looked at it pretty closely, there really is a ton of interesting details.
