We were also Pontiac enthusiasts until they killed off our favorite brand thus we're keeping our G8 GT forever. Our 2002 Formula was our first brand new car. It currently has 72K miles and will also stay within our household until we're gone.

I live in rural PA but still have no real need or desire for a 4x4. I'd rather have an extra performance car. Our G8 GT does fabulous in the snow with dedicated modern snow tires and it's a hoot to drive in the slop!! The Camaro handles like it's on rails. You get used to the visibility issues...

The point is... I was shopping RWD V6 Stinger's and ended up with a highly discounted RWD V6 Camaro. Being able to purchase a stick was just icing on the cake. The current Camaro isn't selling all that well in any format as I feel GM overpriced them out of the gate, but it is a fast...

Ummmm... the Kia Stinger I was also considering is also a V6!! V8 Camaro's cost $8500 above the more than capable 335HP V6. I already have the 460HP V8 in my Vette and 361HP V8 in my G8 GT so I'm certain I have all my bases covered, lol.

That is the new plan. I'll replace my beloved, yet aging Pontiac G8 GT with a used Stinger GT once the newness fades and pricing stabilizes.

I grew up in the snowy Pocono Mtns and learned how to get by just fine with RWD with dedicated modern snow tires so no need for AWD for me. Car was in Gettysburg PA. Sat for over 600 days for no apparent reason thus a fire sale at $12,167 off MSRP. It ROCKS!!

Whelp... I punted on a Stinger. There was just too much value in this highly discounted leftover 335HP V6 RS 2017 Camaro(with a stick) to buck up for a Stinger GT. This was $21,408 before TTL nicely optioned.

I stopped at Performance Kia in Moosic PA yesterday to first lay eyes on a Stinger in the metal. They have a $1500 mark-up for an in-house package that is essentially vaporware. They have two 2.0L AWD's in stock. My first in person opinion is the car does not have the gotta-have-it factor in...

I'm a bit over the PA border off RT 84. Will test drive a TT V6 RWD Stinger to see if surpasses my beloved 2009 Pontiac G8 GT.

Given the GT2 is priced similar to my C7 Corvette, I'll opt for the GT as the better overall value.

Congrats. Do you have a target delivery date?

We feel the same about our beloved 2009 G8 GT, also purchased new. ENJOY!!

In my case I do because my G8 GT is the only vehicle I own that will comfortably carry 4 or 5 adults long distance.

Keep in mind the SS has abysmal fuel economy. I still use my 2009 G8 GT as a daily driver and long distance road trip machine so FE matters to me. The Stinger may prove to be a great replacement though!

Let's hope those prices translate to the US market.

Since my 2009 G8 GT has 361HP, I'd have to opt for the TT V-6 so I'm not disappointed. Hopefully they don't overprice the V6 in RWD format.

I prefer the true thrill of RWD using my old school skills to navigate poor weather conditions whilst having a more affordable, less complex car that weighs less.

THANKS for the kind welcome! While the Chevy SS is a nice vehicle we much preferred the styling of our Pontiac G8 GT to the relatively mundane styling of the Chevy SS. Plus the SS was roughly $50k out the door, making it an easy decision to opt for $50k Corvette and just keep our G8 long term...

Dealers must NOT engage in this practice, especially since it's a Kia. I will not pay MSRP either. I will wait until after supply meets demand to consider purchasing.

Gotta agree with Bob Lutz, a more premium emblem is necessary. However it should not come with a more premium price.
