The person that took these thought they were Stinger prototypes, which clearly isn't the case. But, what could they actually be? Hmmm...[confused]

Oh no, didn't take it that way at all, sorry if I sounded defensive or something. :) I'm genuinely glad it comes with remote start since that's now one of my Must Haves. I know this is nitpicking but the ONLY thing I don't like about their and Hyundai's remote start is it flashes the hazards...

Ok I should have done my homework; I just saw a review of the 2018 Kia Rio, and it has remote start using the Uvo app, so, looks like you are right. I mean, surely if they offer it for the Rio, the Stinger will have it too. Such a cool feature; literally works anywhere in the world (the...

Lol....good way to put it. I don't think any of them specifically state they were US-spec, and this was from weeks back, so, I'd bet they're KDM. Even if they're US-spec, Kia seems to be making final tweaks all the way to start of production so stuff could still change. But yeah, it's just...

Honestly I didn't learn anything new in any of the articles..lol. They basically mirror what we've heard in other first drives. Good reads though, all mostly positive and flattering: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2018-kia-stinger-sleek-5-door-punches-above-its-weight-hard/...

Funny you ask; I just read on IG that Kia is loaning a Stinger to Keen Design for SEMA:

I'm wondering if it will have remote start too. I know the K900 has it through UVO, so my hope is they'll offer for the Stinger too. My current car has it (through the fob) and it's spoiled me; having a remote start app would be even better.

I'm seeing brand new G80 sports marked down as low as $47k on autotrader. For buyers willing to give up a little sport for luxury and pampering, that makes the G80 a better buy.

Personally the Stinger offers just about everything I'm looking for and there's not much I would change...except one thing; to me, the gauge cluster is pretty bland. If I had the power to change it I would make it all digital, like some of its competition. If you could change something, what...

The larger, 7 seat Santa Fe uses the 3.3l V6; the smaller Santa Fe Sport carries 4 cylinders. I'll never understand why they didn't just keep calling it what it technically is, the Vera Cruz.

Exactly, it sounds so good I wonder why they bothered. It's funny though, that engine is just so relaxed and stress-free that it doesn't seem like it's hitting 60 in under 5 secs, or 100 under 11.

The first car I tuned (Genesis coupe V6) was NA and the tune turned it into a totally different car. With the tune and I/E, I picked up about 60 max HP, and it drove so much better it was like a new engine had been installed. But I do agree, you get SO much more for less with a tuned turbo...

If these numbers are accurate, the GT and 2.0 must have seriously restricted exhausts:

We've seen GT acceleration runs, but this one has a twist; the driver did two runs to 100, with artificial engine sound on (enhanced, through speakers) and then off (or, minimized): https://youtu.be/uvIlbociTC8

Strictly anecdotal, but, I remember when the Genesis coupe came out, Hyundai dealers were charging over sticker; I remember some attempting 5k over. It's unfortunate, but it happens with something new and hot. I want to say Kia dealers here tried the same thing with K900 when it first hit, so...

Microbiologist here. Greatest irony ever, considering I'm a germaphobe and have OCD as bad as Monk...lol

One of these, for 17 more days, then I will eagerly return it to ford, and impatiently wait for the Stinger....

Interesting article, it looks as if they are showing love to the US. They're (STILL) working on a louder exhaust, tweaking the premium stereo for more bass, and special editions are coming next year.... https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/kia-is-still-tuning-the-stinger-for-us-loud-loving-americans/

Yep; yours truly posted that and takes blame for not knowing the whole story..lol
