What should KIA do to improve upon the Stinger for their next gen model?

[KamikazeGT]

What do you guys think KIA should do to improve upon the current model for the next?

Here's my list.
1. Stiffer suspension
2. Lose the fake hood vents
3. Performance exhaust option
4. Spoiler option
5. Black out option instead of chrome
6. Sunshades for side and rear
7. More interior trim options
8. Resolve rattle noises
9. Better brakes that don't squeak
10. More wheel options

Interesting. There are several things you listed that I either haven?t dealt with (rattles), or don?t want (stiffer suspensions). I like the way the suspension is now because I drive into downtown DC about 2 days a week and with all the potholes, this car handles them like a champ, while being stiff enough to still enjoy corners in, if a little heavy.

1. Sort out the e-Shifter so that it can?t be accidentally bumped into Neutral.
2. Lighten the car up a bit if possible in terms of maintaining the cost.
3. Rear heated and cooled seats.
4. Bring the US the wireless phone charging option, and the 360 camera option that other countries have.
5. Improve quality of dashboard trim.
6. More trim options (although I love the trim I have - red nappa on black, but they do have too few options).
7. Improve fuel economy if possible without reducing performance. If not, don?t worry about it.

I can?t really think of anything else given the great price. This has almost everything I want in a car despite driving far higher end brands in the past.

Advertise more!!!!!

Make the stock stereo a bit better. It's very lackluster. My Mercury Milan stock stereo sounds better
In turn, make the Harmon Kardon system outstanding. Something akin to the Lexus Mark Levinson system.

Upgrade the quality of the brake rotors for the Brembo system.

Performance variant. A BMW M, Mercedes AMG, Audi "S" line, and Porsche GTS fighter. Ooooohh, maybe a small TT V8!

Allow the dashboard tablet to dim a bit more. It's very bright compared to everything else at night

I always thought they did a decent job marketing the Stinger, way better than the G70

Really? I saw a couple commercials at the beginning of the year starting with the Super Bowl ad, but since all I see are commercials for their SUV's, CUV's and the new Forte. I did see a commercial recently that showed all the cars in white and the Stinger was front and center. I've only seen it once since then

This 1000%


Here's my list:
1. I'd like to see different wheel options.
2. Interior trim selections.
3. Better reverse camera resolution.
4. Maybe a rear wiper option.
5. Upgrade seats like Recaros.
6. Ditch the door lock/unlock button in favor of touch sensors.
7. Virtual cockpit.
8. Offer a true 3 zone climate control.
9. Add a CD/DVD player.
10. Need more memory seat saving slots. Two is not enough.

Number 6 is a very good one. It?s really annoying moving from a car that has this to one that has the button. Much easier this way.

They are making more of a marketing push on social media and local events.
