Brehs this 2018 Kia Stinger GT thoooooo...Kia got one

[JordanWearinThe45]

Arriving this fall, the Stinger will have three powertrain options on offer globally, but only two gas-fueled turbocharged engines for North America. The entry-level Stinger 2.0T is rated at 255 hp and 260 lb-ft, but our impressions are based on the GT, motivated by Kia's brawnier 3.3-liter twin-turbo, good for 365 hp and 376 lb-ft. Peak power arrives at 6,000 rpm, and peak torque between 1,300 and 4,500 rpm. All engines — including the not-for-America 2.2-liter diesel — are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles. Both rear-wheel drive and AWD configurations will be available.

The high-performance ventilated Brembo disc brakes –350 mm at the front, 340 mm at the rear –are quad-piston calipers in front, dual-piston rear. The Brembos are standard exclusively on the GT models, 2.0T Stingers will be fitted with an in-house developed setup. It should be noted that while the GTs will come with high-performance Michelin225/40 R19 and 255/35 R19 on the front and rear, the 2.0T Stingers are fitted with 225/45 R18 Bridgestone tires.

Not gonna front, that shyt sexy

This looks like the if you couldn't afford ____________ cop this special. I don't know how sexy it can be though because for it to be so IMO gotta have that prestige to go with it man. Looks are good but we know cars also normally get props added/subtracted by badge too. You know that's part of the whole package and the knockoff looking cars always seem to be missing something too.

Don't get me wrong if you don't have the budget for the bigger name cars this will do fine though.

I get what you saying. But for me, this would be a dope daily/something to pull the jetski with. I dont really care about props n what not with a daily driver.

I think we all care about props in one form or another whether we vocalize it or not. That's why you see cats mainly getting cars that reflect the circle their in. Also most people aren't fortunate to have a daily driver and a weekend car so I was gearing my statements towards how most people roll in regards to cars.

I also disagree with this being dope but if its dope for you do your thing. Its no way a Kia can be a dope car lol. They are cool a to b car but dope? Nah my man they are kia's.

That's obviously a dumb and faulty line of thinking. Most people at are followers, only the few out there, dare to be different and stand on their two feet.

I have different "circles", that range from Accord drivers to G63 & GT3 drivers and i'm comfortable w/ myself to chill in both with this Kia

I think its real life and if you think its dumb that is your right. I think we are all followers in some way. Its no coincidence that most people resemble their closest friends in dress, talk, hobbies, etc. If you even want to say that's just cats with similar intrest which I can roll with it still gets to my point most times people are going to line up with their closest friends on most things. I'm pretty sure you and your friends are similar in a lot of things but maybe I'm wrong.

Well my friend you are an outlier from my experience. The cats I roll with that have nothing but 6 figure cars aren't really rolling with cats in kias unless its Lebron lol. That's just what it is. Hell even on a regular car level the dudes that are into the civics, GTR, type cars aren't rolling with the Big body luxury car gang. I'm not saying they beefing are not friends at all I'm just saying ime you usually see people in different circles doing, getting things that are more popular in one group more than another. Maybe I'm doing a shyt job of explaining myself online and if I am my bad.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Man cars have so much damn power these days. Me in the 90's would have shyt himself to have a car like that.

Kia needs to do what Hyundai did and split off a luxury brand.

The refuse to though.

I ain't hating.
If the price stays the same, a couple years from now I'll be in a Kia Stinger

I have a Kia Optima Hybrid Ex right now, so maybe I'm a bit bias

Nah I get what your saying lol. I just do me bro, I could really get whatever car I want but I prefer my old schools and not spending money on lux cars to impress someone else. shyt don't matter to me like that. I'm not gonna lie, I have been eyeing those $500 Ghibli leases but I like having multiple toys
