So how yall feelin about this Kia Stinger

[King Sun]

Ghibli drivers are the worst. I can smell the insecurity seeping from their cars from here.

Nikkas in The Coli look up to the Ghibli as some sort of 'look Ma we made it' status symbol when it's just a Chrysler 300 wrapped up in Italian leather and badges.

Also a coworkers Mom just purchased a Levante and he was telling me how much of a piece of shyt it is. After only a month there are already mysterious clicks, clunks and various other noises coming from in and around the cabin. They've also had 2 check engine lights that needed to be reset.

I can't speak on the last part but the first two paragraphs are bullshyt. Online in general people talk shyt about the Maserati esp the ghibli fukk you talking about. I think I'm the only one that says folks outside don't really say shyt. Online cats say all this it's a 300 but irl cats don't dare open their mouths to say such to the actual driver of the car even if they have a better car. Ime its cats driving Kia type cars offline talking the most stuff.

hot garbage just like the rest of their fleet.

Of course I wouldn't. Just like I wouldn't tell someone that I didn't like their shirt or sneakers.

You're different because I've definitely heard people tell people they didn't like their car, sneakers, etc. It was in a similar manner to this but just offline. Offline though its harder to say that even about a ghibli if you pushing a civic and that's why IMO you don't hear it as often offline. Now if y'all both got nice cars it don't sound like you hating but just like you dont like the car for you.

My last 3 cars were/are a Lexus GS350, CLS63 AMG and a BMW M2.

I could get easily into a Ghibli. If it wasn't a Chrylser 300.

I chose the M2 over a M3/M4 because to me it's not about flossin'. It's about so much more. And the Ghibli is GARBAGE all around.

Damn!!

I love how Maseratis look but I've always regarded them as cars you shouldn't buy unless you have the money to buy another...

You in the minority of trash talkers my man. You know most dudes pushing 06 accords talking shyt. You seem like a driving type of dude. M, amg, s type cars in general are cool but since I'm driving in the city most of the time when I drive I don't need all that. We all into different stuff for different reasons. A few cats at my gym have a Maserati they are cool to me. Only one has a ghibli but he gets props for it when we out and about. The other cats have a levante and GT.

I've been kinda saying this for 5 years or so, Kia makes a very solid vehicle but the price points on their vehicles shouldn't pass the 40k mark on the window sticker. Once you enter that 50k mark, yes Kia provides great value for the money but Kia's demographic has gotten a lot younger, you're talking about value based millenials and budget conscious family vehicles. At 50k you're competing with the upper level Infiniti's, Beamers, Mercedes and Audis. I've driven the Cadenza when it first dropped and considered a K900 but didn't go with either because while the actual interiors and tech were nice, the driving was blah. If Kia was smart they would just spend that time jazzing up the Cadenza or maybe making a limited edition with a twin turbo V6 and leave it at that. The Stinger is a very nice car and it's loaded with value but people who buy 50k cars want to be seen in some way or another and not in a Kia.

Power-to-weight ratio, it's pretty good, the 365 HP version that is.
However, the big problem is for $50,000, it's a dude's sports car. Of course you can win off the line against other cars that cost more.
But looks wise... well... it's not a panty dropper.

 

[unit321]

Does Kia even have a sport car like Hyundai

No, the Stinger is their first sports sedan car.

 

[AlwaysLurkin]

Stock Kia doing 0-60 in 4.6 seconds..thats muscle car territory


I honestly think this might be the best car out right now performance and looks wise...I'd buy one in a few years when it's much cheaper

So clean

Bold is all I'm trying to say in these threads because all that Kia is nice is cool but outside of the net you don't see most who can cop 50k or better cars agreeing with the online logic. Like you said they want to be seen in one way or another and not in a Kia. Its no different to me than cats that cop them fast amg, M cars that are driving in the city in stop and go traffic for the most part. It might be a great driving experience but if you just going stoplight to stoplight for most of your driving whats really the point outside of having that badge that cats know?
