    Who's getting mud guards on their Kia Stinger?

    I thought they looked really good on the Q50 when I checked it out, but they were body colored.

    Remote Start!

    Lexus too.

    Kia Stinger 360 Camera

    Not liking how aggressive that guy was with the drill. I also don't like how the SVM "integration" seems to cover up a third of the standard backup view. That said, there are multiple after-market SVM/360 cameras available, and they seem to integrate via RCA inputs on the OEM head unit...

    Kia Stinger Owners - Which US State do you live in?

    Same with me...Virginia. Sorry!

    Sting-err

    I get it for rental cars, but do you guys routinely forget which side the fuel filler door is on your personal vehicles?

    Stinger December sales figures

    Okay, comparing some other sources, that is US-only, although I'm not sure if the figures are dealer or consumer deliveries. I suspect it's dealer deliveries, since they are technically just wholesalers, and consumer sales would be tallied by each dealership's corporation.

    Stinger December sales figures

    Interesting, but what's the source and scope on this: US only, worldwide? Is that distribution to dealers, or actual customer sales...maybe the column headers reveal more info?

    Kia Stinger on fire

    Kia should be doing this. Maybe they'll thank me for debunking #fakenews about their product. I only want assurance of a 360 cam retrofit option, and I'll buy a GT2 right now.

    Kia Stinger on fire

    And here's the original highway fire video...of a Chevy...from April: https://youtu.be/hcaaMx7IRBk Also, it appears the (re)poster of the video that started this thread has made it semi-private now. It's still accessible by direct link, but not in search or in the poster's uploads section.

    Kia Stinger on fire

    The original, pre-release Stinger fire video (smoky engine compartment) has the same text as the second paragraph in this new video, so apparently there is a copy/paste situation going on. I suspect only the Chevy Malibu reference is legit, and the other is attributable to a sloppy YouTube...

    Kia Stinger on fire

    From Google translate: I have to wonder if that is just a copy/paste error for the Stinger part, especially given the "image source/anchor" part. Maybe someone with better eyes for the structural lines than I can discern recognizable features.

    What annoys you about your Stinger?

    You have to move the blades to the service position with a specific ignition/wiper switch sequence. It's in the manual under maintenance.

    Consumer Reports 2018 Kia Stinger Quick Drive

    He just seemed to be saying it looked like a conventional PRND shifter, but putting it in park required pressing a separate button. This is becoming more common as shift-by-wire electronics are installed in more cars, so it's nothing unique to the Stinger. Seems odd that a CR reviewer would...

    BMW 430i Gran Coupe vs. Kia Stinger

    The 3-series should be getting a new platform/design for MY 2020, but I think the 4-series is a year or two behind the 3s.

    Official Kia Stinger VR Experience

    You can get part of the VR experience by watching on a phone, and rotating yourself around as the axis. Even on the computer you can use the mouse to drag the field of vision around the same axis. My point, though, was really just that it's a digital (cartoon) Stinger interior, with real...

    Official Kia Stinger VR Experience

    I didn't really understand the point of this new marketing fluff. The YouTube videos of real drivers taking it around the track or on review test drives are much more interesting than watching a CGI dashboard.

    How many people are waiting for the 2019 Kia Stinger due to missing features?

    Surround View Monitor (360? camera). I considered voting the "if a good deal" option, but I seriously doubt we'll see any deals until well into the '18 roll out, which will just make me want to double-down on holding out for a '19.

    Share your Kia Stinger phone mounts

    Interesting product idea, although sales would be limited to enthusiasts willing to perform vent disassembly. The reviewer's commentary while struggling with it himself is kind of funny. The Stinger also has much less room between the vents, but should be easy enough to manufacture around...

    Edmunds compares Kia Stinger with Audi A5, S5 Sportbacks

    That is really bizarre, but I guess typical of media sharing today: it's an Associated Press article, re-published by the Washington Post, about two separate Edmunds reviews.

    Share your Kia Stinger phone mounts

    Great thread idea. I was looking at the round vents, and thinking I probably wouldn't be able to use either mount I currently own. Definitely need owners to weigh-in!
