From Acura to....
... a 2022 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD in Panthera Metal w/ red interior package. Bought it back in May w/ 7 miles and it now has about 3,400 miles on it. Front end covered in Xpel Ultimate Plus and the whole vehicle ceramic coated w/ GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra. Windows tinted to 5% all around with the windshield having 70% ceramic tint. Bought Tuxmats for the front and rear as well as a JLT catch can. Traded in my 2007 TL Type-S that had about 125k for this. Kia's dealership experience left a lot to be desired but this car is a fantastic driver's car. It's powerful, practical and comfortable.

Those Stingers look like nice cars. I thought a manual was available in those though? I just checked and they're not. Oh well, nice looking car ya got there.

BEATUIFUL!
I rented a 2020 GT2 Stinger from Turo and drove it from NJ to Mass (visiting family). It felt similar to the 2011 Optima we had. The power was great and it sounds amazing. We got a lot of thumbs up and a few times we've stopped (had our dog and kitten with us) we were told "what kind of car is that?!" or "Nice stinger!". Enjoy it!

I strongly considered one (2.0T) but it was right when they came out & the deals on them were non-existent.

Thanks.
Thanks. I loved how my KBP had so much flake and this color on the Stinger is the same.

Thanks. Pre-pandemic you could get one for a few grand or better under MSRP but that’s long gone now (just like everything else).

Very nice! I really like the Stinger. I'm sub'd to a few YouTubers that have really gotten some amazing performance out of them when modded. The catch can is a great first mod. Any others planned?

Thanks. Redesigned for this year’s GT1 and GT2 trims. They seem to be hit or miss with the Stinger crowd but I like them.

New wheels look good, but prefer the prior GT wheels, personally.
