Didn’t even swing that 5.0. That is the only thing that car is made for.

KIA doesn't know its customer base and has priced the vehicle in no man's land. Far too overpriced for the cats that purchase KIA product and the brand has ZERO clout/brand panache for the German clientele.

Underpowered car on a winding road > a powerful car in a straight line

What does your guys commute consist of? Everywhere i go its mainly a straight shot for like 20 miles with slight turns not 1 winding road or hairpin turn. That being said the only way im going out the way to drive is if i plan on kicking my 50 sideways.

Agreed. The stinger might be the better car, but the reality is people will buy the established names.

You need to get one of these and get the Torque app for your phone:https://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-OBD...756289&hash=item4b446c6b4b:g:tNoAAOSwlY1ZHl5Q
That said with the car being newer and lower mileage, bad fuel and/or gas cap not being seated correctly could trigger the CEL. Can only speculate without not actually having a code to work with.

Looks like the stinger guys are doing this badge swap to get rid of the ugly Kia emblem. Looks a lot better I’d probably do the same if I had one.

i think that badge is an option.
i remember seeing press/show cars having that badge instead of the kia one

at the end of the day, I'm glad Kia made the Stinger.
If it doesn't sell well, I hope it doesn't deter them from making more of them.

All of the ones I’ve seen have the Kia badge. They also swap the front badge to the Korean Kia badge which looks a lot better too

besides copping one of those OBD II scanners off ebay, you can go to autozone and they do free CEL checks

I was just about to comment this. I did this when my mustang threw a cel. I pretty much knew what it was but wanted to make sure. Trip to auto zone confirmed
