Hello everyone,

A few days ago I watched SEMA Walkaround video and found this amazing vehicle. I've never heard about Stinger before SEMA, so I'm here to find more info about it and maybe get some insides

Looking forward to chat with ya guys

Cheers

SEMA is a place of discovery. Welcome friend and we hope you find what you need here.
Though I do agree, Kia could advertise the Stinger more and they shouldn't have much problem selling such an affordable and well balanced car.

Hey there, welcome to the forum!

What walkaround video did you watch? I couldn't find any good and long video from SEMA... Can you send a link to that video if possible?

 

[Jordan2]

Yea, for sure!

I watched this AutoGuide video. It's pretty long and they have a wide selection of cars there, check it out:

Definitely some cool cars in that video but no Stinger.

Here is one of it drifting with a bit of a walk around and some in depth looks...

And now I will actually include the video...

SEMA was the best thing to happen to the Stinger from the way I see it. Give it a few months and you guy will see how much the aftermarket loves the Stinger, already getting a lot of interest from those groups. Too bad it takes a car maker like Kia to come around and do this and not Toyota, Nissan or some other brand that HAD the chance.

That's a nice video. You can find even more good stuff about Stinger in this "Video" category

HAhaha, I sent the wrong link LOL. That's actually what I meant to send, same youtube channel

Come to think about it, Kia should have built a higher performing Stinger just for this display, similar to what you see professional drifters have. People need to see the potential of these and/or have a unique display to market it. Surely it would be a great way to spend $75,000 on just the car itself.

I think their idea was to show what basic model can do on the track. Drifters are the smaller target market for Kia (IMO) and usually, they don't need to see a car in this way to detect its potential. Hence they did it for the main target market and I think it was pretty good.
