Never thought that I'd be seeing a Kia compete for the best drivers car of the year. The Stinger has taken many by surprise, offering better balance than several of the big brands that it competes with. Personally I think what Kia has delivered here is nothing short of impressive, and with future revisions I can see it securing itself against much more expensive alternatives. Its going to be up against some tough competitors this year however.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Honda Civic Type R
BMW M5
Audi TT RS
McLaren 720S
Ford Mustang GT
Aston Martin Vantage
Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Its great to see the Stinger getting proper recognition from Motortrend, despite its less than stellar sales numbers out of the gate. I knew this competition was a bit of a longshot considering the class of vehicles we're seeing, but its a solid foundation for Kia to build upon.
