So it's like the Julia but $60k cheaper?

Sounds like Audi or Mercedes.

I really fucking want this thing to be good.

>Auto only

This has to be a joke, right?

>I want to manually shift my pigfat sports sedan

Said no one ever who actually bought one

More whores

>Crying about no manual

How much is this?

If it's 20k my Veloster will be traded in within a year.

35k up price tag according to the specs and media

Expect 40k+ for the engine/drivetrain combo you actually want.

>$40k
>Kia

Might as well get a CPO 335 or IS350.

What were they thinking?

>buying a 'sports' car
>automatic

Duel-clutch can shift in tenths of a second, faster than you can m8. And a good duel-clutch will rev-match and hold gears in Sport mode.

Duel-clutch is superior technolo/g/y.

It is when it's actually done right (looking at you Hyundai and Ferd)

>muh dual clutch!
>can't even spell it right

Most of the high end guys are going back to slushboxes for smoother shifts. Just learn to drive a manual cuccboi

>dual

But that's wrong you moran.

>comparing new car prices to used car prices
Cheaper than a new IS350 or 335i, that's what they were thinking.

There are no new 335i. Just sayin

330i or 340i then. The point is it's cheaper than its direct rivals, specs-wise.

>people never cross-shop new and used vehicles

They do and the Kia loses every time that happens.

Luckily no Korean cars ever sell for sticker, because people aren't that vested in them. Every Hyundai/ Kia has massive rebates on MSRP.

I think most people would rather buy a 340i with 5k miles than a kia and someone who would buy a new german car isnt going for a kia just because its cheaper.

this

6 months to a year after release you'll see Stingers on dealer lots being sold for $25-30k. It'll eat into Optima sales, but surely Kia already had forseen and planned for this.

This is the Korean strategy for right now. Make a "X" car that compares favorably to the real thing on the spec sheet, but then not in the real world, then give $5-10k rebates and discounts on the price to make up for it.

With a 3+L V6 and twin turbos, this thing must have about another 100hp in tuning potential right?

If you were thinking of buying one new, you don't belong on Veeky Forums
Buying new is the suckers game

>people unironically think this trash is going to be """"""""good""""""""

stop being autistic and get a german or japanese car instead

there are literally no excuses

>2910lbs in a hatchback with 316hp is bad

It looks pigshit, but it isn't

lmao look at this loser having a meltdown

>motortrend.com/cars/kia/stinger/2018/2018-kia-stinger-gt-track-drive-review/
If it doesn't cost $35k or less, it will fail. If they pull an Alfa Googliajulia and price it absurdly to compete with established sports/luxury cars, no one will buy it.

That's basically why I bought mine

>buying a sucky sucky ten dorrah me luv u rong time WMAFmobile

>that interior

It's faster than BMW's entire line-up outside of the $140k M4 GTS. I'm sure this car will be great, but there's no chance it'll be as fast as the Type R on a track.

Ya but the interior can't compete

I quite like the interior.
