They tell you to reach for the stars but Im more interested in the cookies on top of the fridge.

I think this is more like the apple on the counter, to be honest. Not that impressed by the Stinger.

My magnets suck! They gave me five Q’s but only two U’s.

Is the Stinker actually a lift back? If not it’s a useless peice of garbage
Edit: it’s no Saab in terms of space, or load level, but it is indeed a liftback.

While I like the Stinger, I like the Insignia more.
Though I’m going to stick with the Superb, it gets a facelift next year so it should be interesting to see if it goes the way of the Octavia.
Pre and port facelift.

Indeed. Nothing bugs me more than a fastback that isn’t a liftback. Let’s hope that the next gen Mustang gets it right.

I’m truly looking forward to a four way test across the Stinger, Superb, Insignia/Commodore and Passat. Buggered if I know whether the Mondeo/Fusion is up for that but might as well chuck it in the mix.
The other comparison I’m looking forward to is the Commodore Tourer vs Octavia Scout vs Passat Alltrack vs H6 Outback...

There was a test done of the Insignia, Mazda 6 and Skoda Superb.
Verdict All of which leads to a top score for the Skoda Superb. It’s not the latest car here, but it’s still the most voluminous, with class as well as space to add to the cabin. That’s not to say that the latest Vauxhall Insignia is a loser, far from it. It handles better than the Skoda, drives quietly and efficiently and comes with an impressive amount of kit, including safety equipment as standard. That’s one of the places the Mazda 6 falls down on with low kit levels and the least amount of practicality. Superior performance coupled with low refuelling costs are impressive but not enough against this class of competition.
The Golf Alltrack would be better suited for a comparison against the Octavia Scout, being the same platform
But they did do a test of the Passat Alltrack and the Skoda Scout.
Verdict VW Passat Estate Alltrack (Winner): Outstanding all-rounder; comfortable, capacious and highly competent. Might seem gently pricey in this company, but for the Volvo.Skoda Octavia Scout Estate: VW parts-bin proletariat status shines through, especially on board, after dark. But great value for money, and a must for the badge-indifferent.Volvo V60 Cross Country: Not a driver’s car but, for comfort and practicality, incredibly well thought out, rugged and solid. As you’d expect, given the price tag…Subaru Outback: Subaru’s ongoing schizophrenia issues made metal, and comprehensively outclassed here. Manual a better drive, but not available on more powerful petrol variant.
It would be good to see them compared to what Australia has to offer.

I hope your serious because I’d love to get an owners perspective on one of these.

Seriously, do you know if Kia have any plans to make a manual version ?

There’s a manual 2.0t for the Genesis G70 so I don’t see why that wouldn’t appear for the Stinger 2.0t.

So you can only get manuals for the base models?
That means there’s a gap in the market for Hyundai/Kia...
Wobbles, that’s where you come in! Go and make a megapost about some alternate reality where the market for cheap-ish manual sports cars still exists.

Excellent! In my creepiest Mr Burns impersonation.
Yeah the Australian suspension tuning and feature packaging is going to be key here...but it’ll have to wait until the new year I reckon before it all falls out.
