You and Chariotoflove, off the top of my head. I know there are more. It’s the most prolofic case I’ve ever seen of enthusiasts saying “Me want car!” And then actually buying the car.
Where were you for the Pontiac G8?!
All you Sedanners are crazy, but I support your enthusiasm.

You mean like the FiSTs and FoSTs around here?

My mom has always driven the utility vehicle among my parents, but since my dad bought his XC60, my mom wants to get something sportier than her current 2005 Acura MDX. She has at various points in the past talked about liking hatchbacks, and she also doesn’t like having a snobby badge attached to her car.
The only reason she has an MDX is because the Honda Pilot at the time did not offer seat memory. She has a bad back and really needs her seat dialed in so the memory is more than just a “nice-to-have” for her.
I told my dad he should take her to check out the Stinger, Regal, and Arteon. If she got a Stinger it probably wouldn’t be a GT, but still, a Stinger and an XC60 would be a nice little fleet.

I thought chariot had a K900....
For the G8... well, I was too young to drive back then (2008) plus, I doubt those were sold here...

Hey,

The Regal GS seems like a great car! if your mom is not exactly a speed racer i’d stick to front wheel drive...
But if she prefers feeling pushed rather than pulled in a car: Stinger.
![]() 02/28/2018 at 14:09 |

That is not a stinger, but please continue....

excellent...enjoy your car!
We need to spam oppo like the e90 owners did for so long, but no longer is the throne theirs!

I’ve always said it, Front Wheel Drive is not to be trusted.

Just wait, the Corvette Automotive Republic (that’s right, CAR) is building its forces up.

we have twice as many turbos... but you do have LS’....
The fighting shall be fierce!
![]() 02/28/2018 at 14:18 |

You technically have 0 x more turbos than most Corvettes.

She is not particularly tuned in to how driving feels or things like which wheels are driven. If she got a Regal it wouldn’t be a GS.

![]() 02/28/2018 at 14:21 |

we have, per car, an amount that could be best described, despite the numerous pieces that conform the assembled part, two more turbos than the corvettes

I will accept that. Math is a weird thing.
![]() 02/28/2018 at 14:23 |

If they do a lot of highway driving, she might also enjoy the 2.0 stinger... I must say that this v6 is very much overkill (even for me) and that the stinger is great at cruising, just be sure to get the electronic dampers whose effects, if perhaps subtle, are important. Here in Mexico you can get a “Everything but the v6 and the brembos” version of the stinger with all of the luxuries of the GT.

That is a very pretty m3... but I’m not defecting the Kia army!

Math kills. But it’s also beautiful.
Ever since I started studying to become an engineer i’ve come to worship symmetry and circles.

Pretty sure there’s more than the 50hp 1300 in there.. Sounds good though.
![]() 02/28/2018 at 14:29 |

oh... well.... I am lost... since it’s vw i’d think that they fit a vr6 but... it’s too big and it sounds very v8-y

Props to you for putting your money where your mouth is. And thanks for creating used Stingers for the rest of us

We’re only one ECU tune and wider tire set away from it though...

Look, it could go one of two ways:
Kia succeeds in becoming a more luxurious brand and the stinger isn’t a sales flop because of their overzealous marketing and in 5 years Stingers will retain Audi like depreciation (50% of value held or higher)
The stinger is a sales flop because no one really needs a 240hp (or 365hp) sedan with unproven luxury features and it doesn’t quite hang on in materials quality with the Germans, as such in the short term depreciation will be incredible.
It shall be seen.

More fun, no v8.. those are bored out vw flat 4s, this one is 2276 up from 1600. Plus another Stinger..

Jesus! that’s a lot of boring. What numbers are they getting?

You’re fine with me as long as you don’t start acting like the Twingo people.

Oppo has gone from fisting to stinging.
This ought to help our google searches

*A wild Chariotoflove apears*
Some are saying you have a stinger too, is that true?
I thought it was only one person.
But we all have a little twingo in us...hon hon hon....
![]() 02/28/2018 at 14:51 |

Well, naturally everyone starts from the front and must end at the rear.
Rear wheel drive of course...

I do not have even a tiny bit of Twingo in me.
No Stinger for me yet. I do have a Kia lux sedan though. I think we look alike to outsiders.

You’ve got two more years of daily driving an E90 in the PRD succumbs of authoritarian Mexico City.... thus, you couldn’t come to my castle anyway.
