So much "meh", "ehhhhh", and "uhhh" in one Dodge Charger lighted vehicle.

Aww. I love it. Especially in yellow.
Then again the modern Charger is one of my favorite vehicles that I'll likely never try to buy, so...

These things look so damn good in person. Yet I just can’t get excited about them beyond that. I may drive one in a year or two when they all start getting repossessed and making their way via auction to CarMax . Kia may have come a long way, but their US dealers.... still have a long way to go.

I get a GT2 press car in September and I am quite excited... I might be learning how to do donuts *allegedly * ...

I like this. Yet I'd still rather have a Kia Forte5 SX

No yellow :(

Perhaps not, but the Stinger is a big boi, and I don't see myself owning a vehicle that bigly.

Looks good and sounds decent for a v6 but cheaped out certain things. It’s a budget SS or 6.4l charger because you couldn't afford a V8

Pretty hot color for a 2012 Optima

Y es. They. Have.
A remarkable improvement, in not that much of a timeframe... By auto industry standards anyway.

Except have their dealers changed at all yet? Going to a Kia dealer shows people what is wrong with the auto industry and what tesla gets soooo damn right.

Nope. Still awful. I will say though, I had equally bad experiences at the multiple Ford dealerships I was at recently...
Come ooooon Tesla dealership model

I can't get snarky with the owner of not one, but TWO Mercedes' in actual colors. You win this one

I’m not putting down the Stinger itself, I just think they were way too cautious on the design. Seems to be the thing lately, either boring/derivative or batshit weird/ugly. Too much resemblance to the prior Optima (which isn’t a bad looking car, much better than the overstyled mate Sonata), especially in the greenhouse:
My modern car is a mild darkish blue, unusual if not exciting, but the sky blue fintail does seem to get people going now and then. Those colors should come back.
I’ve seen kind of a pastel grey Stinger in town, not bad.

Orange Stinger > Yellow Stinger for me anyday

I really want a yellow car or motorcycle so I can call it the “Banana Hammock”.

I remember before this came out and there was just press photos. I was worried the styling was a bit too close to the Optima. Then I saw one at a dealer floor of all places. All my worries were nuked from orbit.

It is obnoxiously long in deed, as long as a Cayenne, and as hard to park except for the width
