Yes, this one. If it sells well already in Australia, the 5.0 is the obvious next step.

I wouldn’t get too excited. https://www.motor1.com/news/268634/second-generation-kia-stinger-undecided/

T he current models need to sell well. I have a feeling they will stop the 2.0T version soon

Also, for 2019 remember they were talking about the limited Atlantica edition in this color?

They cancelled it. I emailed them about it.

Why limit yourself to five litres?

SO wish they’d make that exact car without the extra splitters . But then again, I cannot afford to buy one new to justify them making it so I guess I can’t complain too much.

6.2 is a bored out 5.9 tho

5.0L V8 cummins would be the way to go.

Just a hunch but almost no one is buying it. I read on the forums (I think) the GT oversells the 2.0T by 5 to 1 or something similar. Speculation-Or they might streamline the 2.0T trims, remove base and RWD? Offer only premium AWD perhaps? They just sit and sit on the lots because now even the GTs are getting discounted to a loaded Premium 2.0T trim price.

Did you read this on the FP last week?

Not really, but I can only speak for Canada, the GT-Line trim literally only just appeared. AWD only of course up here.

6.2 > 5.0 and basically anything else IMO.

Well there’s the 5.0 Coyote...

Maybe they’ll end up doing the same in the US also then if sales don’t meet expectations. A GT-Line AWD only 2.0T and rest are all 3.3T GT variants. Who knows?

I’d buy it. Maybe, probably. A V8 Kia Stinger would be sweet.

Of course I haven’t driven a V6 stinger yet because Kia dealers are morons, so maybe I wouldn’t buy it.

All cars deserve the V8/Manual setup.
