Kia News: Don't Expect A High-Performance Stinger Anytime Soon
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Kia
The Stinger is in a weird place in the market. It's not a Camaro/Mustang, too small to be a Charger, not premium enough to be an A7, substantially more powerful and sporty than a Regal Sportback. However, that also makes it rather unique and it might catch a small but solid following.- 61 replies

Buick News: Report Says 2018 Buick Regal TourX Will Begin At $29,995
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
Seems like Albert has taken a liking to the Sportback as much as I might want the TourX. Neither is a bad choice though. -
The situation has been resolved.

We're having an issue with the upstream network provider for the server. I just posted an announcement about it. I will post more information as I get it.

In other news, Pennsylvania approved the first pot growing and distribution license today. I take it you were waiting in line like it was a new iPhone?

It's a great minivan, but it's still a minivan. Im not making any lofty claims about it's Nurbürgring prowess... Only that it will handle better than a plumber van... RWD or not.

$65,000 gets you a 4 cylinder in a German car the Stinger's size. You make a compelling case.- 61 replies

Have you seen one in person yet? The long, low hood will let you know this is no camcord competitor.- 61 replies

Kia News: Don't Expect A High-Performance Stinger Anytime Soon
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Kia
The K900 proves nothing. As a car, I like it, but it looks too much like an Optima for that price. It also has zero sporting intentions, it rides as soft as an LS460. The Stinger does not look like an Optima.- 61 replies

Yeah, pretty sweet. You get a Pacifica Touring L without an interior and with a 7-speed instead of a 9-speed.

C-Class sales have gone up since it is no longer terribly outdated. It has nothing to do with the CLA.

It doesn't have to be a high performance brand (AMG, M, V-series) to be higher performance than the Stinger.- 61 replies

GM has become the best at mixed material vehicles. All of one material isn't necessarily the best. If switching a part to Aluminum saves 2 pounds but then requires 2 pounds of sound insulation to isolate the car from the road, what was the point? GM has been using aluminum in various body panels of various cars for years.

The EPA test isn't even close to accurate for PHEVs. I do so much better than the EPA in the Volt and Fusion Energi. My experience on both is well beyond EPA. -

It will already have higher performance for the dollar than most cars in that price class anyway. I'm betting they're leaving room for Genesis to use a version.- 61 replies

Cadillac News: 2018 Cadillac XTS Puts on A CT6 Face
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
There is nothing exciting about any of the mid-size segment. They're all competent cars now that the Avenger and old Malibu are gone. There isn't a bad mid-size out there, they're all "above average". Most Camries will be sold with the 4-cylinder. As far as your best in class list is concerned - Honda is releasing the 2018 Accord on July 14th, so I expect Camry's best in class crown to lose a few gems. -

Because you can't get awd with the 2.5 last I looked.
