Mockngbrd Supersonic January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 Wait ppl think u drive taxi. CNY relatives laugh at you. In all srs-ness, Kia lost a good opportunity to introduce a more lux sub-brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Supersonic January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 give up 2.0t lexus for 2.0t stinger is not worth it that leaves the 3.3l stinger which i would imagine is a pain to drive on sg roads where there is simply no room or much opportunity to unleash all that power, high operating costs not withstanding yeah i agree is200T engine isn't too bad both around 250hp and 8speed. so will be a lateral move to the stinger. only 3.3 makes sense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not in the foreseeable future. Why? No heritage. Edited January 10, 2018 by Mockngbrd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 Then a diesel would suit your driving style and good FC some more which saves you $.True. Just that diesels sound uninspiring. And the models I like doesn't come in diesel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is perfect for me now. Only the famous Toyota throttle lag sucks. From 0 to 30kmh I will lose to every car. But I can tahan for a few years and see if there's any used 3.3s available then.

Spring Moderator January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 will NEVER happen. At least not in the foreseeable future. Why? No heritage. Unfair isn't it? Those established brands by virtue of being in existence earlier, got a head start and cos of their heritage/longer history, they enjoy a premium and will always be THE brand to aspire for. This sometimes makes them complacent cos they know they have made it and will always attract buyers readily. Compare this with the hungrier newbies like Kia who have dared challenged the mainstream and come out with a car that is in all intents and purposes, able to compete with the establishment but cos of lack of history, is perceived as worse off even if this is not true. Well, I suppose that is life for u in all areas, not only in the cut throat car industry! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdash Supersonic January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 will NEVER happen. At least not in the foreseeable future. Why? No heritage. well we cant change the public perception, but we can make our own choice on what car to buy. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolvin 1st Gear January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 Wah riaos... Very tempting but we just got our is200t f sports like 7 mths ago... For that kind of cost, can take the 3.3l model sia.... I wonder if the car is available in their showroom for test drive or viewing? My car is perfect for me now. Only the famous Toyota throttle lag sucks. From 0 to 30kmh I will lose to every car. But I can tahan for a few years and see if there's any used 3.3s available then. I totally can feel you bro jaffa..... Haiz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic6228 6th Gear January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 Any indication from KIA for the OMV ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 Not entirely true. Pagani / Koenigsegg / Tesla. All are younger than Kia.Because they started out as a performance focused brand. Kia started out as a budget brand. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
