Same here, after seeing the stinger yesterday.. i felt they are trying very hard but like not here not there.

 

Feels more like chye png.. take abit from mercs, abit from audi.. hack even the door trims are shouting “Lim peh just copy paste audi door trims designs can liao, aircon vents put CLA design..

 

 

You hit the nail on the head... interior design when I go in will feel various like very very familiar.... have seen somewhere before almost exact copy.. yet not really the best executed when put together. They need to work on their own design style.

 

External yes got their own DNA.

Bmw got quadrants

Ferrari got horse

Lambo got bull

Remember the Geely CK?

 

Headlights tried to copy the Mercedes C Class

 

Later tried to copy the Lancer Evolution by renaming the version with bodykit as the Geevolution  [laugh]

I will be testing the 3.3l next Mon..

 

 

You are unlikely to unleash the full potential if you test drive along the Leng Kee stretch. The Stinger will be nothing more than  a pussy meowing.

 

Request to take the AYE if you test drive at Alexandra, or the PIE if you test drive at Ubi.

just read the SGCM article on the Stinger, apparently the GT 3.3L will be indent-only after the current batch is sold out. 

 

http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/events_features.php?AID=3496

 

If you aren't a brand snob, the Stinger GT 3.3L RWD can be yours this motor show weekend from $208,999* despite its $20,000 VES surcharge, while stocks last. Once they sell out, the Stinger GT 3.3L RWD will be an indent-only model.

Pls correct my back of envelope calculations:

 

3.3L

 

Selling price 200K

VES 20K

OMV 44K

 

 

If the first owner sell the car 3 yrs later.....the dealers will jit tao start the depreciation from 180K (take off 20k VES) and reduce it by 3 yrs.

 

A 3 yrs old 3.3L Stinger can be had for 140K?

 

The first owner of this high VES car already minimally 20K poorer when he drive it out of the showroom.

If coe remains yes I agree 135-140k which makes it around 15.5-16k. Given it’s parf will be 27k. The 2.0 will be 1-2k less in depre

Around 44+54(arf)+12(customs and gst)+20(VES penalty)= 130k plus coe. Edited by Mkl22

Kia should change their logo.

 

A simple K looks nicer than Kia

Hyundai's logo is beautiful with the stylised H... only KIA's logo is very industrial... no frills... no evocative enough...
