Default Is the KIA Stinger the next RWD Muscle Car sedan ?

Given GM has abandoned the rear wheel drive sports sedan platform after this year's final Chevy SS, looks like foreign manufacturers are bringing new products to the very same market that GM thought wouldn't sell. Take a look at the specs and it also comes AWD. This should make quite a competitor to the Audi, BMW, Lexus, Taurus SHO

Not a bad looking car either.

Power will come from two engines, with the range-topping 365-hp turbo 3.3-liter V-6 making that version the most powerful roadgoing Kia yet; a 255-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder will serve as the entry-level engine. The Stinger gets an eight-speed automatic transmission, with buyers able to choose between rear- and all-wheel drive. Kia says it is targeting a 5.1-second zero-to-62-mph time and a 167-mph top speed for the 3.3-liter.
