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. |

GM still has the ATS-V (464 HP) and the CTS-V (640 HP) in the RWD sports sedan market.
They make the Kia Stinger look rather anemic...
I just bought an ATS-4 (AWD) with the 2.0 liter turbo - 275 HP and 295 torque that is quite the car. Same chassis as the new Camaro, Brembo brakes, etc...
