Launched at a time when Holden, Ford and Chrysler all were killing their respective rear wheel drive sports saloons, the Stinger became an instant Australian classic.

For good reason, it is affordable, stylish, comfortable and comes with two engine options, a 2.0L and 3.3L turbo six. Either engine provides excellent driver engagement but the 3.3L V6 is the engine of choice.

Stinger provides a powerful sports saloon, with practical liftback styling, all for between $52,500 through to the top spec GT for $66,460 plus the usual costs.

In an automotive world that will see the new EV6 GT electric car perform better than the Stinger, perhaps Kia would kindly drop the 3.3L V6 from the Stinger into the Sorento and give us a performance SUV at least.

Yes, listeners the Stinger death bell has been rung, we are not sure exactly when, but if you are a fan then grab one now while you can, before its wonderful exhaust note becomes but a memory.

This is a Motoring Minute

Stinger is more than a sports car. The GT means Gran Turismo. A vehicle you can drive long distances in comfort and style.

We’ve got the Stinger GT Carbon Edition which adds carbon fibre door mirrors, grille surround, fender vents, rear skid plate and hood vent. Inside it adds an Alcantara steering wheel and a badge.

Yes the Stinger is pretty fast 0-100kmh in 4.9 seconds and top speed of 270kmh. But that actually sells the car short. To get the same performance you would have to buy something like the Audi S5 Coupe that cost in excess of $130,000. Or you could buy the Hyundai version the Genesis G70 for about $90,000

Its appeal is that it is also so easy to drive every day and be comfortable. Air-conditioned seats, with multiple electronic adjustments, 360 degree cameras, and walk up boot opening are just a few of the comfort features.

Add to this Kias 7 year owner benefit package and a five star ANCAP safety rating.

Kia Stinger GT Carbon edition is priced from just under $65,000 plus the usual costs.
