What a good read and a great looking vehicle.

I sat in a stinger 2 weeks ago while at a Kia dealership looking to replace our Rav4. It really does feel superb and the length of it... :eek:

It hasn't really been a sales success.  I like it, but too thirsty for me. It did drive well though.

Why they were chosen, they ticked all the boxes and were cheapest.

Just like the Aurion and Sonata and Isuzu, Qld fleet will not let a single car maker get one over them. They shop hard and get the best deal they can.

Notice how Commodores are starting to appear again? Guess what isn't selling....

Not really, the Type R is not fitted with a radio or operational kit other than stickers. It is driven to and parked at community events to 'break down barriers' between the community and police.

Unless the barrier is why didn't you turn up when......
