Sad to this one come to an end. It’s the car many of us asked for but, apparently, not enough of us purchased.

I really liked the stingers I've driven, and I'm sad (but not surprised) to see this model go.  I can't believe Kia actually put the car into production, but I guess they've sold enough Tellurides to offset the loss.

I still love mine even though I really wished they offered them with a manual as an option.

It's a shame this car is going away without ever offering a manual transmission. With three pedals it would shoot to the top of my "next car" list. 

It seems like it was trying to be an enthusiast car without fully leaning into to and therefore ended up in kind of a no man's land.
