  1. Nice review Doug! But for the same money, would you take this or the Kia Stinger GT2?

  2. Bill...he does know. That's why he specifically said VW doesn't want to step on Audi's toes.

  3. Rolands...Only two of those are sold in the US, right?

  4. Future...My thoughts exactly. The Kia is superior in every way except for that beautiful digital cockpit the VW has.

  5.  @fraysa  The Stinger is not a knock off of anything. Strong car? Seriously? It's been quite a few years since VW made anything more reliable than a Kia. You should really come out of your cave more often.

  6.  @fraysa  I'm sorry, but only a badge snob would pick the A5 over the Stinger. The Stinger is faster, more powerful, more spacious and more reliable for less money. Audi is my favorite German brand, but I don't need the badge to feel good about myself. I'll take the better car every time.

  7.  @fraysa  I can appreciate your point. I've actually owned 2 Audis before and I loved them both. (A4 and A6). And you're right, Kia is not a luxury car brand. But I would suggest that this Stinger is unique. It was designed by Germans to be more German than the Germans and do so for less money. If you've never been in a Stinger, you should try one. It's incredibly good and provides sooooo much more than the A5. It's nice to have options these days.

  8.  @fraysa  I understand. After all, Kia used to make truly horrible cars. It's hard to forget that. But as consumers, we owe it to ourselves to explore the options we have. Especially given the price of new cars these days. Cheers!

  9. I love these hatchback sedan things! But at almost 50K, this gets blown out of the water by the Kia Stinger GT2. No contest at all!
