 Hi, I'm Tamara from The Verge and I'm here today at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show checking out the new Kia Stinger. In 2014, Kia showed the GT4 Stinger concept at the Detroit Auto Show and now, three years later, it's unveiled the real thing and it sure has some bite to it. The Kia Stinger has two engines and the juicier option is the 3.3 liter V6 that makes 365 horsepower and clocks a zero to 60 mile per hour time of 5.1 seconds. Now the Kia is no super car. It's not hitting anywhere near 200 miles an hour, but you certainly can have fun going 167 miles per hour in this two-interval charged V6. Kia is only offering an eight-speed automatic transmission and the Stinger is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Of course, driving enthusiasts will go crazy for the rear-wheel drive option. For years, Kia has said it would build a rear-wheel drive sedan and now it's doubling down in that promise. In the world of sports cars, the Sting is usually associated with the iconic Corvette Stingray, certainly not Kia, the South Korean automaker. But the game is changing and at this sedate auto show, if you're looking for a car that has the looks to capture the attention of a car enthusiast, Kia offers a welcome reprieve to the fleet of crossovers and other more utilitarian vehicles that are on display. We care a lot about the tech inside of the car, but we have to admit, it sure is fun to see a car that has some decent lines and a bit of oomph to it. And when you think of Kia, you might not think of it as a true luxury sports sedan, but Kia is aiming for big-time competitors like the Audi A4 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It's curious that Kia is also focusing on the sports sedan market, while so many automakers are turning their attention to cranking out the crossovers. But this is a new direction that we are actually quite pleased with because we like a sports sedan coupe. If you're going to get out in the open road and go for a drive while we still actually drive our cars, we might as well enjoy the ride along the way.
