My GF had the same problem with her front rotors, you guys need to keep in mind it’s a heavy car and requires a lot of braking power and heat to stop it. She likes to brake later than she should, and In doing so it really heats up the rotors, and since it’s an auto you have to keep the brake depressed at lights thus causing the hot softer metal to squeeze in and causing rotor warpage. Any car will have this issue due to driving style, maybe carbon ceramic rotors would hold up better but I have no experience with them.

Owner of a 2018 GT1 in ceramic grey. I've never gotten so many compliments from random people at the parking lot, gas station, at my business. I was an Audi guy before having an A5 and S4, but the Stinger is my favorite by a huge margin. German luxury are money pits (transmission and oil consumption issues). Having a peace of mind with the reliability of a Korean made car is really priceless. I hope Kia makes a second generation but if not, then definitely G70 will be on my list. Hopefully by then Genesis will have a high performance trim with the G70 going head to head with M and AMG.

All great points I heard about the logo change while watching the 2021 optima video
@stevewise16564 жыл бұрын
Hey Serg Did you watch Asian Petrolhead talking about the logo changes? The dealers know customers don’t like the logo and want to move away from the former reputation of the brand. Apparently finally got it through the heads of the stubborn KIA Execs.

Hey bud, LOVE the channel. Awesome content, consistently uploading new stuff, great format and just the right length to keep the viewer’s interest! Do you think you could do more 6 cyl performance/luxury cars? I know it is tough because everyone is switching to 4 cyl turbos🙄. That would be so appreciated as I LOVE 6’s and honesty am not a fan of 4’s. Heck, I have a 5 cyl which is like a black sheep in today’s market!

We should not forget that the design of the Stinger was developed by Peter Schreyer and Gregory Guillaume in Frankfurt am Main. Albert Biermann, who was deputy head of development at BMW M GmbH, was also involved in the development; since 2015 he has been head of development at the Hyundai Motor Group, to which Kia belongs.

I think Kia moved the stinger logo to where the Kia logo is on the back or at least what I'm seeing on cars at dealerships where I live. I'd definitely put a Borla exhaust on that thing. Also the base and premium are now GT-Line starting with this year's models.
