Kia dealers rarely get to hold margin on a vehicle. However, they are no worse than VW dealers or Ford dealers on Hot Hatches when the new models dropped.

I haven’t worked on Euro vehicles hardly ever, but as far as Asian vehicles go, the Stinger has a very unique CAN system that you can’t diagnose the same way you would any other vehicle. I would definitely say Kia put A LOT of good R&D into this vehicle.

Many kia dealers are part of big conglomerates that own multiple dealerships and dumbass management thinks the Stinger is going to get the same attention as sporty car xyz at their Ford/Honda/Subaru/Chevy dealership down the street.

My office overlooks a Ford/Kia dealership for instance. They have mustangs lined up…
