Sorry, you've moved the goal posts so many times I can't tell what point you're trying to make so I'll restate my original comment: nothing that competes with the Stinger is available with manual.

Dodge, Infinity and Lexus are all ancient (more than a decade since the platform launch) and don’t have the tech and features you get on the Kia. You can not get the same features so it’s and apples to oranges comparison.

It also does stand out....being hilariously cheap compared to any other RWD sport sedan with similar equipment.

The OP was upset you can’t get a manual.

Even drop the HP requirement and simple specify “sporty” sedan and the options are still pretty much non-existent.

Out of production since 2018. Another one is coming but we have no idea when and it may not have a manual.

Oh, and the Taurus SHO was not RWD.

None of those cars are currently in production. 

Out of production for 2 years now. You haven't been able to buy a new one since before the stinger came out.

It’s not a “high performance car” is a sporty sedan. That is all KIA ever marketed it to be.

True, but R&T got the absolutely top spec that will be available at launch.

I agree with everything you said except “It became famous, but only among gearheads.” 

How so?

There was 6 feet and as many crew members and officials in between them when this moron decided to be a hero and get involved.

You literally got everything wrong in your post including thinking I’m a yank.

First and last race was the Coca Cola 600. Your description of Charlotte is 100% accurate.

My first NASCAR race I flew from Vancouver to Charlotte and sat through the CocaCola 600. More than 4hrs of turning left. I know your feels

Going after a guy from behind is a bitchass move 100% of the time.

A car that was never available in America and didn’t meet even basic crash standards?

How much cheaper than a $15,000 Kia Rio do you want?
