When we were at SEMA 2018 we had the opportunity to meet a lot of people and while walking through the buildings seeing lots of cars we found this Kia Stinger on a lift and wonder who was the owner.

Tell us your name and which car you currently drive?
My name is Alejandra Palencia and I currently drive the 2018 KIA Stinger GT1.
Which other vehicles did you own before the stinger?
My last vehicle was the 2015 Kia Sorento which is a suv, before that I owned a 2012 Toyota Camry.
Why Kia and not other brands?
The only reason I went with Kia was because I honestly love the brand and my Sorento never gave me any issue what so ever, So that
was definitely a plus.
What did you knew about the stinger prior to purchasing it?
Honestly the only thing I knew was that it was a twin turbo and was pushing 365hp.
Why the stinger from all the different models Kia has available?
The stinger caught my eye more than any other model Kia has. It was one of those love at first sight haha.
Which other options did you had before choosing the stinger?
Honestly I was thinking of going with the new Sorento until I seen the stinger I just knew I had to have it there was no doubt in my mind.

What is your advice to future stinger owners?
If you are still thinking about buying a stinger just stop thinking and just do it. You will have no regrets what so ever.
We met you at SEMA, was this your first time?
