Reviews SummaryWhen the Kia Stinger was introduced in 2017, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) sports sedan was as eye-opening as it was refreshing. Combining German-tuned performance with Kia’s award-winning design, the Stinger was a defining moment in the automaker’s steady march toward offering upscale products. The Kia Stinger receives a mild refresh for 2022 to offer more power, particularly with the base engine, and it also gets updated design flourishes and technology features. | |
Reviews SummaryPerhaps Buick’s most recognizable nameplate, the Regal has been a staple of the tri-shield’s stable for more than four decades. More than that, it’s been one of GM’s more successful attempts to attract new buyers to the brand, with the company claiming more than 40% of Regal buyers in the previous generation came from non-GM brands. For this new generation, Buick is trying something different with the Regal, offering fastback sedan and wagon variants, as well as a performance GS version that sees the Regal boasting V6 power for the first time in 13 years. | |
