Audi and BMW should watch out - the manufacturer designed this sports hatchback sedan in their own backyard of Frankfurt, Germany and tested it on the famed Nurburgring Grand Prix racetrack. .
The model will be the first Kia to come as either an all-wheel drive or rear-wheel-drive sedan. Kia took great lengths to test traction by testing the Stinger in the Swedish Arctic on a lake bed. They could have probably tested it under similar conditions here in Calgary in February. .
