Remember this?

That was the Kia GT4 Stinger, a concept car released by the brand back in 2014 at the Detroit Auto Show--at the time, it was one of the company's most drastic and bold designs.

According to the rumor mill, we may be seeing it again by 2018.

AutoGuide reported in April that Kia had filed a trademark with the USPTO for "Kia Stinger":

"The name was first used on the GT4 Stinger Concept which was presented at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show packing a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine sending 315 horsepower to the rear wheels. A second concept called the Kia Novo previewed what a small sports sedan would like from Kia, and the most recent rumors suggest the production model will have four doors."

Two doors? Four doors?

At DCH Kia of Temecula, we would be more than happy to see either a sports sedan or a coupe hitting the streets and showrooms of California.
