If they were serious we would be seeing the Stinger concept coming to life right now.

It's a business not a charity.

I followed that puppy close and it is one of the reasons I no longer trust that any concept will ever become reality. People seem to think that all concepts hit production when in real life very few do!

I'm guessing they felt "affluent millennials" was too passe.

Kinda sad about the Gencoupe - I wanted one of these for awhile (due to the long gestation of the Twins), but once I had the chance to drive one, I was glad I balked.

It's one of those cars that "almost" but doesn't quite make the mark.

When I test drove a 3.8 R-Spec I yelled "Onward my faithful South Korean steed!" before flooring it. The sales rep didn't find it nearly as amusing as I did. That happens to me often.
