Not too bad I guess. A whole two seconds off almost every performance aspect from the GT. Big gap but I think this will be adequate for buyers that aren't enthusiasts.

Interesting that the Non-GT and GT versions share nearly identical seats, with slightly different patterns without any extra side bolstering. You also get the black suede headliner on the GT. Steering wheel control, parking brakes are also manual on the Non-GT version.

On the GT models the fronts get extra thigh support.

I completely agree and I bet we'll be seeing a lot of the 2.0 being used by rental companies.

I was actually considering the 4-cylinder Stinger, but I am disappointed with the 0-60 time. I thought I read that 0-60 should be 5.9 secs. Also, I don't like the T-shaped shifter and the fact that the seats do not have thigh extensions, even with the Premium trim. I guess I will be forced to get a GT trim with the much better performance and the options I would like to have in my next car.

The shifter on the base model looks like it just came from the Kia parts bin.

There's a few straights so it will compliment the need and desire for it lol
