Just ordered my new Ceramic Silver/black upholstery RWD StingerGT 3.3biturbo. (AWD is not an option in NZ as yet - maybe 2019). Hopefully get next week and I am really looking forward to it. Owned a 2010 Audi A5 2.0TFSI since new and loved it but this is a whole new ballgame and I am eager to compare. I am sure I won?t be disappointed.
The many test reviews I have read and watched and drives I have had make me think this is a good change from the Audi. And it?s serious ?bang for my buck?.
Roll on next week!

Hey KS,
Are you getting from Andrew Simms in Botany?
I saw one there yesterday and they advise it is due to go out shortly.

Welcome [MENTION=386]Speedybee[/MENTION] Congrats on the order! That's a shame you don't have AWD yet. 2019 should bring AWD and more options in most markets

Cheers matey. I?m kinda looking forward to RWD for a change and a little more fun driving the twistys. And I?ve just been told that ceramic silver is now 2 months away so I am settling for my second choice of pearl white - which I can hopefully have in 3 days.

White is definitely not a color I settle on. It looks great on the Stinger. I forget who has it on the forum but someone said it was their "unicorn" lol tint the windows and you have a very pretty car!
