Thanks! Even if it is a horrible answer! ; ) Come on Kia, provide more stand alone options!

Probably relating to the Atlantica SE model, and isn't quite right with all his information and now it'll play out with ALL the 2019 models. That said, I'm wondering if Kia ever allows ordering? That is, if I want a Stinger GT1 w/XYZ stand alone features, is that order-able? Or are dealers...

Hang in there Matt! You know the dealers have a LOT of GT2's sunbathing on their lots right now - a LOT. The initial uptake of them was pretty huge, but then that big enthusiast market was quickly saturated to that sell-through rate. Kia now has LOT of 2018's on their hands (again GT2s)...

Nice input GDI Guy. This is where mileage testing can be deceiving. 2.0L Turbo engines are everywhere now-a-days, but step on them to any degree and they can be gas guzzlers in their own right. But when they test these, they are running up and into turbo mode as little as possible. So yah, I can...

Congrats! (sooner than later I'm assuming).

Indeed, driving conditions, how you drive, mode, all play a big role in mileage. Anyone can do their math and figure out what may happen, but it's great to see a GT2 getting such great mileage! By chance, is where you live relatively flat? I'm in the PacNW and it's constant mountains or hills...

Intersting question Genesis, as you seem to be weighing a few diverse areas with the Stinger. I would suggest looking at this one of two ways: A. Mathematically: 2.0L Stinger: 25mpg average 3.3L GT STinger: 21mpg average NOTE: RWD but AWD, it's almost a wash, so let's just run with this little...

That's very true. A lot of people do want the 360? camera. Unfortunately, from all I can find online, it "appears" the Atlantica addition is going to be the only new options version for the US in 2019 and everything else will be virtually identical... Now, that could be entirely wrong (I could...

If you do a lease buyout immediately, then just about the only number that matters is how much you negotiate off the sticker price, and their Doc fees, etc... If you purchase with a loan, then it isn't going to matter what that interest rate is so much either. Basically, if you buy out a...

Congrats! I'm also going for the GT w/Drive Wise RWD. White is on the list. I think I might go "wild" and get the Micro Blue, but we'll see. Seems quite a few people are purchasing GT's lately. I do know that after a big rush of GT2 sales, the high-end enthusiast buyer seems a bit saturated...

Congrats! Enjoy! NOTE: Can't open that link. Hmpf....

Meh, I'm sure you did just fine. The goal of a dealer is always to have people leave thinking they got a great deal, so run with it and enjoy your new rig!

Matt may be able to give more guidance regarding this thought, but the dealer does not need to know anything about your buyout plans whatsoever. The dealer ? in the end ? will have nothing to do with it. I am not sure if the dealer gets stung with quick buyouts in terms of their commission or...

Firstly, that's not exactly how a lease to buyout works. If only it were that simple. Adjusted Gross Capital Cost, No, you won't end up getting $6,500 off the car. Once you go study how the lease works and the Residual Value (around 54% of the retail price), Depreciation Amount, Rent Charge...

That's my car! Portland, OR doesn't see snow but once, maybe twice a year for a day - maybe... GT w/Drivewise, RWD, MicroBlue and I'm in! Congrats, hope it's the car you were thinking it would be.

That's a great point. Once Kia figured things out, it may have only been a particular lot/VIN number of vehicles, easily tracked and pulled off the lots. This was a Pacific NW dealership, and out here, we received the Stinger early on - which if there are defects, early on in the builds also...

FCA LOL! Nice one! As for the paint, not worried about that. Sounds like something wrong with the UV clear coat. And if that's the case, either the suppler put the intern on the "... then, press this button to mix in the UV protectant..." and that got into their supply chain. Hmmm... Paint...

This is an all-new, first generation vehicle for Kia. Sodium-filled piston heads (a first in the industry, not just shaft), and other features where Kia pushed the envelope. First year, bound to be a few issues they need to work out. Overall, not bad for such a massive effort and execution of...

I don't believe I have the ability to post/create a new thread (unfortunately), so I'll post this here: I was just told today by a dealer that the Kia Stinger Micro Blue's were recalled! All their Micro Blue Stinger's were in their body shop awaiting instructions from Kia. Evidently, after...

My "problem" is, ironically, where I live. Evidently, Kia believes the Portland, metro area - the entire Pacific NW in fact - really can't drive RWD vehicles. Too much rain. Need AWD cars. LOL! It's become a very popular thing in the PacNW with crossovers and SUV's to be AWD. Seriously, for 90%...
