    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Well, it is probably the same then. I did not realize it was called that in the U.S. In person always looks different. I saw an Optima with the silver color last night and it looked lighter than this picture, but it is probably the same.

    Kia Stinger Badge - Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

    I would actually prefer no badge or the "K" badge as they have in Korea (and you see in the U.S. from time to time).

    Kia Stinger Head-Up Display

    Yes. Pretty cool. Better than the Pontiac HUD on the Grand Prix from the late '90s to early '00s, but then again, technology is almost like night and day from 20 years ago.

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Always hard to know for sure by a picture, but it looks a little darker in comparison.

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Here are the colors for the Korean Market. You can find the "Silky Silver" color there (pictured below). http://www.kia.com/kr/vehicles/stinger/features.html. Sorry, no Yellow or light Gray. I'm still gonna' stick with the Pantela Metal color.

    Kia Stinger clay modeling process

    With the clay and body film applied you can get an idea of what a true coupe would look like. Don't count it out since they are targeting the big boys who also have coupes of the same model...

    Kia Stinger at Cars and Coffee

    I have always thought it looked good in white. Until I saw it in the dark gray metallic it was my first choice (of course they had only released 3 or 4 colors to that point: white, red, blue, and then yellow). The gray will be more difficult to keep it clean, but it just looks so good. If I see...

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    It has gotten some good reviews - I am surprised they have not done more colors like this. I remember the Pontiac Trans Am had an orange color back in the late '90s, maybe early "00s, that would do this. You just have to make sure you like "both" of the colors.

    Kia Stinger Stock Wheel Size

    I like the wheels on the Blue one the best.

    Who plans on ordering their Kia Stinger with AWD?

    It is our usual annual date, but the Stinger was definitely the big draw for us this year. I had never been on a Friday morning/afternoon time frame and it was awesome. We are in our early 40's and we were some of the youngest people there (because everyone else was at school and work). Ha! Plus...

    Who plans on ordering their Kia Stinger with AWD?

    As a disclaimer, these answers come from the guy at the Dallas Auto Show (who gave the pen to me) who was at the big reveal in January as well. I bombarded him with questions (even coming back twice later with more) but he didn't seem to mind - he let my wife and I step up onto the pedestal and...

    No hood vents!?

    Maybe some things have changed recently. They go by the VIN number anyway so that will tell them what they need to know. Once you get over a certain age group bracket there is not a huge difference anyway. Our insurance agent (who is also a long time friend) once told me "There won't be that...

    Who plans on ordering their Kia Stinger with AWD?

    There will be AWD available on both trims, but with the Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control system you wouldn't need it unless you lived in a snowy climate. Less cost, less complexity, less weight, and faster 0-60 times.

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Dark gray metallic with Brembro brakes and 19" wheels; legal tint on front side windows and one grade darker for the back side windows and rear window. Black or possibly black/red interior. A carbon fiber exterior package would seal the deal and look incredibly sweet. I'll take mine now please.

    No hood vents!?

    Insurance will not be the same due to engine size (and cost) as well as difference in cost of repairs/replacement. A 4-cylinder Camaro is less than the V8 to insure I promise. You buy big with big power and big speed, you are going to pay the price due to risk potential on the part of the...

    No hood vents!?

    If they offer this in the U.S. it will be a temptation over the 3.3 due to the financial impact: 1. 4-6k less purchase price 2. Less insurance cost 3. Less cost at the pump 4. Possibly less depreciation 5. Less likely to be stolen or vandalized (due to envy...lol!) 6. Possibly less engine and/or...

    No hood vents!?

    According to the rep at the Dallas auto show back in March (who was also at the big reveal in January), you can get AWD in the 2.0. The video I posted elsewhere also showed this as an option.

    Video of four cylinder revving

    So much for giving it 3k miles on the engine before max revs, let alone letting it warm up for a minute. Ooops...

    No hood vents!?

    The one in the video I posted, and this one above, is the 2.0.
