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. Only so many people can go after $50k+ vehicles after all. But the lots seem quite flush with GT2's and not much else...
Hopefully Kia figured out the mix a few months ago, because my understanding is 2019's are now coming off the line in S. Korea? Takes about 5 weeks to hit the West Coast docs, a week for customs/trucking from Tacoma, WA, Portland, OR, or San Deigo, CA.
Assume 6-7 weeks overall for a new Stinger to leave Korea and wind up on the dealer lot ready for sale. That would put new 2019's in around mid-July? Too soon. However, there is a lot of staging/storing at the ports that goes on. Suffice to say, new model years are not that far off, but I digress...
