Beat me to it by 13 minutes lol.

Is that a new colour blue for 2021? Looks different to what i know?

So, what do you think of the new front headlights and rear tail lights, the new styled seats..etc, actually I think there is still two different front headlights design , one like the current one, and this new design headlight.

The new Stinger 2.5T will get the new multi-led REFLECTOR desin while the 3.3 GT will get a slightly updated version of the led PROJECTOR of the current pre-2021 Stinger.

I like that they added the blind spot camera feature.

It maybe a different blue than the Deep Chroma Blue...?

 

[Ozstung]

I like that blue. Other features apart from the seats..Nah

 

[vipeboy2000]

i like that the blindspot view was added, although probably only on higher trims. i like the seats as well, the larger multimedia screen, don't love the new wheels, definitely what i'd call a minor refresh.

I think Kia may potentially cannibalize sales of the GT by introducing a 300 hp 2.5t. I wonder what the performance difference will be between the 300 hp 2.5 and 368 hp 3.3 and much will Kia charge customers for just 68 hp more.

I would have liked to see Kia up the boost a bit to get it closer to 400 hp to be more of a performance competitor against the C43 AMG and M340 (at least on paper).

i like everything they did except those hideous tail lights. The 18-20 tail lights look so good, and then they put THAT on the back of the car.

 

[redraidersrule]

I like the tail lights on the 18-20 better but to me its not a big difference. I was waiting on the larger infotainment and blind spot camera. Those outweigh the tail lights. I think in definitely getting one of these but not until next year. Cant wait.

Agreed. Look for sales to increase for the 4 banger

Overall I like what they have done, looks like they are saving the v6 HP increase for the next gen

Also looking forward to everyone calling it the Korean charger even more now

 

[redraidersrule]

also remote start and remote heated and cooled seats.

I was thinking this as well, not to mention the Mustang turn signal lights, which are cool IMO

 

[WearySky]

I like the new headlights. The rest I could take or leave.

More reason to get the TTV6.

Still, the new lighting design is an improvement over the pre-FL design.

Likely will see the 3.5tt in due time, but the higher output variant with around 420hp.

Will have to wait its turn as the G80 Sport will be the 1st to get that engine.

More like what Porsche and some other Euros have been doing, as well as Hyundai.

Doubt Kia will continue to offer the 2.0T in NA, as little need due to no taxes based on displacement.

I thought I read somewhere (sorry, can't find the source now) that they won't have the Ceramic Silver as a color moving forward.

Sad if that is the true but this will give some uniqueness to the pre-facelift Ceramic Silver. So far in Korea it is not marketed as available for the facelift only HiChroma Red, Snow White Pearl, Panthera Metal, Aurora Black Pearl, and, new to the Stinger, Celestial Blue (available before on Sedona's I believe)

Panthera Metal is to dark for me so no more light grey option is sad.
Celestial Blue seem a good move to me, Current blue is too flashy for me and Indigo was to dark/purple for my taste.
