Panthera Metal and Thunder Grey Discussion

[Gdank]

Finally got the car home!

Sun was setting ... made the car pop! Shame a phone photo doesn’t do it justice!

Saw Panthera/Thunder Grey in person today and can confirm on an overcast day it is almost black. I would have assumed bright light/sunshine would lighten it up a bit, but those who own above say the opposite...

My trip was to see the red Nappa interior, which I planned to order with the Panthera/Thunder exterior. Sorry, it is not as dark as the brochure and swatch suggested, which was not to my liking. But the real deal-killer was the quality of the leather. I am down-grading, so have been spoiled by high quality European leather in cars for many years. Both the black and red Nappa are far from high quality--it just shows more on the red. Nothing wrong with it, it just isn't "premium" in a way that I would want to draw attention to it, which the red certainly does. (Not as bad as the centre steering wheel cover, but not impressive upon close inspection.) So, back to boring black interior for me.

So no to the stinger then?

Never had “premium” leather in a car before, but am quite satisfied with my red Nappa interior. I still get so many compliments on both my exterior and interior color choice

 

[TO Turbo]

Looks Great!

No, I meant I will stick with the "boring" black interior. Not suggesting others should agree with me. It's no different that paint colour--everyone has their own expectations, taste and preferences. For instance, I find the fake engine sound appalling and will need to get it shut off permanently at the first opportunity. Others will think it's a great addition to the car.

Agree i have the fake noise switched off. I liked the leather colour thats available overseas namely Gray (grey) which from the photos looks white.

How do you turn if OFF? I have only seen instructions to turn it down (Minimize) in Custom mode. I want it OFF in all modes.

Maybe i have it on minimise? There's certainly no exhaust noise. First week i left the car running for two hours without knowing it was on.

No noise in any drive mode? What is the point of having it or adjusting it then?

I thought I had seen that in the Genesis G70 you could turn it off completely, but the Stinger just went down to minimal. Not sure why they didn't also just include the additional 'off' option.

Can't find a better looking example than this one on the dealer's lot. Note those great wheels are a direct copy of the Volvo Polestar wheel. They say imitation is the best form of flattery but Kia or Volvo those wheels are the go -
