buy now or wait the 2019 model?

[westcoastGT]

That's the stuff. Nah, not the airbag cover - the parts you actually touch. The cover I'd do another way. Don't know because I don't have my car, but I'd do a lot of looking online before making any change. Someone, somewhere, has done something I'd like...

I thought you were out ?????????????????????

I'm not yet in, but won't be if the 2019 color options end up being as things look now..

Which color combo were you looking for?

This car is too awesome to nix it because you can’t get the exact color combo you want.

Looks like we early Canadian buyers didn't miss out on anything. Apart from neutral coast control (not mentioned in the video), there is no difference to our GT Limited models.

I disagree. You pay 50k for a car, you want it how you want it lol. I don't have one exact combo I have to have, but if I did, I wouldn't just suck it up for that much money. That's why I didn't get the 2018, too many features missing for me to spend that type of money on it.

How much color combo and features are wort to you is subjective. For someone, it might be nothing for someone it will be a deal breaker. Someone might get Porshe Panamera to get their color combo someone might get Camry. Someone will say Stinger is still good value for money and get whatever next closest combo he gets and it might grow on him.

Thank you.

I can easily afford a Yas Marina blue M3 or M4 custom ordered with Sakhir Orange or Amaro Brown leather, with every sensible performance and luxury option, and 4 or 5 years concierge maintenance. ~$80k, if you're wondering, for the M3. I *almost* pulled the trigger on a similar AMG. When I found out about the Stinger, however, I decided to wait, because I *like* KIA (this will be my 4th), I can appreciate the value, the performance is unquestioned, and I don't *need* a new vehicle just yet.

I'm not waiting another year though.

edit: I feel I should add - I WANT a Stinger. If I could have bought a micro blue GT2 AWD with red, and 360º camera, I'd own one right now, and be very happy - even given the paint issues. Not only is that combo not coming, but they've apparently removed the micro blue GT2 option.

Looks like a standard 2.0 in Germany - and the 2019 in Germany should get other stuff .. for me this looks like a 2018 Model - except the shifter, we have the electronic shifter in 2.0 Model

 

[Waynerm002]

For me, when this car launched saying it was targeting the Germans, I expected the car to come with GT Trim, flat bottom steering wheel, led lights front and rear and electronic shifter on all trims. None should look different on the outside except for 18" or 19" GT wheels. I get that some folks want all the bells and whistles, while I don't agree with how they packaged some of the options it was similar to the way luxury cars packaged their. When I found out that those options were on the vehicle in Canada, for a lower price, well that felt wrong. Happy they are making them available on the 2019s but I still want some more interior and exterior color choices. Not a deal breaker if they don't have an exact match but no beige for me. Haven't met a beige interior I liked yet.

Yep, and we still have a lower price. Would be nice to see the GT Limited come in RWD also.

You mean regular and not adaptive cruise control?

No he is talking about what happens when you take your foot off the gas. It will now coast when the 2018s rev match (I am not sure if that’s the right term). But basically, it feels like the car actively slows down when you take your foot off the gas so it can feel a little jerky if you’re not good on the pedal.

Hello everyone, I am ordering 2019 Stingers at my dealership this week and I’m pretty confused on the packaging for each trim level. If someone can help me email me at TylerBratcher@ourismanva.com

I don't understand the question: don't you simply order so many of this trim and that trim? What do you mean by "packaging"?

 

[Falaris]

Not only is that combo not coming, but they've apparently removed the micro blue GT2 option.

On the site now when you build a 2019 GT2 the Micro Blue is there but the only interior is the black. So no light grey like the 2018's and no red.

Just an FYI.

I’m sorry. By packaging I mean which has sun and sound package. Which one comes standard with safety features, what safety features are standard on each trim, (2.0, Premium, GT, GT1)

Thanks Fal, just to make sure I understand, no light grey or red for the Micro Blue?

Yes. They are up on the Kia website, you can directly check now.
