2022 GT1 now comes with less goodies

[Montanaman]

Interesting that Kia lowered the base price of the GT1 by $900 but you don't get the HK 15 speaker set or memory seats? Weird. Guess they want to push people more to the GT2. I think my 2021 GT1 just went up in value. NOT..

I'm pretty sure this particular topic has been discussed to death.

not according to the reviewers. they are treating it like its a big change. new infotainment, new interior, lights, more hp etc. and it is the first kia with the new logo.

I'm pretty sure this particular topic has been discussed to death.

Going back a month now there's been several discussions like this spread over several threads. Specifically, much of the discussion is around the restructuring of the trim levels (GT/GT1/GT2).

2022 Kia Stinger Full America Info!!

It's a safe bet with a new model coming out there would be some discussion on a car forum dedicated to that model car.

You'll find threads related to Stinger news in the Stinger News forum:

Well, you did get the last GT1 that is a full GT1.

Yes, this is discussed quite a bit, but as said, all over the place. It's easy to miss a lot of that.

Looking over the GT-Line and GT1 features on the Kia "build" site, it seems that the new GT1 falls pretty much in between the previous "base" GT and GT1. Kia is making a few more bucks on the new GT1.

See, this is what I am talking about: I don't see most of those threads on that Neewz board, because I don't go to the boards individually; I click open threads from "New Posts"; that's how I surf the Stinger Forum. Heh! For the first few months on here I didn't even see "New Posts"; it was pointed out to me; I was scrolling the boards page and clicking things open that looked interesting (very inefficient). I am not really an Internet guy either (not really a car guy): I just come here and peruse news feed headlines. I've sworn off of using YouTube (a resolve I am imperfect in following up on), Facebook is dead to me, I never Twittered or went anywhere else: yet most of my daylight hours are spend at the 'puter. That's how inefficient I am. So, I sympathize with @Montanaman when he says, "where?"

It's madness, madness I tell you!

Thanks Merlin

Another question I'm sure I could find if I wanted to spend another half hour searching is:

Is the adaptive suspension the same on both the GT1 and GT2 cars? I thought yes.

Yes. Although the different model years might have it turned differently. We tried to figure out if that was true, but I don't remember any consensus on whether or not later model years were stiffer in Sport mode than 2018 suspension tuning.
