Did I just find a Kia Unicorn?

[stingerick]

I was scanning through the Kia Inventory Web Application for the LA area and just happened to come across a Stinger GT1 in Snow White WITH the red interior package. Now according to the Build Your Stinger page, this color combination shouldn't exist for the GT1, or for that matter any other Stinger model. I didn't personally contact the dealer(Allstar Kia, Ontario CA) to see if this was just web error, or if they truly do have a one-off Stinger GT1 with that color combination.

My thought is that Kia will, in time, start pushing through Stingers with exterior/interior colors that go beyond the limited variety they offer currently. One can only hope.

...according to the Build Your Stinger page, this color combination shouldn't exist for the GT1...

According to the US build options, or the Canadian build options?

According to the US build options on the Kia website, the only exterior colors on the GT1 and GT2 that can be ordered with the red interior package are Ceramic Silver, SilkySilver, and Aurora Black. The Snow White exterior is supposed to only come with the black interior. Maybe changes are being made to that plan. I dunno

And to clarify, the dealership is in Ontario, California. About an hour east of Los Angeles. Maybe some out there went with Ontario, Canada. Sorry.

In Canada the Snow White Pearl is available with both black interior and red interior

It might be possible through dealership order despite not being able to build it online. Every dealership including my local dealer said they only had the ability to order what could be built on the US webpage with the exception of one dealer about 3 hours away from where I live who said they did have the option to order a Snow White Pearl GT1 with red interior through their internal ordering system.

I then had them order the vehicle after placing a $1,000 deposit and have since been updated with a VIN # and an estimated arrival date of February 3rd. If the car arrives as I ordered it I plan on posting more information/pictures to verify whether the US does/doesn't have the ability to get color combos not available on the US webpage.

I'm sure it's a web error....here is another one in MO....says it's SWP but clearly it's ceramic silver with red interior.

Apologies, I initially read your post as "Ontario, Canada" instead of California. I agree, the Kia website clearly shows a red interior, which is not possible to build (online anyway). The dealer website doesn't actually specify the color, so it could also just be a data entry error. Uncertain whether the online inventory search aligns with their actual inventory, or if it's just data the dealers submit.

Let me know if you find an AWD GT2 with a 360 camera...that's the unicorn I'm looking for!

I guess in the grand scheme of things, what colors are or not available is much Ado about nothing. I personally just get obsessed over the details with marketing to your target audience. If it was my business, I'd make darn sure all the facts were right just to avoid confusion and problems down the line. Obviously, they could and will have more important issues to handle, but for crying out loud fix the easy stuff. Like yesterday.

I saw a white-on-white Stinger listed (no pic), and I assumed it was a mistake.
