Finally got my 2019 GT2. Panthera Metal with light colored interior

[Kgh31386]

I had been texting a dealer back and forth for months out of state and played the month end waiting game. He got my price down to where I want, but couldn't tell me how the taxes and fees would work. The local dealer matched the price, plus threw in window tint and my first oil change. In one random text I said, "Man it sucks they only do black and red interiors, the 2018 blue with light interior was sharp." He said, "this one isn't black or red". To my surprise, they had special ordered one with a "gray interior package". I was sad to let my GS350 F-sport go, but this car can't be beat. The ambient lighting at night on the light colored seats looks better than the BMW's or Audi's I've seen. My wife loved the light interior on the 2018's and said "too bad they don't make it anymore". Well surprise! It matches the color scheme of her RX350.

Awesome. It will be very unique car. I dropped this exterior color because it didn't have any other option than black interior.

May the miles and months going forward be as joyful as the beginning.

Be careful they will use probably number tricks once you are the for the final numbers.

Be sure to know what acceptable fee amounts should be so you have an idea of some reasonable limits.

I didn't know any dealers could do any special orders unless something changed recently.

I pretty much swore Kia off when I found out I couldn't ever get the Deep Chroma Blue color after they showed it off in person before launch and also teased it several other times.

However, my #2 would've been a GT2 Panthera Metal with red interior. I think the Canadians can at least get that, but still haven't seen one here in the US.
So still no Kia for us.

I've never seen one with the light interior before (TBH, i didn't know it existed), but this looks great!

OMG that interior color! Very uncommon on the Panthera Metal! Great find

We got a new 2019 in Jan of this year in this color combo. I do not know how uncommon it is, but it is a very nice looking combination. My tastes tend more toward the brighter end of the spectrum and I would have preferred Panthera w/ red seats or a Stinger with Red or Orange paint. My wife would have never agreed, however, so this was a good compromise for us. I love the car, but wish it stood out a little more.

Ya see, for me, I'm somewhat of a paradox.

I want a car that stands out and is incredibly unique, but, also blends in very well and doesn't draw too much attention. That's kinda why I like the Panthera metal. It's not as bright as the HiChroma red, Federation orange, or the blue. It's also a little less ubiquitous as the Black and the White too. However, as you said, I would prefer its interior be red or light gray.

That's true .....unless you offset the standard SWP with a little flair!
