Finally, new 2021 GT2 owner, ceramic/red

[SoCalSHO]

Just picked up my 2021 Stinger GT2, RWD. Ceramic Silver with a red interior. This red interior is so good looking. Just having problems connecting/activating UVO. Other than that, loving the car.

Very nice. We're still waiting for Kia to even tell us what spec is for the 2021 Australian delivered model. Delivery won't be this calendar year I'm thinking.

Great combo. Welcome to the hive and congrats.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger GT! What did the Stinger replace for you? I’m glad you found us.

 

[SoCalSHO]

Thanks. It replaced a 2010 a Ford Taurus SHO that developed too many oil leaks that I got tired of chasing done. I think the last thing was a large crack in the the front turbo (that I just had upgraded) and the case had to be resealed. The SHO used Honeywell/Garrett turbos as well.

The silver/red combo is a great combination. Welcome!

Glad you picked it up! I'm extremely jealous of that interior every time I see it.

 

[SoCalSHO]

The red interior with the Nappa leather, in person, is so rich. Photos of the red interior color do not do it justice. Online photos just look red.

Awesome welcome to the forum amazing color combo.

 

[MerlintheMad]

Good going.

UVO is basically worthless in the USA. In my case, I can't even look it over because my TracFone does not interface with UVO.

we already know what Australia is getting, 2.0L and a 3.3L, new style facelift but no engine changes. Q4 release, should be available November.

nice and welcome. Don’t bother with the UVO, to be kind, it’s complete dog shit!

Yes, UVO does not seem to be any good, but it could just be me, and I have only had it a couple days, but now it works. I am not a fan of Android Auto either.

No UVO sucks, its not you...its UVO. I have my GMC app that gives lots of info on my truck and allows me to remote start/stop, lock/unlock doors and sound horn. I can get diagnostic info from the truck with the push of a button in the app. Just to get a diagnostic report on the Stinger I have to plug my phone into with a USB cable. That's not very remote if you're sitting in the car.

Congratulations and welcome! Great color combo!
How many miles do the Taurus have on it?
I know it’s nowhere near the same platform, but my parents had a ‘90 SHO that they got with 40k on it and my dad sold it with 275k and it was still running strong

 

[SoCalSHO]

It was donated to Kars for Kids, Copart auctioned it off. Last bid i saw was 1200. I missed the last couple hours. It had 122,000 miles ish.

I'm in the same boat. I just picked up my Ceramic Sliver/Red 2021 GT2 on Sunday as well! Great minds think alike. Congrats!

 

[SoCalSHO]

Very nice!
