First look at the non-GT

[hej]

A handful of pictures of what is presumably the non-GT Stinger. Jenny, here's you're car

Unsurprisingly, the main difference you'll see is a less sporty/premium looking front end. We caught a glimpse of this over on the "other" Stinger board, but this shot is much more direct and clear.

Looks like we also get some confirmation of what the lower end wheels will be too.

Yeah, a little less aggressive. Plainer wheels. I think the headlights make a big difference. Not bad, though. It's still a good looking car. Thanks for posting it up!

Hmmm. Not bad but I definitely like the GT front end better. I wonder if maybe I'd make some changes up front to enhance the look a little bit. Or maybe it would look better in black. I need to see the rest of the car. In due time!

I don't mind the tame version. I say it looks very good! I'm sure this is the one most people will buy so hopefully it looks good in person.

it looks like the non gt will also have a quad tipped exhaust. not a fan of that. i didn't read the article yet but i'll look again tomorrow. imho the four tips should only be on the high performance version.

Agreed. Quad exhaust seems a bit try hard on the non GT four pot. Perhaps there is a non GT V6? The rest seems to still have a nice balance of design and elements for a base or mid variant. As I have said before the alternate 19 wheels make a big improvement in looks on this model. Refer to white pictures posted earlier to see them.
Nice find hej too....Caradvice.com.au is one of my goto sites.

This looks a lot like what I figured a non GT would look like. Not bad at all. I think this is a pretty bad picture of the car so I'm sure it'll look good in person and much better in press photos. As for the four exhaust pipes. I do agree that should be reserved for high performance models. I think it was the Nissan Maxima that started this trend. Now we have the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata with this look. I think it's silly. It looks great but just shouldn't be on a slow car.
