Heh, Im just doing the training for the Canadian Spec K5s literally right now. It's good. Like really good. It almost makes the beloved Stinger look outdated. Inside and out.

I'm early in the training, but it seems AWD is Standard up here in Canada on it as well! Plus the new engine in the GT looks amazing.

Makes me wonder if they are going to update the Stinger engine. Maybe to the MPI and GDI hybrid (saves us the money from the injector/ valve cleaner). Which might be why we get a carry over this year. Saving a bigger redesign for 2022. New engine and the update to the 10.25 with wireless apple car play/Android auto.

no AWD in the EX or GT trims. That's a big head scratcher.

Technically, it was a 180 degree flat spin upon landing, then the spin continued on the ramp and ground for the other half.

US spec is different. Here in Canada it looks like all trims get AWD except GT

Word of mouth says no AWD in GT for weight, and the AWD system wasn't designed for the horsepower from the GT-engine. But I think really it's about not stepping on the Stinger's toes. If you want a Sports car with AWD spend the bit more and bump to a Stinger type thing.

Yea the stunt was just meh. They should have continued by driving over a speed bump and showing us the sunroof doesn't rattle.

I'm actually really surprised the front suspension stayed together after that. That was a pretty gnarly landing.
