GT2 Hichroma Red or Snow White with Red Leather ? Can't decide!

[rbix]

I don't think there are any bad colors on the Stinger, but I can decide if I want the Hichroma Red with Black interior or the Snow White exterior with the Red Leather! Any one else grappled with this color choice?! What would your recommend?

 

[MerlintheMad]

I would look at other factors: which leaves the best over all impression as a total vehicle? Color is not important if the car is a "symphony" of rolling extraneous noises, for instance. How do the brakes feel? Which one feels like it is YOURS? Both color combos are eye popping (when clean, of course!)

I have Red exterior + black interior and absolutely love it. The red looks good even when very dirty, like now during winter, and black leather is just black leather, classy and tasteful... I think I would get tired of red leather very quickly.

There have been some reports of the red leather wearing/fading more quickly than the black. That may be worth taking into consideration also.

That's a great point. I haven't come across those reports but good to know! Its I bonus that the dealer in the area has the Hichrome Red one in stock.

Where are you located? I love my white on red color combo. But in SoCal it seems that everyone has either a white or light silver car. So it blends in with everything else. Red just looks great among the sea of white cars out there today

The red always looks great, but man when you wash the car and shine it up that color really pops and looks amazing.

I'm in NC. Haven't see a Red Stinger here on the streets where I live, which is great in a way. To your point plenty on White cars from all makes and models every where. I'm a little worried Red will be a cop magnet!

Worry not. That's just an Urban Legend. You're more likely to be stopped based on what kind of car you're driving.

Easier for cops to track in a sea of white cars. But it does look great in red

I don’t always buy a $50,000 car...

but when I do, I crowdsource my decisions.

Heck yeah! Why not? Crowd wisdom > mine.

By the way, nice pics of your Stinger!

GT2 just has to be Hichroma Red w/ Black Leather. Else Enzo's ghost will come and haunt you. . . . . .

can't beat SWP with red nappa leather in a GT2

Didn't buy mine yet, but leaning towards the Red. I watched (okay, re-watched) some YouTube videos from Straight Pipes and Throttle House channels that featured the Hichroma Red and loved it. That car looks so much better in those videos than dealership pictures, and even Kia's pictures.

Wife liked the White better based on the pictures, but stopped saying no after watching the YouTube videos. May be she's starting to turn!

I'm highly biased, but after seeing it in person, HCR was the only obvious choice. Plus it's cool having all the promo literature, pictures, etc. with a HCR Stinger and then having one in your garage.

I have the HC Red and love the color outside. I have to admit I wish the red came with more interior color options though. The black is fine but it can be kind of drab compared to something like the red interiors for instance.

I guess it depends on whether you want a flashy exterior or flashy interior. Keep in mind you are looking at the inside of your car more than the outside.

Go see real-world examples of the cars in both colours, ideally in daylight, overcast, and artificial light. When I started seriously shopping for a Stinger, I was pretty much settled on getting a blue car when I saw online pictures (both advertising and owner supplied), but to me it was no contest when seeing them in person - the white pearl was by far the most appealing to my eye.

That the pearl white was available with the red Nappa leather was a bonus. Once I made the decision, I've never second-guessed it - and after almost two years, I still love these colours best.

You'll find passionate advocates of all the colors and combinations on here. You might as well ask what food tastes best - there's only one opinion that counts.
