Has anyone got a 2018 Build Stinger GT this year yet?

[Kia Stinger]

I'm posting this for @Morky who appears to have inadvertently sent this to me as a direct message...

Hi guys, I am from Melbourne Australia.

I received a call last week that my New baby will be in my garage in two weeks time.
AWESOME! little exited and some kind unreal for waiting for so long.
I can't wait!
I had an order back in mid October 2017 for a 2018 *BUILD Aurora Black GT with the Red Nappa interior that was due next month and with a contract agreement from me with my Kia dealer for 2018 March delivery. NOT A DAY LATER!

So my question to all is, if anyone here know or if anyone here or from Australia had a 2018 *Build delivery yet? or are any out there about to get delivery of their 2018 BUILD Stinger Build any time soon this Year?

I ordered mine in early Jan to get 2018 build. I have been given the Kia order number but not the VIN yet. Expected delivery is end of March, maybe April.

Great Tyse they picked up on orders now I think and they keep arriving in dealerships more regular these days.
I hope you get yours soon!

Hey there @Morky , has your dealership given you a VIN ? if the dealership has a VIN for your Stinger, it is built and possibly on its way over soon.

Hi @Tyse , the VIN is most important, tells you that your Stinger is not just an order, but a real and built car, keep checking with your dealership every now and then.

If you didn’t enjoy driving it, you’d be dead inside .

I ordered a factory build in late January 2018, nothing "special" just a red/black GT1 AWD DriveWise. Dealer was allegedly told by the Kia rep that it would be built this month (Feb) and due early March. No serial number yet -- only ordered 3 weeks ago.

Things move faster in good old USA. 3 months in Oz and we are closer than you are to Korea!

I think you guys got your shipments before we did. Late 2017 in Canada I think and of course Korea, etc. Nothing here until Jan 2018 when they popped up on the showfloors. I hope you're right. It's a long boat ride, train ride and transport to the middle of the U.S. I'm still enjoying my Holden-built GTO after 13 years which I'm keeping, but really want to get my hands on that Stinger.
