Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

I almost forgot, now mind you this was back in June 2018, but parked next to a white Stinger at a baseball tournament.

But you remembered taking the pic and found it. Good one! Is that a Base or Premium? How does one tell from outward appearances?

To be honest I'm not sure. The base has an optional moonroof, so visually it could be either in this picture. I don't recall if there was any kind of badging from the rear to distinguish it. Anyone here that has either the base or Premium could chime in?

Looks like a 2.0 Base judging by it not having the radar in the upper grill. Definitly a 2.0 though.

Ah, didn't catch that one!
 
All of the driver assistance features are optional on the Premium too. So a missing "radar" panel doesn't tell us.

I don't think so.

^^^You may be right on the sunroof. I took a peek at a 2018 brochure, and it doesn't indicate the sunroof as an option. For 2019, you can now get the "Sun & Sound" package, which is the sunroof, LED headlights, larger touchscreen (not sure if it's the 7- or 8-inch version), and upgraded audio system (not clear if it's Harman/Kardon).

So, since the Premium does have a sunroof as standard, then very likely that's what this is.
 
Spotted a white Stinger, maybe a Premium? parked on Westwood Blvd. in West L.A. by the Ross Dress for Less.
YOHB?

Yes. I didn't notice the sunroof before I asked my question. :P

What's a "gt premium"? That is a US trim that does not exist. At least you got a pic. Way to go. :thumbup:

So, a week and a day after I get my Stinger, I see two of them within minutes of reach other in one night. First I saw a white one heading the other way on a service road near the dealership. I don't believe it was a dealer car as they didn't have any white ones on the lot (and no new inventory) since getting mine. It was at speed, so don't know the trim level. The second one was parked at a Hyundai dealership (black base model), he was waiting for who I assume is his gf. I was there to look at the G70.
 
Two sightings today.
1. @11.25am Black on Briens Rd Northmead turning right into Redbank Rd
2. @12.45pm Ceramic Grey parked in main st of Warragamba
Edit...and a third
3. @1.43pm Black on Western Hwy heading east near Cumberland overpass.

Silky Silver (looked like a 2.0) this morning on 29N in Gainesville. I was behind, they continued straight on 29N while I took 66E.
First one I have seen in quite some time.
 
Met a Woman who flagged me down reversing out of a target parking spot and pointed at her Stinger. From there, it was about a 20 minute conversation of talking about the stinger, cost, mods, and why she got one. Great meet. Introduced her to the forum as well20190525_114927.webp 20190525_113040.webp
 
Saw a white one going up Cornell toward blue ash from Sharonville, I was going in the opposite direction. It's amazing how sexy these things look on the road.
