Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

I was forgetting the Fed Orange GT2 that went out in 2020; how many of those sold? Any guesses? I don't know enough to guess; I know of a couple of forum members who have 2020 Fed Orange GT2.

Don't know how many 2020 GT2s sold but they are Canada only cars just like the GTS in federation orange is a limited edition car in the states only just 800 made and KIA had a lot of problems with the yellow where they had to repaint cars or otherwise make it right with the owners....jus sayin

Where do you live if it's not that far I'll drive to you so you can see a federation orange GTS up close and personal + it would give me an excuse to put some miles on her lol

I have my location in my member info. Where are you?

Are you sure that 2020 GT2 in Fed Orange was only Canada?

Yes, the Sunset Yellow was a cluster "F"; even so, most of them were fine, but there were enough messed up ones that Kia treated the color as a monolithic problem, which was smart.

Interesting on the 2022 how they did away with the plastic cap over the bolts. I've experimented with using center caps on my rims but they don't really look right open. The new rims suit open bolts better

Yep I'm pretty sure in fact there was a big news article about a month ago about how the canadians were pissed because KIA released the car there calling the paint "neon orange" and touting it as being a drift car like the GTS in the states when in reality it's a GT2 optioned as a GT2

The states in 2020 also got orange as an option

Hmm . I swear I saw they did and even had conversations about how the special edition colors became options in later years so it was possible deep chroma blue became an option. .. which it didn't. I know Canada got it as an option for 2021 models ... But I know I built one in orange in the configurator online right before we bought our indigo ... However I don't see any 2020 stingers in orange for sale anywhere nor do I see it in any documentation ... Maybe it was a mistake on the website..

Federation Orange came up as a paint option for the 2020 GT2

I'm in NW Ohio I had a 2020 gt2 in ceramic for 6 months rolled it on black ice right after I broke 10k miles back in December. Been in a 2021 gt2 in panthera metal since January. Got both from Kentucky bc the dealership up here never had either color with the red interior and awd. Besides a white one in Cleveland two years ago the only place I see stingers is on the internet or my driveway. Idk how people shop for cars bc everything about this missle makes sense. My only complaint is my brick foot and the constant battle of "do I really need to buy that"

Hi, @Joshuagt291 : odd place and timing to introduce yourself, but welcome regardless. Hopefully this Stinger will last a ton longer than the last one.

The post count is what changes your title here. As for Stingers in the wild I did manage to see one i haven't seen previously at a local trading post I frequent near work.

Chatted with a guy with a white stinger at jewel in west Dundee I believe. Didn’t get his name or a picture but he was cool.

White Stinger sighting this afternoon at the gas station while filling up. Lots of Stingers in the North County area of STL.

After a dry spell of a month and two days, I saw a Ceramic Silver at around noon today, eastbound on 9000 South at 3400 West.
