Hello From Morocco

[Adilator]

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded to a 2023 Stinger GT2 from my trusty Optima.
This is only one in two Stingers in my country of Morocco and the only GT one (the other is a 4 cyl). Kia is not selling these cars over here and their flagship is the EV6 GT but I decided to order this instead.
My car's in a pretty classy dark blue/purple with a full brown interior and carbon fiber.
Here are some pics and I'm looking forward to chatting with you in the future.

Only two! How cool is that? That's one of the best colors, but they are all good. It's called Deep Chroma Blue in the States and Indigo Blue elsewhere. The brown interior and CF accents make that a "Limited Edition" - I don't remember the official name for it.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us! And congratulations on your new Stinger GT! Nice upgrade from the Optima. Big difference in power and I'm sure you can tell the difference in how it rides. I bet you're seeing a lot of people stare... Are you sporting the Kia badges or have you swapped to other designs?

Hi thanks for the warm welcome!
It has the Kia center badge on the boot with a small stinger emblem on the left. Thinking of switching to the big Stinger logo and a V6 badge. What do you think?
As for the optima, its seats are just so much more comfortable!
Another thing specced in my stinger is wider pirreli pzero tires. 275 at the back.

Yes, the Stinger has a wider stance than the Optima. Look great and handles amazingly for a roomy, comfortable luxury car. And, yes, most people swap the KIA badge in the back with the 14" STINGER emblem - and then move that smaller emblem on the left to the front grille... It's a pretty cool look. For the front, an oval Stinger emblem is pretty unique...

Do you know what other interior colors exist? I never seen anything other than black dashboards and steering wheels on the net.

I've seen pictures of light grey, white, tan and of course red, brown and black. Are you saying the dashboard is brown? Can't tell in your pic. From pics I've always assumed that the upholstery color is only seats and door cards. The steering wheel leather on all trims and years is black only.

Yeah I wasn't talking about the seats. My car has a full brown leather dashboard and steering wheel, gear shift and door cards. Never seen one like it. I'll post better pics soon.
