Hello

[More Power]

Hello,
It is with a bit of sadness and a lot of excitement that I am posting to this forum. I will be saying goodbye to my 2016 Optima SXL tomorrow and picking up my Stinger GT Limited. I am really looking forward to see how it performs in a Canadian winter.
Cheers,
Rick

Welcome aboard, Rick! And thank you for signing up. 2016 Optima SXL? What color? Post a picture! That's a heck of a nice car. And pretty much NEW! Do you always go through cars so quickly? Well, you're replacing it with something even better - so good for you! I expect to see pictures tomorrow! And a full review.

When did you place your order @More Power? And what part of Canada are you in?

I placed my order in July, before the Canadian pre-order came out. It's been a long wait, but the snow tires finally showed up, so I can pick it up tomorrow. I am in northern Alberta. Cheers

Now that the tinting is done, I will be taking pictures tomorrow when I pick it up. It's the thunder gray with red leather interior. Had the rear windows limo tinted. Cheers

Wow, you've been waiting since July and you pick it up tomorrow. What a LONG wait. I'd be going nuts. But tomorrow is going to be a great day. You Canadians are lucky!

It's been well worth the wait!

Snow White Pearl with Red Leather..

That should look sharp, snow white pearl was my first choice for colour, but I'm really happy with the gray.

Thunder Grey is pretty much the favorite of the community so far!

My Optima was black, it had less than 12,000 Kms on it when I traded it in, it was my winter beater, just like the Stinger will be, I ride my motorcycles all summer so my four wheeled transportation sits most of the summer.

Cool. That's great that you can keep the miles off your cars. Maybe not so good for the motorcycles but at least you get to enjoy them. The Stinger GT is certainly going to be a great "winter beater"!

We've had a fair bit of snow since I picked up the Stinger and I have to say it's one of the best vehicles I've driven on snowy roads, as good as or better than my wife's Sorento, except for the ground clearance!

This is good to know and I've heard this a few times now.
