Just bought my second Kia

[Kristen B]

I just bought the Federation Orange GTS and wow! This is my second Kia. I previously owned a 2012 Optima SX in Corsa Blue. Loved the heck out of that car, but have a sneaking suspicion that I will love this one more!

Congrats on your beautiful Stinger. I also had an Optima, mine was a Platinum which I traded in for my Stinger. As much as I liked my Optima the Stinger's beyond compare with the road handling and all the tech inside.You will not regret it, it is so much fun to drive and gets a lot of attention.
Welcome to the Hive and enjoy

Welcome! My favorite Stinger color! I demanded it and was told "You can't have it, but lease from us and repaint 'your' car whatever color you like." Then I discovered the Stinger Forum, which introduced me to wrapping. I may still wrap in Fed Orange (I like imagining doing that).

in Australia we have Neon Orange and it is available on all models

I did not know that. What is the difference, if any, in the Orange for Aus?

We need some side-by-side photos of a GTS and Neon Orange. From the on-line photos, I'd never guess it wasn't Federation Orange.

In Australia we have the 200S and GT-Line which are the 2ltr turbo models, both available in Neon Orange, and the 330S and GT which are the 3.3ltr V6TT models , also available in Neon Orange. Do not know if there is a slight difference in the orange colour between Federation Orange in the US, and Neon Orange in Australia, there is also Ember Orange in the UK. The four models in Australia it seems do not have the carbon fibre accents like the US GTS. But like mentioned we can choose Neon Orange in any of the 4 models available here in OZ.

I'm guessing the difference is in marketing only. For example, the ceramic grey colour is called ceramic silver in different markets (and this colour is called both on the Aus website currently)
