Kia Stinger at Auto Shows?

[seanmccubb]

Is there a way to find out if Kia will be showing the Stinger at auto shows across this US? In particular, the DFW Auto Show coming up this month.

The KC auto show had a roster of brands and models on their website. Id checks yours and see if the same info is there.

Yeah, I saw your post about the KC auto show and the Singer not being there. Unfortunately, the DFW page only shows that Kia will be there.

Guess I might just have to cross my fingers!

Here at least, the auto show displays are manned (or womanned) by local dealers. You could try to find out which one is running th Kia booth and see if they'll tell you.

Kia showing up at an auto show without the Stinger is like... I don't know... What is it like? Pizza with no cheese?

So I called some dealerships around DFW and none of them knew... So I decided to tweet @kia and they confirmed it would be there this week!

I will be going to the auto show this weekend, is there anything you guys want me to ask/take pictures of while I'm there?

I'd like to see some underbody images, as odd as that sounds. Supposed to be flat.

• Additional/better pictures of the infotainment system. Possibly find out if its preproduction final build.
• Pictures of the trunk that give a better sense of what can be fit in there. Particularly with the seats folded. Get a friend to climb in there and lay down for us (yes I'm serious). Also of them sitting up. Maybe some pictures from the side. A few of us here are pretty curious just what could be fit back there, and we're concerned that it looks pretty shallow and small considering it's a big car with a hatchback.
• Show us whats underneath the floorboard in the trunk. I'm expecting to see a full size spare, maybe some other crap.
• What does the center console storage look like, and how does the cover open? Is this where the Qi wireless charger is going to be housed? Kinda curious about the glove box storage too.
• If possible, some pictures of the heads up display in action.
• Find out what the foremost adjustment button on the drivers seat is for. I'm assuming thigh support, but I've not seen it confirmed. If it is, maybe a picture of the seat with the settings at both extremes.
  
• Give us a sense of how big the sunroof is and what it looks like when open if possible.
• Some shots of you pulling a rad burnout with one hand on the steering wheel and the other out the window flashing gang signs.

Also, I'd be interested to find out how big the fuel tank is, and get your opinion of how much cheap plastic is in the interior. Thanks in advance, I know this is a long list.

I'm a bit curious too, having seen the care that Hyundai put into the Genesis/G80 underside packaging.

I was unable to get near the car at the Philly Auto Show. It was on an elevated rotating pedestal. So no sitting inside the car, etc. I wish you luck in not having the same constraints.

Fast forward to 8:44:

That's a great idea! I just did the same... I hope it's at the Fort Lauderdale Auto Show this weekend...

 

[seanmccubb]

These are all great questions! I'll try to get answers to all of them.

Yeah I'm hoping they have the car down on the floor so I can sit in it. If not I'll be asking a lot of questions haha

...and the Stinger will NOT be at the Fort Lauderdale Auto Show... Jeez... I don't even want to go anymore...

It's like porn where everybody is wearing clothes and sleeping in separate beds.

Good find. I must assume that the only reason I hadn't seen that footage already was because I couldn't deal with the videos background music.

I watch most of these walk around / music only videos with the sound off.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up, fellow Floridian! The Miami Auto Show is at the end of September this year. I hope it's there as well. I'd love to get some Stinger pictures before they're out rolling around on the streets. That'll be pretty late to the game but I seem to be making a habit of that lately...

Fingers crossed that this time frame is also close to the on sale date for the Stinger. You might be able to get pics of the official production version at that point. While I am at it there might be official pricing, option package information, etc.
