Kia Stinger facelift confirmed, next generation still up in the air

^ Yes, but they're basically paying twice for an exhaust system.

So? It's not even offered as an option here, and we can't get the LSD (Limited Slip Differential) with AWD nor UVO Link at any price here in America.. and I'd be willing to pay extra for all three of those.

I would have paid extra for bi-modal exhaust as well. I paid 1500 for the M Performance exhaust on my new car. 1500 bucks for an axleback! All because of the simplicity of no arguments when returning the lease (it's a factory option), plus I tell my wife the exhaust is "factory" so she can't complain that it's louder (which has worked so far!).

Yeah... and our Aussie friends get the bimodal exhaust. Hopefully 2021 will give everyone in all markets all the goodies.

KIA Australia developed and produce the bimodal exhaust independently of KIA worldwide. As KIA worldwide doesn't make them, these exhausts aren't available in any other country. I wouldn't be surprised if the rumoured bimodal exhaust for the Stinger facelift will either be a clone of the one developed by KIA Australia or at the very least, based on it.
