Just got a call from the Dealership GM and he advised me my car is on the water , they were able to make the color change I requested so it should be in my garage by early December !! Wooo Hooo !

This ship might have all the Western Canadian orders on it , I wonder if they rail the cars across Canada for the East or do they ship to Montreal or ??? Has any other Canadian been notified yet ??

Nice!!!

Its likely all our Stingers are on the water. They'll all likely arrive in Vancouver and head East via rail.

On a side note, the Kia Canada website has been updated as well!

Something very similar to this:

It's probably a Hyundai/Kia ship with a mixed load of cars, of course, all Stingers destined for Canada will be on it now. And as @ScottyDangles mentioned, cars will continue their journey by train.

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Yep contacted all 6 customers with thier VIN eand dealership ETA so they are aware. Eta's move depending on time at port aka customs. But they are in the system now! Exciting. Im waiting a year to see if they will bring my colour!

The customer service you provide is awesome! Let’s see how long it takes my dealer to let me know. This will be a fun game! :)

Rob when do you anticipate your cars to come in?
 
My dealer ETA is November 25th ,

I see the pre sell is still available for 9 more days , I guess they still havent hit 200 units . I know I was something like #115 .......................
 
November 25th

Whatever the date the cars reach Canada, by virtue of distance to the port, you are guaranteed to be one of the first individuals in Canada to own a Stinger. Your are also going to be one of first to chalk up depreciation. Be proud of it. You win! :)
 
......................I still cant believe they are ONLY $50 K ,
 
9 more days


I can't find it anymore. Maybe they hid it during the redesign of the site?

ONLY $50 K

$50K plus....I'd be hard pressed to find $7K more value than the Cadenza. In any case, it's not cheap. It may be less expensive than the competitors. But only in the long term will we truly know, whether this was a good deal. Usually you get what you pay for. :)

Wait a sec. I stopped by my dealer (who had one of the demo units you're not allowed to drive). And they told me they should start getting them in mid-dec. But didn't hae any more info than that.

How are folks ordering them now? What am I missing??
 
My local dealer said they would have more info later this week and they would call me... Ready for a clear unified message. Also ready for US details on final pricing and even expected mpg on US spec models. Especially if a ship has already left Korea with North American units.
