Hello all... Glad to be here! As topic stated I'm a new Stinger owner. 2022 GT-Line, was not really aware of all the levels but so far I like my new ride. Ready to get the tint added and paint protection on it. Black/red interior. Traded in Optima SXL so I lost some features with the new ride but nothing that was used often I'll post pics soon!

I also traded in an Optima SXL on a GT Line Stinger with black/red interior! Welcome to the forum! What color is your Stinger?

The Stinger is black with red interior. My Optima was black on black.

Howdy and welcome. I think that the 2.5L is going to sell relatively well. They are showing up on the forum, considering that they've only just come out.

Welcome to the forum and congrats.
CALLED IT!!!!!! LOL.......
I have seen 2 '22 GT-lines and one GT on the road......."I've got a bad feeling about this......." good 'ol Star Wars reference referring to the GT sales.....Don't take it wrong, GT is still an exceptional vehicle and stands to be reckoned with but replacing the 2.0 with the 2.5 was "money' on Kia's part and based upon some of the prices I have seen at a couple of dealers, it will be a lot harder for the "first time" Stinger buyer to pay the extra $$$$$$ for the GT........good thing is, this may be what the doctor ordered with regards to the Stinger's longevity.........tried to get my local dealer to get a 2.5 on the lot so that I could take the test drive for myself, unfortunately, even if they get one........that time will not come.........
Will be starting a new thread shortly with another "Star Wars" theme..........

Welcome home! I had the 2013 SXL and loved that car for what it was..checked every box for my daily. That said the 2.5 is intriguing option for the “in between” SXL and my GTS.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
