Pictures and Info from the 2017 DFW Auto Show

[seanmccubb]

The Stinger GT was at the DFW auto show this last weekend but it was on a rotating platform sadly... A couple of members here posted questions for me to ask/answer while I was there. Unfortunately, the Kia rep knew nothing more about the Stinger than we did as she read the details from the Kia webpage.

Here are some answers and pictures I did get, with a full album here.
--> Full Album <--

My favorite picture:

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

This is the best picture I got, but the underbody does appear to be pretty flat.

• Additional/better pictures of the infotainment system. Possibly find out if its preproduction final build.

Here is the only picture I got of the infotainment system, pretty much the same as we already know.

Show us whats underneath the floorboard in the trunk. I'm expecting to see a full size spare, maybe some other crap.

The Kia rep told me there is a compact spare in the trunk.

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.

The Stinger GT on display had the smaller shifter and no cupholder cover. I'm also guessing the QI charger will be in the center, in front of the shifter as the Kia Optima is the same way.

Give us a sense of how big the sunroof is and what it looks like when open if possible.

Here are some pictures of the sunroof, it's pretty big and probably has two sections like the Optima.

It was awesome seeing the Stinger GT in person, I can't wait for it to be released!

You got some great pictures! Thank you for sharing them. The red is looking extra sharp in some of those pictures...

@seanmccubb great pics!!!

I wonder if the engine size determines some of the interior options? I'm really hoping Qi charging and cupholder cover make to the US no matter the trim.

Looks like a decent size intercooler behind that lower grille too.

Yeah of course, this forum is a great resource and community already, just wanting to add to it!

Yes, thank you for me also! This place was just a few of us for awhile but I'm glad to see things picking up with new members actually posting! It's about time.

Here's another review of the Stinger, all in Korean of course haha
He is at a HUGE Kia dealership!

This shows a lot of the car and a great shot at the underbody, it looks great! <3

(Link is broken.. Start at 12min mark for the underbody)

Great find

 

[app_master]

Awesome. That is the red/red nappa I'm looking for. Cheers

 

[Marco-Oz]

Yes, Good find.

Just thinking, with this car being so internationally anticipated, wouldn't it be expected that at least one reviewer from an English speaker country would have flown to Korea to do a video review? I understand that this car is spec'd for the Korean market but I would really Love to understand what he's saying, seems really informative.
Just getting impatient.
