Rafa Signature Edition

[Madman]

The Sharapova edition has bigger headlights! And better body lines,lol.

Plus, being inferior to others in the range it can be (illegally) enhanced.....

AV8R, how do you know the Sharapova Edition has bigger headlights, maybe they are fake, and if it has better body lines, that means softer body lines as well, i like, do you have any photos to share...haha

Now if it was the Sharapova edition.....

Searched the whole Kia AU website, no mention of a Sharapova Edition..haha

Does this mean this RAFA edition will be generally good on all driving conditions, but undisputedly the best on clay?

Perhaps it will start breaking down after winning some major races, but then come back to win two more before start breaking down again?

If this is the case, i'll wait for the Swiss version.

You can get a car bra for it for protection ! I think it’s a body kit for the softer body lines lol.

Ok , visited my local Kia dealership today, 2nd time in 3 days, because they placed a Rafa Signature Edition Stinger in Panthera Metal colour in the showroom, had to see it. Impressive in person, of course it is a 2.0ltr turbo, with brown interior, no heated or cooled seats, no 360 Camera, 19inch rims, but no Brembo brakes, no power hatch, no D shaped steering wheel, and the Build Date is NOV 2017.
I know we have seen this model already, but i would like to post my photos from today.

Wow what an ugly stripe on the side which looks horrible with the deep chroma blue. That‘s a limited edition I definetly would not go for.

Looked even worse face to face! We saw it while in Melbourne for the Australian Open.

Poor Rafa they should have called it the hewitt edition might have been some ground swell of patriotism towards it. Could just see me with the window down, arm bent yelling "C'mon"

 

[AV8R]

They are only selling it to get rid of stock they can’t sell in the basic 2.0 L model.

I thought the ugly stripes are there to prevent people buying them.

I think kia need to fire their marketing people. The colour scheme is yuk plus. It looks like a cheap hot wheels toy.

Ya all gonna hate me, about turn saw the Rafa edition in black at the dealers today......um...ar...i didn't mind it, the black and yellow was ok and the brown interior was acceptable, very unsual lightish brown. Just saying visually it didnt offend like the pictures did.

You're right, seeing the Rafa in person looks so much nicer, the one i saw at my dealership sort of looked good, but not for me, and now it's SOLD, i guess some people will like it enough to buy it, plus you get a FREE Rafael Nadal tennis racquet.

You colour blind? Hahaha I have not seen it in real life only pics, so I’m a bit biased.
