<div class="bbWrapper">I went on kia.com here in the USA and discovered on the build your own link that you can now get a hi chroma red GT2 with a red interior. SWEET! You couldn&#039;t do that before.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I can see red in black (better to my eye than black/black) but I think red/red would be just a bit too much. And red leather would be more difficult to maintain, I would expect.<br /> <br /> Many years ago I had a Plymouth GTX, bright blue metallic with white vinyl top (remember kids when they put vinyl tops on cars?) and white vinyl interior. Yes, it was vinyl, but it took a lot of effort to keep it clean, and eventually began to show a bit of wear and discoloration around the seams where clothing dye (I guess) wouldn&#039;t come out with cleaners.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Still no Micro Blue/Red leather.. le sigh...</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">not only do i remember vinyl tops, do you remember the paisley top on the mopar cars? my middle brother owned a firebird with white vinyl and the younger of my older brothers had a cutlass supreme with white velour. oooooh, that car was smokin!!!!! granted, he also wore a leisure suit at the time, but hey, it was still cool to a young kid.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Yeah, <a href="https://stingerforum.org/members/2150/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="2150" data-username="@Weareblondi">@Weareblondi</a> my first new car was that &#039;70 Plymouth GTX. Big Goodyear F60-15 tires with raised white letter. I re-badged it to look like a Belvedere and turned it into a &quot;sleeper.&quot; <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Can someone photoshop a louver onto the stinger? I loved them as a kid.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The Chroma Red would not match the red interior well. Just my opinion.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Actually looks good. Enough black in there to give it some contrast.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I just wish the blue with light grey interior had been available in Canada... Oh well</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">To me, the thing with the all black interior (as nice as it is) is, it&#039;s too much black. Black dash, black seats, black roof liner... it&#039;s too much for me. My favorite interiors for the Stinger is the red/black and light grey/black interiors. I like some contrast to break up the monotony. Personally I&#039;d prefer a GT2 in Panthera Metal with the red and black interior but they don&#039;t make that yet for the GT2 in the USA.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">We need some more exterior colors and a couple versions of brown on the interior.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I personally find the red interior to be very classy. I was sold on it the moment I saw it (the red on red pic I posted, one of the Korean market imports for display only.)<br /> <br /> One of the things I love is that it still has a primarily black &quot;front&quot; interior, unlike some others (Porsche, for example) that even have a red dash - which looks horrific in my opinion. The Kia &quot;red&quot; is very deep/dark, and looks very luxurious.<br /> <br /> I do actually like the look of the light grey, but it&#039;s impractical for me in a daily driver. <br /> <br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 1733" data-quote="StingerGT68" data-source="post: 40303" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/goto/post?id=40303" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-40303">StingerGT68 said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> Where did you see that? </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> I photoshopped it, as requested..</div>
