Hello: Was about to leave the OC Cars/Coffee on Saturday, and saw a few people around what looked like a Stinger. I asked the young Marketing Asst. and she confirmed it, and had me talk to the Kia Marketing Director who was very friendly and walked me through the car. It was a "Pilot"vehicle that was built in Korea and sent to the US for the team here to evaluate. White with Black interior, nice wheels, Brembo brakes. I should have taken a few pictures, brain cramp. Hatchback with a low roof-line and small windows. I got in the car, hit my foot on the triple ledge, and bumped my head on the roof. Comfortable seats, simple gauge package, with what looks like an added on screen. The Rep reminded me it is also looks like what Mercedes does. LOTS of leg-room, I moved the seat up, and that obviously helped the rear leg room. Started the car , it was very quiet, too quiet, they agreed and have asked Kia to change it. Full Hatch-back with fold down flat rear seats, HMMM. He also told me the Genesis brand will have a 4 door sedan version. The car will be built in Korea only.
