I was pretty set on getting mine in red with black trim, but that metallic grey/black looks so good . Add that with the wet carbon trims and red interior . Im definitely changing my mind

Im digging the sideways Decepticon emblem, and possibly the metallic mustard yellow too. Good find, app master.

Thank you for posting!

Hopefully that dark blue makes it state side, that's pretty much what I came up with in PhotoShop lol (psychic).







I also like these new rims, but they look tougher to keep clean.




I like the new logo E is a must! I am am hoping the changing Kia on Rims will be easy.


Brand Story 01
STINGER EMBLEM
The new emblem of
the Stinger symbolizes maximized performance driving with the engine arrangement of the rear-wheel drive

"Engineered by Excellence" of the core themes
Exclusive (for a select few), Exquisite (sophisticated and sensitive),
Evolutionary meaning of (constantly evolving) put the
presents on the direction of the new premium lineup of the KIA.

I wonder if the Stinger logo/emblem is only for KDM cars. It would be nice if that made it state side too.

Yes! I agree. That dark grey/black does look great! It's the first time I've seen in. I wonder when we're going to get a definitive list/show of colors.

I do like the dark blue too, but I'm wondering if that's a new color or just the same blue we've seen in darker lighting.

Oh man, I'm hoping that's a new blue. I'm seconding guessing myself now lol. Hats of to Kia if that's the same paint.

Just noticed that not all cars have the hood vents .....

Great catch, I didn't even notice they weren't there. Since they don't serve a purpose other than aesthetics, that'd be a nice option if your could delete them when ordering the car. That may make the car appealing to the crowd who are turned off by some of the more flashy attributes of the Stinger.

So excited to see that color as that was exactly what I was hoping for....dark gray metallic, add in the red interior plus the carbon fiber flourishes. I'm sold.

The blue & white stinger (without the hood vent) doesn't have the GT badge .. although the blue does have the brembos ...
I wonder if the hood vent is only applicable to the GT trim level

Wow! It looks like they had a great show in Seoul! So much has happened in a couple of days. I like the new badge. It's unique and better than the KIA badge IMHO. The blue is really nice but the yellow and dark grey are so nice as well. I'm not sure red is my favorite color for the Stinger anymore. We need a new vote on colors! I'm on the fence about that logo on the rear hatch. I'll need to see it better before I make a real decision on that. But I'm getting really anxious about this car! I can't wait to see it in person and actually sit inside.

Oh, that's good thinking. And I forgot to mention that. I bet the regular Stinger doesn't have the hood vents and the GT does.

Damn you Kia! Im torn on color and choices now. Yellow, carbon bits, full black roof, alternate wheels, nicer badges to boot. Decisions decisions.???

Oh wait .... I have six months to decide

Good spot. Noticed that all the body panels are the same too. None of the tamer body styling are shown, even on the non gt versions.

Are you feeling that the GT will have the hood vents but the non-GT will not and that both versions will have the fender vents?

Yeah, on the hood vents, as far as I can tell. Although all versions shown always had the fender vents. But we've seen a spec with different front and rear bumpers assuming these were base models and still might be for the rest of the world. I think it's accepted that the domestic market always gets the most variants.
