    How many people are waiting for the 2019 Kia Stinger due to missing features?

    Atlantica was cancelled. The 360 camera will be available for the 2019 MY.

    Those that are parking their Stingers outdoors, hows your paint holding up?

    If you don't mind spending $1500 to $2000, get a ceramic coating. Depending on the quality of the coating, you won't have to wax your car for 3 to almost 5 years. It won't protect against dings and scratches but is superior to resisting the elements. You can also put it on wheels and brake...

    *****2019 US Kia Stinger*****

    As for the reduced top speed with the AWD system AND the 18" wheels, I think KIA is trying to make it clear that any car with 18" wheels will have a reduced top speed. I believe that an AWD car with 19" wheels will still have the 167 top speed. It's possible that the wording of their...

    *****2019 US Kia Stinger*****

    This is great news:) I'm glad most of the missing features are going to make it. Too bad about the micro suede headliner though. When I sat in a pre-production Stinger at the 2017 NYIAS, that headliner was pretty sweet. Hopefully we get some more color combinations in the US and I'm hoping...

    Stupid-Questions Time!

    I could be wrong but I don't think you can "order" a car. You can go on the website and build what you want and you can go to the dealer and order what you want but I don't believe anyone in S. Korea receives your order and builds what you specify. Instead, S. Korea builds a bunch of cars and...

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    Does Brembo make the rotors or do they just make the calipers on the Stinger???

    Cracked bumper on new car.

    I've read about a problem similar to this on another forum. I think with the other one, the bumper was getting similar damage around the headlight area. Apparently there's some flexing going on with the bumper when driving and it causes the bumper to rub against the headlight or in your case...

    Are wash brushes safe on the paint?

    I wouldn't use the brush for cleaning myself. If it's soft enough, it might be good for removing snow off the car in the winter time but, as you said, the paint on these Stingers is really delicate and in many cases defective with paint peeling and flaking issues that KIA is currently looking into.

    Door Misalignment Issues

    Do you remember if it came that way when new or did that happen over time? And how do they fix that? Do they get two big guys and one pulls the top of the door one way while the other pushes the other way??? LOL Hopefully it's just the trim and not the door frame itself...

    Am I seeing this right 31mpg?

    Nice! But what engine do you have? I'm guessing the 3.3TT?

    Painted rear corner reflectors

    LOL... You don't really believe that do you? :) I mean, if you really like it and want to do it, go for it. But they do know the difference and err on the side of caution when they're not sure. I'm just trying to give you guys a heads up is all. Example: Remember the Pontiac G8 GT? There...

    Painted rear corner reflectors

    Is this legal in the US? I think the USDOT requires a rear side reflector and you might get a ticket for painting over it. When I first saw the Stinger, I wasn't crazy about the rear side reflector but now I do kind of like it.

    KIA begins production on the 2019 Stingers

    I'm very happy to hear that production on the 2019's is starting up. Any word on the missing features on the US Stingers??? Maybe too early for that info?

    M5 take down

    Great win for the Stinger! Those V10 M5's came with 500hp/380 lb,ft and either a 7 speed SCT or a manual. I think this one was a manual because I think I saw the nose dip down once or twice during the run.

    Adding Stinger Emblem to the dash. What do you think?

    The font looks good but it's a bit too big and the lettering is too thick for me. A nice idea though.

    KIA offers full manual over-ride on 2019 Stinger

    Will this make it to the 2019 USA Stingers too? So far, if I understand the article correctly, I'm guessing no.

    2018 Stinger GT2 - Exiting the Hype Train

    Looked like a great and honest review. I'm really surprised on all the creaks and rattles he experienced. That's the first I've heard of that although I did read recently (I can't remember if it was this forum or another Stinger forum) that when the car is driven diagonally over uneven...

    Would the Kia Stinger see a second generation?

    I sure hope there will be a second gen Stinger and I don't see why they wouldn't do it.

    How many people are waiting for the 2019 Kia Stinger due to missing features?

    You are correct, usually it is around October, give or take a couple of months. That's why I remember it so well because I thought it was very unusual for the next year model to come out almost right after the initial debut of the car in the US. About 6 months in this case. But it all remains...

    How many people are waiting for the 2019 Kia Stinger due to missing features?

    The rumor I read when the 2018's came out in the US was that the 2019's were going to come out early this year, like April to June timeframe. It's almost May now and I with the exception of these silly special edition models, I haven't heard anything new. Stay tuned I guess...
