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

[DigDug]

Since we all now know the 2018 Kia Stinger is missing a few features and color combo, how many people are waiting for the 2019 Kia Stinger hoping that these features and options will be available?

Surround View Monitor (360? camera). I considered voting the "if a good deal" option, but I seriously doubt we'll see any deals until well into the '18 roll out, which will just make me want to double-down on holding out for a '19.

I would love it if KIA came out with a dual mode exhaust system in addition to a 360 camera and more exterior/ interior color options in 2019 too.

Hoping for the 360 camera, a wireless phone charger option and a good selection of mix and match interior and exterior colors. I can wait and see what they will offer in the 19's.

Wife is waiting for better color selection on the Premium.

In sweden we get the 360 camera and wireless charger. Strange they don't offer it everwhere.

Do you guys also have Drive Assist?

Waiting for missing features and more color choices for both exterior and interior.

We get lane assist, but it only lasts about 10-15 seconds or so. Also the adaptive cruise control, but I guess that one is standard everywhere.
What I know we don't get is the fancy rear view mirror with compass and buttons for garage control. Also there is no automatic parking.

This page is in swedish, but the pictures show all the goods: http://www.kia.com/se/nya-bilar/stinger/upptack/
Also we get 9 colors to choose from, but only 2 engine alternatives; 3.3L and the Diesel.

My choice was the 3.3L Petrol. Will be delivered around April.

I like how you get to chose the type of floor mats for the interior and embedding too. Wonder if we can order the same floor mats in the US.

P2M w/red leather isn't over here... Yet... Soooooo whenever that becomes available, I'll probably buy that one if I haven't picked up a Genesis yet

That Kia logo projected onto the ground is pretty slick.

Do you know if we can order these official KIA EU accessories from our local dealers or through your dealer?

They are not available stateside. You'd have to order them online and have them shipped.

I am waiting. Hoping they add rear heated seats and 360 camera to US models. Also hoping they do something with that ridiculous reflector on the rear quarter panels and add some more color and interior options.

Hey [MENTION=362]Helipilot2[/MENTION], welcome!

Those reflectors on the rear 1/4's are a tribute to the tails on the S & R of the Stinger logo on the trunk.

I'm actually waiting for 2020 when my leases exire on my current 2017s. Then I'll get a leftover 2019 or 2020.

 

[BULGOgGT]

Perhaps taking delivery of a 2019 in December 2018!

It seems they are only releasing the Atlantica stateside, unless of course they are going to announce other models later on in the year (which is what in hoping).

It's a marketing ploy from Kia to release the "Atlantica" Stinger. Most other countries get Deep Chroma Blue as a standard color choice as well as the missing features.
