Now I can officially say it looks great even in white.

The design is so great that it looks good in any color.

I have always thought it looked good in white. Until I saw it in the dark gray metallic it was my first choice (of course they had only released 3 or 4 colors to that point: white, red, blue, and then yellow). The gray will be more difficult to keep it clean, but it just looks so good. If I see it in person and change my mind for some reason, then white will most likely get my $$. Silver is the only other option but have not seen a picture of the silver yet; if it is like the light silver metallic they have done on some of their vehicles in the past then it will work. Most likely though it will be a more traditional silver since they have the gray metallic.

The Yellow is fantastic but I don't think I could bring myself to look at that color daily for the next 10 years.

There is only ONE design flaw with this car, the grill.. Look at the Kia soul grill side by side to the Stinger (you'll see what I'm talking about). It is the ONLY complaint I have with it.

I think that's Kia's design theme is to have those kidney shaped grills.

I can understand that to a point. However, look at the chevy cars and their grills. The Traverse, the Equinox, the Cruze, they all have very similar front fascia's. Now look at the Vette, there is zero resemblance. I am by no means relating this car to the caliber of a Vette but, there is a distinction between the mainstream family cars and the top-of-the-line Chevy. I think they shouldn't done a bit of change from the mainstream Kia's to the Stinger.

Regardless, it's a beautiful car that I will be noting until it drops in showrooms.

I agree with your point, I remember reading somewhere where Kia mentioned they are aiming to compete more with BMW and Audi. And if you look at both BMW and Audi you can see a lot of family resemblance between their top tier and entry level models.

I'm sure it won't turn anyone off. That white sure is easy on the eyes ^^
