2023 Stinger GT2

I just put a deposit on a 2023 Stinger that should be landing next week. Anybody know if there are any changes from 22 to 23? Heard screen is different, brakes are upgraded because of current issues. Can't find a single thing online.

Doesn't appear any different from a '22. There is the new grand tourer special edition model.

When did the GT-Line lose launch control?

That's what I was wondering. I bought a 22 gt line with upgrade package. But don't have launch .

What is a Rick Case?

I've noticed dealers in the south and in smaller towns tend to add their own badging to the back of the vehicle when sold. Here is a Forte from the same dealer.

Does that come off (easily)? My dealer had some kind of static cling logo attached. Removed it same evening I brought the car home - along with the advertising license plate frames.

I suppose it depends on how determined the dealer is to have their logo on their car. Some dealers will use a vinyl type material and some dealers will use a chrome badge with the actual double sided sticky stuff on it. This specific example appears to be a vinyl type badge.

^^Ouch. I actually started peeling a corner off while still at the dealer. If it didn't come off easily, I'd demand they remove before I signed off on the car.

There used to be a dealer around here that would rivet their badge to the trunk. Remove it and you're left with holes. Most people don't seem to care. You see even older cars with the dealer plate frames still attached. I prefer a clean look.

Note the cannon launcher exhaust. It's a 4into1 with a cat. Heavy and costly (in terms of power loss).

My old bike (from 2008). The word kawasaki is raised individual letters. Does well for advertising brand name but a nightmare to keep clean, esp when bugs embed themselves. That required some fishing line to remove.

That's outrageous! I would refuse to accept the vehicle.

No way I'm rollin with a dealer license plate frame or anything advertising them. It's tacky imo and ruins the look of a new car. I picked the 1 Stinger that didn't have dealership sticker/vinyl on the hatch. They said they used to remove it but don't anymore because of incompetent people in the body shop. What a ringing endorsement for your dealership I suppose?

Thankfully the only dealership branding that was on mine were license plate frames. Those came off the second I got it home. Honestly I was kind of shocked as my previous vehicle from that branded owner of dealerships had always put the plastic brand on it with double sided tape.

It's the local kia dealer

Around here I see Jerry Seiner stickers on the back of Stingers; have probably seen half a dozen over the years, they mark all their cars. But mine didn't have that, because it was a trade, to get Silky Silver, from Doug Smith in American Fork, and either they don't mark their cars or else the Silky Silver was too new to be marked yet. In any case, my Stinger was completely clean.

I just saw it today. No GT-1, like my 2022. The extra $10K was just not worth it to me.
