What was the difference pre-refresh between the NA and Korean? I didn’t know they were different. Honestly I don’t like any version of the new tail lights. Just doesn’t look good to me. I love the originals. They look so good at night
Look at the section of the blinkers, it is black background and you see seperate leds. Same goes with pre refresh. You can upgrade just the outer portion of the taillight.
Unfortunately at least form the picture my tail lights preference : Korea Facelift > Korea pre-facelift > North America pre-facelift > North America facelift.
Korea Facelift clear tail lights checkered flag
NA Facelift, blured tail lights
Blured pre facelift tail lights
Korea pre facelift clear tail lights (checkered flag)

Tail lights are fine, the exhaust tips would even be okay if the actual tail pipes were proportional/larger, but looks fake/ricey. Looking forward to the extra HP the tips buy on the dyno and track slips.
$55,000 for a RWD GT2 is way too high, despite still having 'value' even at that inflated price. My guess is the markup is just so they can 'take that off the sticker' during negotiation. Make it seem like the buyer is getting a better deal at MSRP than they really could be.
Agree that compare to those anything looks great. With or without the body colored plastic covers to make it look like 4 round lights instead of a big all across?

Wait, soooooo in the US, we don't get the sequential turn signals on the 2022? That was literally the best part. Why the hell do we seem to get hosed on this car? Canada gets UVO app that can remote start the car via phone, of course we don't have that. 2018-2021 gets plain yellow turn signals Korean car gets better looking LED turn signals.

I can't comment on them being sequencial or not in USA/CAN but they are not clear like the Korean one. Some members / Dealers here already have the refresh in the USA so they are the one that could answer!
I don't really care for the new wheels. They will be hard to clean. I do appreciate all the pictures for comparison sakes to our Stingers. I kind of like the new KIA badge.
I’m moving on after my lease ends, bummer too, I love my Stinger but only a 3hp Increase, watered down exterior / interior updates for the NA market, is the cherry on top. It’s no longer aggressively priced in my opinion. Too many brands have added more, whether it’s performance or styling related. Just not seeing the “worth it” anymore. Maybe used in a couple years, but I don’t see it now.
It is one of the first dealers in the bay area with a 2022, so maybe that's why the markup? Place I leased my '19 from is still showing 2021 models only.
To each their own but I am the type of person to wait 6 to 18 months to get a car than overpay... but to each their own... I am never in a rush to get the "new best thing" or whatever!
I personally like the 2022 a lot... the exhaust tips look solid and the new color options and different wheel options look fantastic!
