Color possibilities

[moinmoin]

What about the grey leather?

David, it does not matter what I think, all of us on this forum are into heavy guessing and hope that our wishes come to fruition.

What I think would be most important for a two things to happen asap: 1. Disclosure of the Pricing Schedule, 2. Availability/Delivery. Once these two are known, everything else will fall into place.

If you are thinking of grey leather interior, you may want to check the color's shade for practicability. If it's too light, you may have to live with reflections in the glass and the possibility of discolorations caused by clothing, such as jeans. Then there is the maintenance aspect. Just saying....
Hope you are going to get what you want.

Pricing big time is #1.

My wife has a Passat with white leather seats. The driver's seat stained terribly.

Yeah, I feel like the lighter interior colors would be more upkeep. They look nice though. I've got kids though so I'll probably just get black interior.

 

[moinmoin]

just get black interior.

Brown will look good with chocolate - think camo

I have a clamshell grey interior in my car, it's fine.

@hej ....man, that's a BIG bottle

@hej ....man, that's a BIG bottle

I took Amazon's image, which is pretty high res. I could have found a smaller version, but that would have been 5 seconds of work

 

[moinmoin]

5 seconds of work

I know what you did and how it happened. For that reason I keep a blank Word document open, paste it there and then size it to taste. You are right: 5sec.

At first glance you bottle looked like a nice whisky or such...LOL . That inspired the bottle remark. No critique meant.

Lol good point!

I guess I could use something like that. I would rather not have to worry about it though, especially since I'm going to lease.

 

[moinmoin]

I would rather not

Just in case: Magic Eraser

 

[david norman]

You are right. The two pictures below show the SAME car. The first picture I took 10 days ago at KIA HO. The second picture was taken by the dealer tonight in the showroom. It's now plated, but the same... Enjoy.

What is plated?

 

[moinmoin]

What is plated?

Sorry, my eyes.... plated = the car carries now the provincial licence plates. AS it was explained, KIA Canada wanted to run some "tests", and to do so on public roads, the car needed licence plates.

I’m from the Edmonton area in Alberta and pre-ordered mine on the second day we were able to. I had to give a first, second and third choice of color and interior. I chose Thunder Grey with red, then red with black and lastly pearl white with red. Any will do but man I love the grey. I can’t believe how many haters there are for this car just because it’s a Kia. Well I’m looking forward to seeing the Audi, BMW & other so called premium car owners faces when mine is on the road. With only 200 coming to Canada the first year it will be a rare sight and I’ll be happy to tell all of the curious people that yes it’s a Kia. Are there any other Albertans out there that have ordered one?

 

[moinmoin]

I can’t believe how many haters there are for this car

LOL. Alberta must be different. Everybody I have talked to and mentioned the KIA Stinger to gave me a blank stare and wanted to know what I was talking about. Once they googled it, they got the message. No negativity et al.
Welcome to the Forum and congrats to you choices. I hope it will work out for you. To find more Albertans, you probably should start a thread in the "COMMUNITY LOUNGE". Good Luck!

 

[Moparab]

Thanks moinmoin. I should have said that anyone here that's googled the Stinger is very impressed. I just happen to know a lot of people that own the German brands and they don't believe it will really be very good. Their loss to be sure. By the way delivery here is ecpected to be in December.

 

[moinmoin]

delivery here is ecpected to be in December

Well, I have exchanged email with my dealer for the last 4 -5 months, and I'll meet him in person tomorrow, when we are tentatively finalizing the paperwork. Delivery, similar to you time table, is scheduled for around Dec.6.
On the matter of possessions: I own a Citizen and a Seiko watch, both fairly expensive. The Citizen is essentially solar powered. But do I go up to someone who's wearing an Omega, Rolex or such watch and start comparing. Of course not. In this case, nobody wants to be faster . I may let them handle my watch, made of titanium, and let tthem weigh how light it is. Same with the car. If I were to tell someone that this is going to be a Beemer or Audi beater, they would lough at me. After all. they spent a lot of money to have the best, and this is what - a KIA? In the end, the car has to speak for itself. And hopefully it will. We all hope, but really don't know - yet.
So give you friends some time time to adjust - to reality.

@pat @Ric. As far as we know, since Kia has updated thieir website, these are officially the colors that will available in the US, and yellow is on the page. You will have to scroll down to see the colors, interior and exterior. What will actually be available upone release? We don't know if just a few, or all.
