Finally!!! An actual article about the 2.0. I hope more follow in the US.

Interesting how that article shows a single side dual rear exhaust for the 2.0T. First time I have seen that.

Definitely not liking that!

I can't make out the GT badge...maybe "GT line"? I just found what appears to be a new video: Korean track day experience for all three motors. At 1:37 they introduce a white car that's diesel; at 1:55 you see a white non-GT car from the rear, which appears to have only right-side exhaust

No-subtitles, but only a small bit of talking anyway. Also no new information, just some Stinger road & track porn, and a few nighttime shots of the lighting.

Just one side is the Diesel...
2.0T has also on both sides the double-pipes

That is just plan weird looking on a supposed sport intentioned car. I hope that is not the case here in the states.

It's how my BMW came and I imagine most inline cylinder engined cars come. Didn't think anything was wrong with it.

It's only the diesel version getting that one-sided exhaust and since we're not getting that engine here, we'll have exhaust on both sides.

I never liked the look of an exhaust pipe or two on one side of the vehicle. I don't even care if one side is fake just for aesthetics or balance. It just looks "off" to me with a pipe on one side and not the other...

It's kind of weird they even offer a diesel option on a sporty car. Anyone know what the 0-60 and top speed are on the diesel?

Yeah, I guess it is. Though they're really torquey so maybe that's something to consider. There's a diesel version of the BMW 335i...

That doesn't make any more sense, but as a non-diesel buyer I'm okay with it. Thanks for pointing that out. One less thing for me to complain about.

Yeah, I don't get why they're doing that but as long as I'm not buying it.
