    Who would purchase the bi-modal exhaust if it was available in North America?

    What is the third mode? RPM activated? And it is an option added to the Custom mode menu choices (I sure hope)?

    Who would purchase the bi-modal exhaust if it was available in North America?

    The equivalent is already on several other European vehicles such as the one I drive--Volvo Polestar.

    What's your Active Engine Sound preference?

    So the same car with licence plate STNGR3 shows the stock exhaust in the first video, but the bi-modal in the second video?

    Who would purchase a plug-in hybrid Kia Stinger?

    Nope. Although in principle I like the idea of a hybrid, and the Stinger needs help in the efficiency department (new engine upgrades coming in 2019 that will address that), the sprightly handling of the car would be ruined by all the extra weight. The handling is the reason to get this car...

    Kia Stinger 3.3 GT vs Genesis G70 3.3 Sport ...'Same But Different'

    LSD available/standard with AWD. Ability to turn the ridiculous fake engines sounds completely OFF. Addresses my two biggest complaints about the Stinger. But, I prefer the hatchback and styling of the Stinger. Read on another forum that Kia was testing the LSD with AWD along with a bi-modal...

    Stinger Issues

    Agree that the usual dealership and customer service ignorance is a real problem here. And I agree that this is actually a great way to design the system. Most of the time in stop and start urban traffic you do not want the engine cutting out. But, when you are at a light or some other longer...

    What's your Active Engine Sound preference?

    Links/details, please? Can they be programmed to work at a certain rpm or drive mode, or is it a manual switch you have to install and then turn on and off?
