I looked at the '22 Stinger last week. While it is a step up, including the new logo, I think I prefer the '21 G70.

Perhaps...but now the old quad exhaust just looks too boring.

I think the 2.5T has the same exhaust pipes as the pre-refresh. Both are quad tips.

Not in the US. The 4cylinder model only comes here as the GT-Line which is the full GT bodykit. So no quick visual differences moving forward other than the wheel design.

Still happy with my 2018 GT2. Lease is up end of summer and I may be a repeat buyer. Fits my needs perfectly and I haven't found anything as good at literally everything for the price, but will try the S5 Sportback again and maybe the GV70 if it ever makes it here this year.

Pretty awesome to hear your positive experience with the Stinger.

Yup, I had to check the configurator to make sure. It also means that the unfortunate fake hood vents are still on all trims of the Stinger sold here.
