Less expensive, not cheaper
The car tested here is still a Stinger GT, meaning it's powered by the 3.3-liter, twin-turbo V6, and not the 2.0-liter I4 of lesser models. But this one lacks many of the creature comforts found in our long-term GT2 tester. That also means it carries a price tag of $41,915, including destination.
The downgrade in trim level isn't immediately noticeable from the outside. You still get 19-inch wheels and LED lights, and that sexy Stinger shape. But inside, the buttery-soft Nappa leather is replaced by a cheaper hide, though it's easy to forgive when dyed in my test car's lovely shade of dark red.

A standard Stinger GT also ditches the shift-by-wire transmission lever for a more traditional handle, even though the gearbox itself is identical. This seems like a weird bit of cost-cutting, but honestly, I prefer the standard gear-shifter -- it's far less confusing for most ordinary folks. The standard GT also does without a sunroof, meaning there's more headroom to accommodate my 6-foot, 4-inch frame.
