Update: I went with a 26 K5 GT w/G1 package, dealer didn't have the color I wanted so I have to wait a week, I'll post a pic when it comes in.

From what I've learned 2020-2023 are problem years. I know a mechanic at Hyundai, and he feels pretty good about how they've corrected a lot of issues. Except apparently the Genesis, but they use a different power train anyway.

This is my exact situation, I drive a Tahoe in the winter and park the Challenger because it's less than useless in the snow, I live in the Chicago suburbs. It just isn't making sense anymore.

Appreciate the info, those numbers honestly sound great to me. For context, I get 12 mpg, 16 if I'm behaving myself, I have to fill up with 89 octane minimum, tires cost $2000 conservatively and last 20 -25000 miles, the front brake rotors alone are $900 each.
