Ok, I hijacked someone else's thread by mistake. So I'll do this properly.
Got some pictures today up in Alaska.
Way back in the day I had a BMW 428ix GC. The driving dynamics (suspension) kinda sucked, which drove me to my current fun-car, the 1LE, but I sorely missed the hatchback capability and adaptive cruise control. I did mod the BMW suspension to make it fun, but ultimately it wasn't a very engaging car. I found a lot also significantly over-rated with the BMW and one day my rear computer just up and died and everything electrical rear of the front seats was dead. Dealer fixed it, but that was a scare enough. I do some track events with the 1LE and it's a blast, so not planning on letting that go any time soon. I kinda wanted a Stinger or A5 sportback though in place of the BMW and I thought I was fulfilling that when I got an Elantra GT N-line hatch with tech package, but it was just a little too small for my needs. What it did have was pretty much the same tech as the Stinger, the N-line tech comes with all sorts of outrageous tech for a car of that size. The 2022 Stinger definitely caught my attention with the 4cyl engine upgrade. Now that I have it, I also like that the chrome is dark and not silver. The tires are disappointing, 225s have no place on a vehicle like this (weight, track, etc.), let alone all seasons. The GT N-line came with 225s and that made a lot more sense. Will probably get some 245s. Gotta get some mud-guards too. Sun n Sound package and AWD. I'm possibly considering a wrapped hood to match my other car
