It is simply my opinion. Everyone is different and no two people will share the same ideas. It is reality. To each their own.

I was raised on GM and have been happy with their products since driving age (16 years). During my 30's, I have purchased two GM fun cars: An '11 Camaro SS and a C7 Grand Sport. As daily drivers over the past 8 years, I've owned a '13 Cruze RS and a '17 Cruze RS. Over the same time, my wife has owned a '16 BMW X1 M and a '19 Terrain Denali. I don't need an AWD "fun car". My fun cars stay in the garage for ~6 months out of the year and come out on sunny days during spring and summer months. Again, to each their own. I love my GM performance cars and I live in PA; therefore, only having enough money to buy one vehicle, I could not rationally buy a Camaro or Corvette. We received 12" of snow 1 month ago and received another 13" this past week. The Camaro and Corvette wouldn't even make it out of my garage because they sit so low. It is what it is.

FYI: The AWD Charger GT (only available with a 300hp V6) runs the 1/4 mile in 14.8 sec., which isn't mind-blowing, but if you are happy, I am happy for you. Enjoy!
