2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic First Drive: A Porsche Collector's Dream

This used to be a much easier decision. Between the compact Hyundai Tucson and the company's midsize Santa Fe SUVs, the latter was an obvious pick when interior space was important to you. Now, the new-for-2022 Hyundai Tucson boasts handsome, angular styling and top-of-its-segment interior space. That doesn't leave out the midsize Hyundai Santa Fe, whose pricing is so reasonable with its base engine that compact SUV buyers might want to consider it, too. We've driven both; read on for pros and cons on the two Hyundais.

Well, it looks like the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat manual option has been removed from Dodge's site, for now. You could potentially blame the lack of popularity of manuals in most new car sales, but it seems Dodge's reasoning is a bit more digital than that. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) fitted to manual-equipped Challengers required a new calibration, putting any chance of getting a stick on the model on ice.A forum post, via Road & Track, dating back to December 10, 2021 shows that the manual transmission version of the Challenger Hellcat is not currently available. However, looking on Dodge's website, every other manual option of the Challenger can be ordered-but the Hellcat manual isn't even on the site. That same forum post also alleges that getting the manual transmission paired with the Hellcat's 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi V-8 to pass emissions is the issue, which could imply this is the required recalibration Dodge mentioned.There might be some grain of truth to that, but we weren't able to directly confirm. When we did ask if there was a calibration issue with the Challenger Hellcat, Dodge did confirm, but added that updating calibrations are a normal part of vehicle production and that this isn't related to the issues with silicon-based chip and PCM supply shortages currently disrupting the industry.It would appear that setting up this new calibration might take some time. Dodge says it's unsure of when the updated programming will be ready and when the Challenger Hellcat manual will come back for ordering. For now, if you were interested in a manual Challenger Hellcat (and why wouldn't you be?) you'll have to pick something else, go with the automatic, or just wait and hope Dodge can bring it back.
