Both engine options connect to the GM 9-speed automatic transmission, with front-wheel drive offered as standard, and all-wheel drive as optional.

Wow that’s disastrous, does that include the vehicles that can be delivered or the one’s that can’t? Thanks J Lo, the helmet is a great prop it solidifies my belief that you are a true automotive journalist!
So basically, it is just a paint hue adjustment than a replacement. Probably won’t tell the differences between the hues for ’22 & ’23.
