if big rear seat room is needed, premium brand (or dodge ), but it must be 'sporty' then your choices are very limited unless you up your budget and get something longer, say an LS460L.

based on your criteria, i'd say a cadillac ct6 which is small enough to sporty, but large enough to have a very room rear seat with being super long wheelbase. i think it's an awesome car. and given sedan sales woes, probably available at a very good deal. with the v6 and active suspension, it would be very sporty.

there are actually over 130 new 2016 Hellcat Chargers across the nation and the 2018s are out already. I know 20-25% off minimum is possible, but i dont want a new car with over hundreds of test drive miles. Those are almost guaranteed redlined miles prob with a cold engine

I know that OP said decent room in the rear, but I'd get a 340 before a 530. I'm not sure what "decent" means as far a rear seat room, but my 328 has way more leg room than my prior 2nd Gen IS did FWIW.

for 25% off i'd gladly take a few hundred miles of hard driving. i don't believe much in gentle 'break in' miles these days as car engines are brutally tested at the factory.

My fellow Lexus owners, I settled on a Charger Hellcat. The lease deal is too good to pass up. Everyone says reliability issues... but my RCF went in for warranty work 5 times in 17 month and oil way overfilled 3 separate times by the dealer.

Will post up pics in a few days after i clean her up. Thanks for all the suggestions

Congratulations. To me, seems like overkill for a street machine, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Have you found affordable insurance for it?

Thank you! My RCF is an overkill for the streets too... I just want something with power when needed and not be the slowest when i take it on the drag strip. I had very high coverage for the RCF, it went up 25% for the HC. Most likely will increase 10-15% more when i renew bc of the accident.

Hahaha. I'll blend right in with the challenger and charger crowd

My RCF is Molten Pearl, so technically its a toned down color
I have a rule. Can't repeat any past colors
