Do I see the SRT DOES NOT have standard fog lights? I also read the 2026 had different headlights than the 2025. They look the same as my 2021 GT Plus headlights. Also, it has been mentioned the grill for 2026 was updated. Has "Fake news" been released on the exterior changes or is this footage Bob used of the 2025 version.
