Hyundai Has Another Winner The 2012 Hyundai Accent joins the parade of redesigned cars in this ambitious automaker’s lineup. The Accent is Hyundai’s entry-level subcompact that competes with cars like the Honda Fit and the Toyota Yaris. Like its larger Hyundai siblings, the Elantra and Sonata, it’s had a complete makeover. The Accent comes in [...]
The leader Of The Class Every time I drive a new Hyundai, I become more impressed with this Korean automaker. Hyundai may be the new Honda or Toyota of this decade. Their cars are nicely designed, well made and offer good value. The latest one to come my way was the Elantra. The Elantra is [...]
Genesis Gets More Muscle Hyundai has taken a page out of the Lexus book from 20 years ago. Back then Lexus introduced their LS400 luxury sedan, and challenged the likes of Mercedes by offering high quality and lots of features at a lower price. Now, Hyundai is doing the same thing to Lexus (and other [...]
Hyundai’s Hybrid Scores To say that the 2011 Hyundai Sonata has been a big hit would be putting it mildly. The Korean automaker has sold well over 100,000 copies here in the first half of this year alone. Sleek styling, lots of features and a reasonable price has made it a car that is hard [...]
Overlooked Santa Fe Has A Lot To Offer The Hyundai Santa Fe is a midsize crossover that flies under the radar. The average buyer doesn’t think of it when shopping for a new SUV. He or she is more inclined to check out the class leaders, like the Honda CR-V or the Toyota Highlander. However, [...]

A Budget Priced Enthusiast’s Car When I heard that the Hyundai Genesis coupe was coming, I wasn’t expecting anything sporty. After all, the Genesis sedan is a luxury car, and I thought the coupe would be a boulevard cruiser. Boy, was I wrong. The Genesis coupe shares very little with the sedan, besides its name, [...]
Watch Out Lexus And Mercedes Twenty years ago Toyota shocked the automotive world when it introduced its luxury brand, Lexus. The car they debuted, the LS400, was every bit as good, or even better, than a Mercedes S-Class, and was priced over $10,000 less than its German rival. LS400 sales took off right away, and [...]
Updated Sonata More Attractive It’s no easy deal competing against the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord, but Hyundai is giving it its best shot. When owners of the current generation Sonata complained that they were unhappy with certain features of their cars, Hyundai got right on it and made changes for the 2009 model. [...]
An alternative to Pilot and Highlander I didn’t get a chance to drive this SUV for very long, but I came away impressed. If you’re shopping for a Honda Pilot or a Toyota Highlander, you ought to check out the Veracruz as well. Although it is priced like a Pilot or Highlander, it seems more [...]
