The Hyundai Azera is a large front-wheel-drive sedan that shares some running gear with the former mid-size Sonata.

The Grand Vitara isn't really showing its age--it's still an attractively designed SUV--but it's an older vehicle based on the last-generation...
The 2013 BMW M3 doesn't join in the complete redesign of the regular 2013 3-Series on the new F30 platform, but enthusiasts will be glad for that fact. Likely the last of the naturally-aspirated M3s, the 2013 M3 is, in its way, the end of a tradition.Some might argue the tradition ended with the advent of the V-8-powered M3, brought in at the...
