| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 02:18 PM PST  The Hyundai Veloster is a new sporty coupe that takes aim at younger always-connected types who want a racy look and feel but without all the compromises of a true sports car. Although Hyundai considers the Veloster a completely new kind of model in the lineup, it replaces the cramped Tiburon coupe, which was discontinued a couple of years...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 12:45 PM PST  The Kia Sportage is a compact crossover SUV that combines all-wheel drive surefootedness for modest off-roading and all-weather driving with a tall-wagon layout that has made it a good pick for small or growing families. With generous seating for five, fuel efficient engines and bargain basement pricing, the current Kia Sportage is also an...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 12:22 PM PST  The Kia Sorento mid-size sport-utility vehicle, now in its second generation, took Kia into the competitive segment for vehicles that haul families and their stuff. Kia has learned from its experiences with the Sorento, though, and the new version—on sale first as a 2011 model—is vastly more in focus for its market. Among other...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 11:57 AM PST  The Kia Soul is a sporty wagon-bodied hatchback from the South Korean automaker. The Soul offers shoppers a five-seat commuter vehicle that's friendly to look at and fairly enjoyable to drive. First shown in production form at the 2008 Paris auto show, the Soul was designed at the company's U.S. headquarters near Irvine, California, credited to...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 11:19 AM PST  The Kia Rio nameplate applies to a family of inexpensive, South Korean-produced subcompact sedans and hatchbacks. The Rio has for many years been among the lowest-priced models for sale in the U.S. market—with a strong set of features for the money—but with its last redesign, for the 2012 model year, it makes significant advances in...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 11:03 AM PST  The Hyundai Santa Fe is a compact to mid-size crossover that's been on sale in the U.S. since 2001. Over its model run, it has grown in size and power as well as recognition--and some credit it for keeping Hyundai in the U.S. market after its early success wiped away the memory of the early Excel hatchbacks. This year, the Santa Fe is new, and now...

| Election 2012: Lies, Deceptions, And Dumb Things Said About Cars Posted: 05 Nov 2012 10:35 AM PST  Whew! It's finally over. Almost. When Election 2012 gets filed away in some extraterrestrial media-storage device, we hope the rest of the universe looks on us with a sense of pity--because this year's silly season has been sillier than usual. Especially when it comes to cars. At times, it seemed as if we'd have a serious discussion about the GM...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 10:29 AM PST  The Kia Optima is a mid-size family sedan, now built in Georgia (as well as South Korea) for the U.S. market. With some running gear shared with the Hyundai Sonata, the Optima is now in its third generation. It's priced and sized to compete with the likes of the Volkswagen Jetta, Suzuki Kizashi, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 09:00 AM PST  The Hyundai Tucson is a compact crossover that competes directly with the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, though its base price of about $20,000 puts it near the front of the pack in terms of value. With less than a decade on the market, the Tucson doesn't have a long history, but its still-fresh look offers a look at the future. When it hit the U.S...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 09:00 AM PST  The Hyundai Azera is a large front-wheel-drive sedan that shares some running gear with the former mid-size Sonata. Until the 2009 Hyundai Genesis arrived in the U.S. market, the Azera was Hyundai's biggest, most expensive and most luxurious sedan. It's sold in its home market of South Korea as the Grandeur. Preceded in luxury by an archaic XG300...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 08:52 AM PST  The Hyundai Elantra GT is a five-door hatchback added to the South Korean automaker's lineup for the 2013 model year. Preceded in various model years by Elantra wagons and GT hatchbacks, the newest version is related more closely to European Hyundais than to the current Elantra sedan and coupe, though it shares some of their running gear...

The MINI--or Mini, the pre-BMW icon--has single-handedly launched two...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 08:29 AM PST  There's a Hyundai Genesis with two doors, and one with four doors. But while they share a first name, the performance and enthusiast crowd really is interested only in the Genesis Coupe, a rear-driver that's now a true competitor for the likes of the 370Z and Mustang, thanks to a round of improvements for the 2013 model year. A focused performer...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2012 08:23 AM PST  It’s true in cars as it’s true in politics—to rise above the clutter, you need to make a dramatic statement. While Hyundai won’t be telling anyone it can “see Russia from its house!” anytime soon, it’s given its mainstream, mid-size Sonata a refreshing new look and a new mission. The goal: to...
