2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Starting MSRP $24,250–$33,000
2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe - The Hyundai Genesis Coupe has only been with us for a few short years and already it is getting a major facelift and power updates. The new Genesis Coupe features a squashed, pointy nose with a blunt front bumper, two faux air intakes and staggered wheels for a more powerful look. The redesigned 2013 Genesis 2.0T is better in a big way, with more power and a retuned suspension, though an unflattering-sounding engine hurts the otherwise-improved driving experience.
In its first three model years (2010-2012), the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T was not a car I could get excited about (read my review of the 2011 2.0T R-Spec here). Its poky engine and sloppy handling made it under-deliver on its billing as an affordable, rear-wheel-drive performance coupe. Fortunately, the new 2013 version brings relief. (Please note that the Genesis Coupe shouldn't be confused with Hyundai's Genesis sedan, a very different luxury model covered separately.)

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo
2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo - The standard Hyundai Veloster has always reminded us of that talented freshman in high school who has everything going for him but simply lacks the strength his first year out to make the coveted varsity team. The new Veloster Turbo will start at $21,950 (plus $775 destination). That represents a $2,500 premium over a similar naturally aspirated Veloster. The manual gearbox is standard fit, with the automatic adding $1,000 to the price. Opt for the Ultimate Package (bundling a navigation system with rearview camera, panoramic sunroof, automatic headlights, backup sensors and a 115-volt power outlet) and it will cost you an additional $2,500. Completely loaded, with automatic and destination included, the Veloster Turbo will set you back $26,225.
The standard Veloster, introduced at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, debuted with a direct-injected 1.6-liter four-cylinder rated at 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. It's a respectable output for a naturally aspirated engine (86.25 hp per liter), but its 0-60 sprint in just over eight seconds certainly didn't match its sporty appearance. Enthusiasts held their collective breath for the expected turbocharged model. the Veloster lacks the performance cred to back up its killer looks. But that will change once this 201-hp version hits the streets. The 45 percent boost in horsepower has most folks taking a second look at the Veloster, and hoping this Turbo is a signal that Hyundai is getting as serious about performance as it has been about quality and design over the last few years.

2012 Hyundai Sonata Review
2012 Hyundai Sonata Review - The 2012 Hyundai Sonata is the best car for you if you want an attractively priced midsize sedan with looks-more-expensive-than-it-is styling and state-of-the-art engines. A 4-door family sedan capable of accommodating 5 passengers, the 2012 Hyundai Sonata is available in 3 trims ranging from the Sedan to the LX. Comparable vehicles in the marketplace to the 2012 Hyundai Sonata include the Chevrolet Cavalier, the Mazda Mazda6, and the Volkswagen Jetta Sedan. The Sedan is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 138-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 30-mpg on the highway.
The 2012 Hyundai Sonata is highly unlikely to receive any notable changes after being fully redesigned for model-year 2011. It’ll remain a roomy four-door with front-wheel drive and body lines that do a fair imitation of a Lexus ES350 or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It’ll also continue to point to the future by ignoring a V-6 engine in favor of four-cylinders that include a lively 274-horsepower turbo and a 40-mpg gas-electric hybrid. The 2012 Sonata’s going to need all this and more to compete with the all-new 2012 Toyota Camry.

2012 Hyundai Genesis Review
2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe review - Hyundai designed the new coupe in 2012 named as Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The new Genesis sedan has received accolades for going toe to toe with the best luxury sedans from Japan and Germany. Hyundai is on a mission to have pony car drivers watch out for the Genesis Coupe creeping up in their rear view mirrors. Being one of those rear wheel drive fanatics, it was time to see how the Genesis Coupe measures up.
Current Hyundai Genesis Coupe on sale in the United States back to February 26, 2009. It was pretty cool sports car powered by 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder to 212 hp and 217 lb.-ft. produces torque, but in 2011, Hyundai is trying to make it even better by adding a new version: 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec. This new 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 306 horsepower, which is clearly better than the previous model, but it seems that only was not enough for Hyundai and 2012 even more changes for the sport.
Should you wait for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis or buy a 2011 Hyundai Genesis? Wait for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis. It’ll have the latest styling and, more important, a new transmission that improves powertrain smoothness and fuel efficiency. The 2012 Genesis V-6 Sedan gains 43 horsepower, for a total of 333, and the new top-of-the-line 2012 Genesis 5.0-liter R-Spec has 429 – putting it in league with BMW and Mercedes-Benz sedans that cost thousands more. Waiting for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe probably is a good idea, too. As a reasonably priced, rear-wheel-drive four-seater, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe will remain a sort of South Korean pony car – a rare breed indeed. Any styling changes or tech upgrades for the 2012 model count as assets in its fashion-forward, spec-savvy segment.

2012 Hyundai Tucson Review
2012 Hyundai Tucson Review - The 2012 Hyundai Tucson has size and value in its corner. The Ford Escape is 11 years old, and it's still a huge hit. Honda's CR-V lingers near the top ten of sales charts, too. For years, Hyundai's entry in the class was the underwhelming Tucson, but in 2010, it was redesigned to take on the best in the class.
The 2012 Hyundai Tucson ranks 6 out of 20 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 19 published reviews and test drives of the Hyundai Tucson, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2012 Hyundai Tucson doesn’t have the most powerful engine in the class, nor does it have the most cargo space, but it does offer shoppers a lot for their money without looking or feeling cheap.
The Tucson lineup is all four-cylinder, with a price-leading 2.0-liter with 165 horsepower in base versions, offered with either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. We've driven the manual transmission and liked its light shift action, but the automatic improves gas mileage to 23/31 mpg and has pretty clean gearchanges, too. Even better is the optional 2.4-liter four with 176 horsepower and only the six-speed automatic. That combination is good for an estimated 22/32 mpg, and moves the Tucson along at a measured pace with relatively low noise and vibration for a big four. The Tucson isn't quick--and as of yet doesn't have the turbo four found in the similar Kia Sportage--but it's a passable straight-line performer.
