2012 Hyundai Genesis First Drive

July 21, 2011 /

Gerardo Orlando took a trip to the Hyundai America Technical Center in Michigan to test drive the new 2012 Hyundai Genesis. Read about about his experience below!

I traveled out to the Hyundai America Technical Center in Michigan to drive the new 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The drive event took place on a beautiful summer day as you can see from the photos and I had the opportunity to drive a couple of different models of the new Genesis, mostly around the scenic country roads around Ann Arbor.

The Genesis has been a big hit for Hyundai, due in large part to its elegant styling and its impressive value proposition. The Genesis has experienced 24 months in a row of year-over-year sales increases. In their presentation to the media, Hyundai executives stressed how the Genesis appeals to affluent buyers who were also practical and frugal. The “millionaire next door” profile fit many buyers of this vehicle. They aren’t the aspiration-type buyers who stretched their budget to show off a BMW or a Mercedes. Rather, they want to show off how many luxury features they could get from a new Hyundai for thousands less than what one would pay for their German competitors.

2011 Hyundai Elantra Limited Review

July 18, 2011 /

Gerardo Orlando reviews the 2011 Hyundai Elantra Limited!

The 2011 Elantra Limited offers yet another impressive offering from Hyundai. This compact sedan will fool you into thinking you’re driving something larger and more expensive, even though you’re in a very affordable vehicle that gets best-in-class 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. With the Limited version you’re also getting leather seats with front- and rear-seat heaters, a sunroof and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Exterior
We’re seeing bold styling coming out of Hyundai, and the Elantra is no exception. Hyundai calls its design language Fluidic Sculpture which aptly describes the overall impression one gets when looking at the exterior of their vehicles. With the Elantra Hyundai has created a truly distinctive look for this segment that gives the impression of a vehicle from a larger segment. Also, the Elantra looks great from every angle. The front end offers an edgy and muscular feel, but it doesn’t seem forced, and the back end matches that look and feel. My test vehicle came in Desert Bronze which added to the elegance of the car. The feedback I received from other was universally positive.

Summer ragtops!

July 18, 2011 /

The Street compiles the 10 Best Convertible Car Deals for Summer 2011.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Buying a convertible during the summer is a quick way to drop both tops and account balances, but there are a few models that won’t put the heat on car lovers by wilting their buying power.

Convertibles haven’t had the smoothest ride during the recent economic downturn. In 2008, automotive marketing company R.L. Polk noted that convertible registrations were down nearly 9% from the boom years of the mid-2000s and made up only 1.9% of the total marketplace. Since then, six of R.L. Polk’s top 10 convertibles — the Toyota(TM_) Camry Solara, Pontiac Solstice and G6, Chrysler PT Cruiser and Sebring and Saturn Sky — have disappeared like a ragtop on a 90-degree day.

During that time, they also became the playthings of the privileged classes. Only the base Mazda Miata ($23,111), Mini Cooper convertible ($25,550) and Smart Fortwo Passion Cabriolet ($17,690) have starting prices below $26,000.

2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Review

July 12, 2011 /

Our staff member reviews the 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution inside and out!

There are factory tuned cars and there are truly tuned factory cars and the latter is where the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE stands. As long as you know what you’re getting into with the Lancer Evo, the fun starts when you get behind the wheel.

Exterior
Many eyes have checked out the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE on their TV screen but in person is where everything really comes together. Our graphite gray test model came with an impressive exterior boasting fog lights, flared fenders, an aluminum roof panel, flashy aluminum front fenders with vents and an aluminum hood with heat extractor vents. These features combined make for a standout look on the Lancer Evo. The 18-inch alloy wheels with 245/40 R18 Yokohama advance tires and rear lip spoiler sent a clear message that the Evo is not just about looks but built for performance. The larger side air dams, tail lamps with black extensions and a 200 mm antenna were all updated for this model. The boxed fenders stand out on the road and reinforce the street wise Special Edition Lancer Evo. The dual chromed exhaust is for performance rather than aesthetics. Mitsubishi knows how to finish what they started with a tuned street ride.
