Today's Rave: 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe interior

One thing I’ll say for Hyundai: They get their interiors right. From fit and finish to design to comfort (thank you, lumbar support), they get it right.

First look: 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Staring at the orange pylons weaving in a violent pattern ahead of me, I have to admit my heart skipped a beat. I’m not very good at autocross and haven’t practiced in more than 3 years. Plus, the fact that I had an audience that included not only several of my male counterparts but also... Read more »
