2021 Hyundai Elantra Reviews SummaryCompact cars are no longer compact. Cheap cars are no longer cheap. And it is no longer necessary to buy a luxury vehicle for performance, technology, and sophistication. The redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra sedan proves it. | |
2022 Lexus IS Reviews SummaryAfter a substantial refresh for the 2021 model year, the 2022 Lexus IS lineup returns with a handful of minor updates and a significant improvement in performance. The new Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance also debuts this year, packing a normally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 and laugh-riot driving dynamics. If you’re among the driving enthusiasts who miss the discontinued Lexus GS F, this is a credible substitute. | |
