2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Track vs. 2010 Honda Civic Si

Hyundai thinks it has a new value-champ among hot imports with its new Genesis Coupe 2.0T. It's hard to argue with 210 hp, rear-wheel drive, and sexy styling for only $22,750. But the Genesis isn't sold in a vacuum, so we needed to see how it stacked up against some serious competition.

As it turns out, we had another vehicle in our possession that matched the Hyundai's cheap-and-fast qualifications -a 2010 Honda Civic Si. Of course, with front-wheel drive, a small naturally aspirated engine, and practically invisible styling, it would be little more than a punching bag for the Hyundai, right?

Well, hold on a second. Long-in-the-tooth and lacking in glitz though it may be, the Civic Si remains an icon of the sport-compact world, and commands a huge following. And at a mere $22,765 starting price, it has essentially the same price as the Genesis. Plus, it remains a blast to drive. With all that in mind, we set out to determine which of these cars best satisfies the import performance car buyer on a budget. more

New Cars for 2010: The United States of America

Never mind loans, partners, reorganizations, dealer purges, or any of the other maneuverings that have consumed the U.S. auto industry for the past twelve months. Only great new cars and trucks can power Detroit out of the ditch. New for 2010 (or thereabouts), the ten cars gathered here are, in our estimation, the best hope to do just that.

The "new" GM has fresh products for each of its four surviving divisions (Hummer, Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn are now more or less out of the picture). Chevrolet, still basking in the attention of the long-awaited Camaro launch, gets a new Equinox this fall, and GMC offers its own version of that SUV, the Terrain. Buick, tasked with tackling Lexus, has the new Lacrosse sedan, and Cadillac receives the redesigned SRX and the CTS Sport Wagon. The challenge for the company will be convincing consumers to believe in these new products despite the poisoned reputation that comes with one of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history.more
