First Drive: The Hyundai RM19 mid-engine mini monster!
/
/
comments
Hyundai has our attention with this one… Say hello to the RM19. RM stands for “Racing Midship”, which means this is essentially a race car with the engine placed in the middle. That engine comes from the Hyundai Veloster N TCR race car, so it’s a turbocharged 2.0-liter four banger that cranks out nearly 400…

We trekked to Idaho to sample the new Hyundai Palisade. Is it as good as the Kia Telluride we’ve driven and loved? Yep… basically a restyled wrapper for a very similar machine. Click play to learn more. For a deeper dive of the onboard tech, go here: And if you want a refresher on the…

First Drive: 2019 Hyundai Veloster N

comments
We’ve been eagerly waiting for this drive. Hyundai wants to get serious about performance and, for us here in the States, the first taste of this notion is the Veloster N. N it’s pretty damn good. This is a 275-horsepower Hyundai hot hatch with all the right ingredients. A stiff chassis, sorted suspension, slick-shifting 6-speed…

comments
Hyundai has taken its Veloster back to the drawing board. The result? A sporty-looking economy car has become the entertaining hot hatch we’ve always wanted it to be. This is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec. That means it’s packing a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Paired with…

Review: 2019 Hyundai Veloster R-Spec
/
/
comments
Some years ago Hyundai launched a quirky little vehicle called the Veloster. Its claim to fame was its asymmetrical design. The driver’s side had coupe-like single door and passenger’s side had a sedan-like two door design, while the whole vehicle was a small hatchback. There was also a sporty turbo version but it never really…

2018 Hyundai Accent – Pure Automotive Honesty

The restaurant exists, the servers are actually from-Italy-Italian, and the food is great, but as I sit on the cobblestone patio noshing gnocchi I can’t help but feel lost in a dream not of my making. The Italian villa is a con, a plaster facade on an interchangeable building. I’m actually in the desert of…

Genesis G90 is very nearly the real deal luxury machine it hopes to be

comments
Hyundai dipped its toes into the luxury space when it launched the Genesis sedan back in 2009. It was… alright. A nice step above the Sonata, it was also certainly no Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, or Lexus. Those brands were safe but probably wise to at least keep an eye and ear on what the Koreans…

You’ve heard the one about the panda right? A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. After he finishes eating the sandwich, the panda pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter, and then stands up to go. One patron says to another patron “What’s the deal with the murderin’ Panda?” and…

What’s in a name? Well, if you were in the company of somebody called “The Destructor” it would be odds on that flower arranging and a little light jazz weren’t on the cards. Likewise, a heavyweight boxer might be advised to change his identity from Percy Lovehugz to something a bit more menacing. Hawkeye was…

Review: 2015 Hyundai Genesis AWD 3.8

I do some of my best thinking while driving. Not city or spirited driving, but long wide highway at night type of driving, where there is sure to be a speed trap. With the cruise control set to fourteen over the limit, my mind starts wandering. Sometimes it’s about life, past and present, people that…
