2017 Hyundai Elantra

6/17/2020

Compact - Sedan

Hyundai Elantra

With a final score of 56.52%, the new Elantra is just an enhanced car. Nothing really of an improvement over the last model, but another bland update until the new model comes out in 2 years. Guess we will have to wait till then to see the true dark side of the Elantra.

2017 Kia Forte

6/17/2020

Compact - sedan

Kia Forte

With a final score of 50.87%, the new Forte is sure to turn a few more heads than before. Sure it's still not top quality, but it's far more refined than the first generation. Lets hope the next model brings more of the refinement of the Cadenza.

2017 Ford Fusion

6/17/2020

Mid-size - Sedan

With a final score of 59.57%, the slightly improved Fusion is sure to keep the sales going. That is until the next Fusion comes in for the kill. We can't wait to see what Ford has up their sleeve for the next Fusion, as it will become their global car. And with the Falcon leaving in Australia, the Fusion has some big shoes to fill.

2017 Buick LaCrosse

6/17/2020

Full Size Extended - Sedan

Buick LaCrosse

With a final score of 58.70%, the new LaCrosse is sure to help with the re-branding of Buick. Yes we all know your grandfather owns one. But now you may want to get one too. I know I would take one over some other cars in its price range.

2017 Lincoln Continental

6/17/2020

Extended Premium - Sedan

Lincoln Continental

With a final score of 57.39%, the Continental could be a move in the right direction for Lincoln. This new model could be the car that brings Lincoln back into the Luxury league. Of course we all thought that about the MKS and look where we are now. The one thing missing on this new Continental are the suicide doors from the 60's model its designed from.

2017 Infiniti Q50

6/17/2020

Mid-Size Luxury - Sedan

Infiniti Q50

With a final score of 58.70%, the newly refined Q50 is a move in the name world. But not a move in the design world. Time for Infiniti to step up its game on its best seller and bring us a true 3-series fighter.

2017 Porsche Panamera

6/16/2020

Full Size Luxury Saloon - Sedan

Porsche Panamera

With a final score of 58.70%, the new Panamera is a step in the right direction. Sure it's not a step into the "out of this world, I have to have one" territory, but it is a step into a more refined world. Yes it does borrow ques from its siblings, but that helps make it more part of the family. Let's hope the next generation is the show stopper, or at least its next sibling.

2017 chevrolet Cruze

6/16/2020

Compact - hatchback

Chevrolet Cruze

With a final score of 63.91%, the new Cruze is a step into the tuner world and a step in the right direction. Yes we all know the Cruze already has a cult following from the Cavalier/Cobalt days, but the new hatch is soon to have its own.

2017 Kia Forte 5

6/16/2020

Compact - Hatchback

Kia Forte 5

With a final score of 49.13%, the new Forte 5 is the same old car. Yes Kia has pulled out no stops on updating this car. Too bad that this is what North America gets, while everyone else gets the awesome looking C'eed and C'eed GT. Maybe next time we'll get it too.

2017 Fiat Tipo Estate

6/16/2020

Compact - Wagon

Fiat Tipo Estate

With a final score of 60.00%, the new Tipo Estate is what all small Italian families are looking for. It could be what you really want, or what you really need. Although it may not be enough of what you need. And too bad that its not available on its Dart brother.
