  • Hyundai durability testers monkey around

    Weird, but true: Hyundai recently loosed 40 baboons on the latest Hyundai i30 hatchback. The i30 shares most of its essentials with the Elantra, though it's a hatchback in the case of the monkey-infested durability tester. Hyundai claims it's the first test of its kind by a U.K. manufacturer, implying that some other manufacturers have done this as well. We don't recall the other occurrences, and we think that sort of thing would stick with us. We could rattle off a dozen puns, but we'll let Hyundai's official statement, courtesy of product manager Felicity Wood, do the work: "At Hyundai we...

  • 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo  -  2012 Detroit Auto Show

    The 2013 Veloster Turbo is promising a lot more driving enjoyment to match what's already a very exciting package. Under the hood is a new turbocharged version of the company's 'Gamma' 1.6-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder engine—that's the same engine that's in the Veloster and Accent—but here it's fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and pumps out 201 horsepower, along with a lot more torque that should be accessible at much lower revs. That should not only make the Veloster a blast to drive, but it should remedy the lack of low-rev torque that we've found in the non-turbo...
