2015 LA AUTOSHOW

That scion up there is looking kinda :pimp: to me, even though it goes against everything I believe in lol
 
2017 Hyundai Elantra

The SE and Limited models now are powered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson-capable four-cylinder, with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft. This engine is offered with a six-speed manual in the SE and a six-speed automatic that’s optional in the SE and standard in the Limited. With the automatic, Hyundai is expecting fuel-economy ratings of 29 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined.

A direct-injected 1.4-liter turbo four lives under the hood of the newly added Eco model. It makes 128 horsepower and 156 lb-ft. Paired with a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, it’s expected to be the mileage champ, although so far Hyundai only has an estimate for the combined fuel-economy rating: 35 mpg. (You may have noted that the Sport trim level has gone missing, but we hear it’s merely taking a hiatus—and when it returns, it could be with as much as 200 horsepower.)

2017 Lincoln MKZ
There are mid-cycle product updates, and then there's the 2017 MKZ. Instead of just a nip-and-tuck styling refresh, the entry-level Lincoln gets an all-new engine with a whopping 400 horsepower and an optional torque-vectoring rear differential. And that powerplant is exclusive to the Lincoln, at least for the time being. It's a sign that Ford is getting serious about elevating its luxury brand above the recent history of rebadged Blue Oval models.
Now we're talking. What a much needed front end upgrade. Looks a million times better.
 
I'd like to drive an NSX one day. Still think the older models look nice.
 
Still camo'd somewhere in Germany. It'll premiere in Detroit this coming January.

But for now Infiniti seems focused on competing in the CUV market.
