The match of the month pits two recently launched compacts against one another. On one side, there’s the new Cruze, which General Motors is really counting on. On the other side, there’s the completely redesigned Hyundai Elantra. The winds of change are starting to blow with the arrival of these …

A little less than two years ago, the Chevrolet division offered up its Camaro sport coupe, after an absence of several years. It came back with an extremely modern shape and a platform developed in Australia by the Holden division, the manufacturer’s rear wheel drive specialist. Impressive handling, a heck …
