Hyundai Elantra
The Hyundai Elantra line up gets a new station-wagon version this year, aptly named Touring. This newcomer has been tagged as very European in style, happily a profile that is gaining in popularity in North America. Inside, there is ample clearance for its five occupants. Its cargo spaces are generous and especially versatile, while its four-cylinder engine develops 141 horsepower. And like most cars built by this Korean manufacturer, the built quality is very good.
