The Truth About Cars

I took a four-day trip to Northern England a couple of weeks ago, primarily to visit one of the only American-style self-service junkyards in the UK. The Brera coupe was on the same platform as the Spider roadster, and was built for the 2005 through 2010 model years. This car has the 182-horsepower 2.2-liter liter straight-four.

When the first Hyundai Excels appeared on American streets as 1986 models, bearing shockingly cheap price tags, did anyone imagine that someday there would be a big, ostentatious Hyundai luxury sedan with serious V8 power available here? It happened , and I found one of those machines in a car graveyard in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a few weeks back.

The Truth About Cars

The Saturn Division spent the first half of the 1990s printing money for The General with its no-haggle pricing policy and plastic-bodied cars that only rusted in areas you couldn't see easily, and all those cars were based on a single platform: the S Series. This car has neither. But we're not here to mourn Saturn.
