AutoPacific today announced its 14th Annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA) to help consumers make informed vehicle purchase decisions.

Hyundai's Sonata proves a worthy choice for the mid-size car segment: Attractive, powerful, and affordable.

It's not everyday you have the chance to visit a brand spanking new automotive assembly plant, but the new Kia plant in western Georgia (USA, not Eastern Europe) is the latest "transplant" to begin producing new vehicles. Kia began producing the all-new 2011 Kia Sorento in small volumes in Fall, 2009 right on schedule. Full production begins in mid-November.

Wanna know why the Elantra Touring looks absolutely nothing like the sedan that it shares its name with?
This wagon addition to the Elantra lineup was really sort of a last minute add to Hyundai’s US product portfolio. You might recall that the previous Elantra was available as a SAAB-esque hatchback, and the one before that was available as a station wagon. However, because Hyundai’s Korean management knew that Americans seemed to overwhelmingly prefer sedans over hatchbacks or wagons, they made the decision pretty early on to offer the current Elantra as a sedan only.

Hyundai's Sonata won the Premium Mid-Size Car Vehicle Satisfaction Award this year from AutoPacific.
