Three segments, one name.

Park City, Utah -- Hyundai marches to the beat of a different drummer -- or, at least, a different marketer. Beyond its unusually long ten-year powertrain warranty and its slightly offbeat entries like the Veloster and Elantra GT, the Korean company seems to have its own ideas when it comes to naming conventions: we're still not sure why a $25,000 sports car shares a Genesis badge with a $35,000 luxury sedan. Now Hyundai is looking to shake up the crossover markets with the redesigned Santa Fe.

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and 4 S First Look - Automobile Magazine
Porsche adds all-wheel-drive to its newest 911.

Even though driving purists generally prefer rear-wheel drive, Porsche recognizes that plenty of its customers like the added winter and wet-weather grip provided by four driven wheels. In fact, the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4 S accounted for over a third of all previous-generation Porsche 911 sales. So it's only logical that Porsche is now expanding the appeal of its new, 991-generation sports car with a quartet of all-wheel-drive models called Carrera 4 and Carrera 4 S, offered both as coupes and cabriolets.
