This rear-drive luxury sports car has the power and grace of a Lexus LS460, though the price tag is lower than that of a Chrysler 300C.

“C’mon, really? Hyundai?” Really. The Track package includes leather, sunroof, Brembo brakes, and trunk spoiler. The corporate grille makes the vehicle look a bit dorky, and the “foxy roofline” sacrifices rear headroom for “graphic identity”—though the rear seats do fold to expand trunk space. Interior appointments are cozy enough, though not luxurious.
