Sporty cars make headlines

Another busy week has come and gone, and the next one promises to be even more packed, what with all the 2017 New York Auto show debuts. Before looking ahead, however, let’s go back and revisit the top 5 most popular features and news on Auto123.com over the past seven days:

The launch of the 2017 Honda Civic Si took place on Thursday, which means that the 10th-generation Civic lineup is now complete. Performance enthusiasts and fans of Japanese sports cars will appreciate its 1.5L turbo engine that produces 205 horsepower.

Many of them also took pleasure in watching a video showing the updated 2018 Subaru WRX and WRX STI in action. A must-see!

While not a sports car, the new 2018 Buick Regal Sportback is racier-looking and more versatile than the Regal sedan. Introduced earlier this week, it will go on sale in the fall. The Sportback will prove to be an excellent alternative for Buick customers and families who don’t want an SUV like the Encore or Envision.

Speaking of SUVs, Koreans are jumping on the small-SUV bandwagon, too. The announcement of the new Hyundai Kona, designed in Germany, got plenty of folks here all excited. Hyundai Canada issued a press release to confirm that the Kona will indeed be coming in 2017.

Lastly, did you know that Volvo has a small coupe on the way? Don’t miss the video; you’re in for a surprise!
