Consumer Reports names first-timers Ford Mustang, Kia Sorento among 6 New Top Picks for 2011

    --  SMALL CAR: Hyundai Elantra. Redesigned for 2011 the Elantra ($18,445)
        delivers a lot for the money. With its makeover, this well-rounded sedan
        is now more stylish and engaging to drive. The Elantra provides fairly
        nimble handling; a decent ride, a smooth, responsive powertrain; a
        well-finished interior; and a relatively roomy rear seat. It's also
        miserly on gas, achieving 29 mpg overall in CR's tests and 39 mpg on the
        highway. Reliability for the redesigned model is expected to be as good
        as the previous one.
