With more power, a stiffer ride and slightly more aggressive looks, the Elantra Sport makes a solid case for itself.

Under the hood lies a 201-horsepower, 195-pound-foot I4 engine, mated to the buyer's choice of a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch.

Despite the additional power, there's no torque steer to be found.

Even with the sportier suspension, the Elantra Sport is still a comfortable ride on the road.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade.
