Most Popular Sports Cars

Do you remember playing MASH as a kid? I can’t imagine I was the only one that enjoyed the little game. The most important part was always the “name” that you ended up married to…you know, the unsuspecting boy that had no idea he was a part of this really important fortune telling technique? The next important thing was the designation provided by the name of the game: MASH = mansion, apartment, shack or house. As long as I didn’t get shack I was okay.

But right after that the best part was finding out what car you would drive when you were “grown up.” I think it was really exciting because I was so clueless. I wanted the game to tell me what kind of car I’d be driving because I wasn’t even that aware of what I should want to be driving! I did have to come up with the 4 options and they were always some crazy, random combination like this:

1. slug bug

2. Ferrari

3. Truck

4. Delorian

Yes, yes. I know it’s a ridiculous list. But my 8 year old self was trying her very best. I’ve absolutely defined my preferences since then! Now I’m wondering if I’d ever heard of the Hyundai as a child. And if I hadn’t…why not? I find their line up offers something for every mood I’ve ever found myself in; not that you should buy a vehicle based on mood unless you’re P-Diddy, but it’s nice to know I could if I felt like it. You could start off in the Accent (it’s remarkably affordable) and move up to the Elantra when you’re ready. It offers more space than its competition and some pretty admirable “green” features.

The Sonata is the next step up from the Elantra and is even classified as a “large car” through the EPA classification system. It’s got a lot of really great safety features that come standard. The Hyundai Azera received the JD Power & Assoc. APEAL study recognition twice. The Tucson has a great crossover combination of car and SUV. The Santa Fe and the Entourage are both “Top Safety Picks” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Veracruz has the Hideaway seat offering a third row. And we can’t forget the Tiburon that is just plain eye catching with the sport tuned suspension to support the sporty look!

Playing MASH at this late date may be a bit pointless since I’m technically already “all grown up,” but I’d be much better at it now than I was when I was 8. I think I’m going to challenge someone to a game the next time I’m waiting at the doctor’s office. I’m totally going to get the Mansion and the Tiburon and Brad Pitt. Watch and see…
