The 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 marked the return of SRT performance to the full-size 300 lineup, powered by a 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8 producing 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque routed through a 5-speed AutoStick automatic transmission. Sport-tuned adaptive damping suspension, Brembo four-piston front brakes, and a wide stance give the sedan the handling balance to back up its straight-line credentials. Inside, SRT performance pages integrated into the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen provide real-time data on g-forces, engine vitals, and quarter-mile timing, making the 300 SRT8 as connected on the track as it is on the street.

The 2012 Hyundai Accent marked a complete fourth-generation RB redesign, offering buyers a choice between a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatchback built on a longer, wider platform. Both body styles were powered by a 1.6L Gamma GDI four-cylinder engine producing 138 horsepower, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Hyundai's fluidic sculpture design language transformed the Accent into one of the best-looking subcompacts in its class, with a more refined interior to match.
