Is this the article you mean? http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/fe...11scc_hyundai/

FWD does not handle power well no matter what. Maybe a high-end acura could make it feel halfway passable, but it would still have very annoying power delivery at low speeds and uninspired handling (I know that some FWD cars can turn decent times both at the drag strip and at autocross, but it doesn't feel nearly as satisfying as it would in a RWD car). There's also nothing that you could do to the Hyundai's awful brakes, steering, suspension, or overall cosmetics that would make it come anywhere near said acura in overall driving feel (yeah, I know there's a price difference). I guess it's just a matter of what we're used to though
