India Anderson, 17, of Chartiers follows instructions from Kiva Huffman during her driver's exam at the PennDOT licensing center in Bridgeville.

Can Hyundai rival Mercedes? In a Word, Yes

Looking to buy a luxury car? Read this first. If you're thinking about dropping big bucks on a luxury car — perhaps a Mercedes S-Class or Lexus LS — it might be worth your while to stop at a Hyundai dealer first.
