Hyundai Genisis Concept

It has been being said for a while now that hyundai are getting thier act together, but where I like to check on this most is with thier concepts (as much as this one looks like a finished car) This is a prime example, with good looks a grill that looks like an aliens rib cage and the rest of the car that looks generically german saloon like this car will probably make it. The engine choices further improve the situation with 3 good, well powered not limp wristed green finger options. I kinda hope they make it, so we can compare it to the a4, 3 series etc :D Hell in ten years you might find a decent used hyundai genisis ;)

Audi R8 - Managable Mentalism?


If your a sensible type of guy who likes his grey suit and has a spare 80k what supercar would you buy? Yes its german, yes its an audi - where do you sign? here sir... Supercar salesmen must have the easiest jobs. Literally the sort of people that buy them do not give a crap that they are getting insane value for money (80k supercar - sponsored by germany ;) ) A second hand car might cost you a bit less...Needless to say that audi are scaling the german 3 mountain with the purchase of lambo and now the needlessly perfect r8. Perhaps only a smaller brother to some cars like the ssc but a sensible super car? I dont like those sides though!!
