Hyundai HED-5

3.5

Jonny Smith, 07 March 2008 17:13

What’s new on Hyundai’s Geneva Motor Show stand? Reinventing the Trajet by all accounts. Everyone’s doing MPVs now so it’s time to spice up the long toothed Hyundai under the concept codename of HED-5. It’s pretty outrageous. Remember all those curves when the first gen Coupe came out? The HED-5 ‘i-mode’ trumps it. Like the current popularity of rap music ...

Mitsubishi Prototype-S at Geneva

3.5

Jonny Smith, 05 March 2008 13:31

What’s new on the Mitsubishi Geneva motor show stand? A whole family of Lancers. And finally, Lancers with strong memorable faces. The final (third) jewel playing centre stage in Mitsubishi’s crown is the Prototype-S. I know what you’re thinking – it looks like an Evo X hatch. You’re not wrong. It’s the Lancer Ralliart Sportback. What were they thinking? A ...

Toyota RiN

Jonny Smith, 25 October 2007 11:50

Green windows - it must be good for the trees… Even by Toyota concept standards the RiN is a little weird. The RiN is definitely one for Sting, as it's focused purely on healthy living and increased comfort. The door was designed to slide open like a Japanese teahouse and the green glass reduces UV and Infrared light. Is there ...

Toyota 1/X

Jonny Smith, 25 October 2007 11:05

What is the point of this contraption exactly? Toyota has a habit of building mind boggling concept cars that fire up the public imagination and then deliver forgettable production dross. The 1/X may just change that. It is rumoured to showcase developments that could point towards the next Prius. So there's a chance of the Prius looking interesting? Yeah, and ...

Toyota Hi-CT

Jonny Smith, 25 October 2007 04:51

And the winner of bravest car design goes to… You won't forget the proportions of the Hi-CT in a hurry. It is intentionally unconventional. If Judge Dredd lived in Tokyo and needed to downsize… It's very chunky. What are the dimensions? The Hi-CT 3330mm long, 1695mm wide, 1780mm high. The cabin in stretched in width, not length, so it seats ...

Volkswagen Space Up unveiled

4.5

Jonny Smith, 25 October 2007 04:40

Mmm, this looks ever so slightly similar to the Up! Concept at Frankfurt... And you wouldn't be wrong. VW chose the Tokyo show to tug the sheets off its new vehicle just six weeks after showing the world the Up! Concept– a two-door cheeky urban device – to the sweaty media at Frankfurt. When the Up! range is finally built ...

Subaru Exiga

Jonny Smith, 24 October 2007 03:34

Stop press! Easy-on-the-eye new Subaru shocker! It's good looking and, although currently a concept, it's likely to become a showroom reality. This is the Subaru Exiga – think of it as an XL size Legacy. It's not an MPV, it's a roomy estate car with a space-age cabin. But the Legacy estate exists. Why wheel this out? Crucially it's a ...
