Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 12 January 2009 05:29

CAR's been tipping it for ages, but today we finally saw the first proof of VW's ambitions to build a Lotus Elise-style back-to-basics roadster. The Concept BlueSport is a mid-engined sports car with the emphasis firmly on the lack of frills – to the benefit of performance, handling and the car's environmental credentials. The BlueSport is compact at just 3999mm ...

Audi dropped some strong hints about two forthcoming models with its new Sportback concept car. The show car hogged the limelight at the Detroit auto show 2009 – and the Audi group chairman Rupert Stadler confirmed to CAR Online that it previewed a Sportback verison of the A5 coupe. While Avant signifies, for Audi, the estate breed, Sportback indicates a ...

What's new on Kia's Geneva Motor Show stand? Proof that the Koreans have come a long way since Prides with 12-inch whitewall tyres. Kia unveiled its new compact weapon with a trio that made Ford’s Fiesta look fairly average – the Soul. The Soul Burner for bad extreme sports blokes, the Diva for glamour girls and the Searcher for urban ...

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 ...

What’s new on Audi’s Geneva Motor Show stand? The biggest news from a sales point of view might have been the A4 Avant – on an all-new chassis for improved driving ability and a bigger boot – but new variants of the TT, Q7 and R8 arguably stole its show stand thunder. The production diesel TT and Q7 were finally ...

What’s new on BMW’s Geneva Motor Show stand? It’s significant that of two debuts on BMW’s stand one is an X5 derivative. The other is the M3 Convertible. For the first time this model features a folding hard top but it also pioneers BMW’s seven-speed Double Clutch Transmission that will come on all M3s from now on. The show also ...

What’s new on the Honda stand? The big news is the all-new Accord. This is the eighth generation of Honda’s Mondeo. Trouble is, try as it might, Honda has never managed to tickle the taste buds of the BMW/Audi set with the anodyne Accord. It’s always been regarded more as a fleet car than a fleet-footed car. This new model, ...

So what’s new on Citroen’s Geneva Motor Show stand? Citroen has gone in big with its new C5 Touring estate, which arrives in the UK in June, two months after the saloon’s debut. After the hideously ugly current model, the new estate is a seriously good-looking car. Citroen‘s design is on a real roll at the moment – the Tourer’s ...

What's that: a cool and understated Golf wagon? You'd better believe it. And it's more than a modified Golf estate, it's the spearhead for Volkswagen's renewed diesel push into North America. VW knows that young car enthusiasts see the influential SEMA (Speciality Equipment Market Association) as the barometer of what's cool and happening. So by launching its new 2.0-litre TDI ...

Let me guess…some fuel-guzzling, turbocharged behemoth? It might be a diesel, but yes, it’s still all of the above. Ths is VW’s new R50 and it’s the latest car from VW Individual, the same engineering group responsible for the Golf R32, Passat R36, and the Bluemotion range, including the Polo. The Touareg R50 has VW’s 4.9-litre V10 diesel but with ...
