Magna Steyr MILA Coupic revealed

Magna Steyr – an independent engineering and manufacturing company – will be revealing the MILA Coupic concept study at the rapidly-approaching Geneva motor show. The MILA Coupic, the sixth concept in the MILA innovation family, brings together three different vehicle concepts into one SUV coupe that can transform into a sporty pick-up or an open-air convertible. The concept is constructed using a combination of textile, glass, roof modules and seating technology.

Hyundai/Kia – the Hydrogen push.

Hyundai and Kia are making huge strides in to the mainstream car buyer’s conscientiousness. They’ve managed – in just a short time – to move from being an almost laughably cheap option for buyers with no money and even less taste to cars that offer serious and credible alternatives the best from Europe and Japan. So we now think of Hyundai and Kia as a formidable threat to established car makers, but not exactly innovators and pioneers.

Fioravanti Thalia concept

Fioravanti will be represented at the Geneva Motor Show by this, the Thalia, named after one of the three Graces of Greek mythology. The rear hump means a staggered silhouette, reflecting the rear seating which has been elevated to accommodate 'the most recent alternative energy technology.' Along with its unusual architecture, the sketch also shows a unique graphic break, with the dominant sweep and rear-biased mass reminding a little of the Mazda Senku concept. It will be interesting to see the model in Geneva.
