Hyundai HED-6 concept car for next Tucson

Hyundai Tucson By Ben Whitworth First Official Pictures 09 February 2009 14:09 This is a drawing of Hyundai’s concept car that we’ll see at Geneva that will then transform itself by the end of the 2009 into the ix35, the Tucson replacement.

But Kia is the junior partner in the Hyundai-Kia business, so Hyundai are obviously not totally thrilled that Kia managed to snaffle a designer who’s eye manages to so convincingly hit the Zeitgeist firmly on the head.

Cadillac CTS-V hits the UK

Who would want to buy a slow, old fashioned Cadillac in the UK?
