Hyundai Vision G Coupe Concept Car
Hyundai pulled the covers off a new, pillar-less full-size coupe last night at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Based on the second-generation Genesis sedan platform, Hyundai hopes the new Vision G Coupe concept will give customers the size, visual impact, and accouterments of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe without the nosebleed price and associated badge snobbery. Before evaluating whether the Vision G will work for Hyundai, a little back-story is needed. Hyundai, the little Korean industrial behemoth that could, shocked a great many people in 2008 when it rolled out the Genesis, a large luxury sedan. They can’t do that, some people said, Hyundai’s a bargain brand! Yes, but the premium segment is where the big profits are made. Business case in point, the original Genesis was successful (read: profitable) enough to warrant a second-generation car, introduced as a 2015 model. As you can see, although the notion of “stealth wealth” may not have worked out so well for the short-lived (in this country) Volkswagen Phaeton, Hyundai had better luck.As for the rest of the Vision G’s exterior, the hard side view of the greenhouse with the windows down is excellent. Of course, that’s the magic of coupes without B-pillars. They look fabulous. Find me an example that doesn’t. I’ll wait. However, viewed from the front or the rear, you notice that there’s not enough glass. The relatively small windows make those views bunkerish; tight and confined, not vast and expansive. The next best angle is the front end, with its strong pewter-looking chain mail grille and decorative headlights. The weakest part (aside from the misplaced door handles) is the rear end. The creases in the trunk are just odd, and the taillights look like a Jaguar XJ when viewed from the side, and a Cadillac ATS when seen from the rear. The interior is good, but far too slavishly copies the S-Class. Dual flat-panel digital displays and the drilled-out Lexicon speaker grilles look copied, rather than something new, exciting, and different. But hey, as Woody Allen says, if you’re going to steal, steal from the best.

Jaguar F-type

The F-type’s sharp handling, bad-ass attitude, and gorgeous styling make for an extremely desirable coupe or convertible. The supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 makes 340 hp in base trim while the S gets 380 hp. A six-speed manual is standard with rear drive; an eight-speed automatic is optional
Audi i8

The i8 is the flagship of BMW's burgeoning eco-friendly i sub-brand. Offered exclusively as a coupe, the i8 uses an advanced plug-in hybrid drivetrain to provide an exhilarating driving experience while returning better fuel economy than even the tiniest economy cars sold on these shores.

Toyota Fun vii Concept Car
Called a mobile mood ring by some, the Fun Vii is designed to instantly
change inside and out. Its massive LED-screen exterior not only allows a
personalized display on the outside, but is also engineered to connect
with roadways, infrastructure and other cars on the interior. It can
even recognize you when you walk up to it. This, combined with
innovations in augmented reality, lets us look at the mobility of
tomorrow in a surprising new light
