Unless you've been living under a rock, you know by now that Hyundai unveiled its Veloster coupe at the 2011 Detroit Motor Show. So, what's with the 'scoop' title of our post, we here you ask? Well, this here example is the European spec Veloster and it was caught undisguised by our spies in Germany ahead of its debut at the at the Geneva Salon in the beginning of March.
If you have not looked at the Hyundai line in some time, you may have missed many of the updates the Korean automaker has made in just the past few years.

Depending on the model variant, the X1 proposes gasoline and diesel engines, rear-wheel drive (sDrive versions) or all-wheel-drive technology (xDrive), as well as a range of BMW EfficientDynamics features including Brake Energy Regeneration, Auto Start Stop, and a gearshift point indicator.
On the practical side, the rear seat comes with an adjustable backrest (for angle) and folds down in a 40/20/20 split, extending the luggage compartment capacity from its original 420 litres to a maximum of 1,350 litres. Above the 5 passengers, an electrically operated Panorama glass roof is available as an option.
Luxury and Comfort, The '57 Chrysler 300-C, based on the New Yorker with lots of changes, was built using body-on-frame construction. It had new 14-inch wheels as well as new dual headlights which allowed for up to 75 feet more vision when driving at night.
Chrome seems to add a luxurious feel to any car and the Chrysler 300 is no exception. There are chrome accessories for this vehicle for trimming the fender, the bumper, and the rear deck. Even a fuel door cover in chrome or door handle accents is available.
The back of the side mirrors can have chrome backs added to them for a bit more flair. For even more chrome accessories, to make the 300 truly decked out, pillar post trim, rear bumper trim, chrome arrow body side moldings, front bumper caps, and even fender vent port holes can be added.
The new Audi A1 has not yet hit the roads, but motorists are already queuing up to place their order. Some are so keen that they are willing to pay up to 24 thousand pounds - which is a considerable fee when you consider that the list price begins at 12 thousand.
At the moment some of the best contract leasing deals available are with Audi lease. The company's vehicles are renowned for their safety features, sturdy construction and stylish lines and you can now add to that their value contract hire deals.
The range of Audi cars that are on offer to lease covers a large part of the range, from the new Audi A1, the reliable and sporty Audi A3, the spacious Audi A4, and the sporty Cabriolet are all cars that provide a great driving experience for the family or business user. Customers looking for a chic and elegant sports car will find the range of Audi cabriolets excellent value, while the Audi TT Coupe and Roadster are always guaranteed to turn heads and provide a smooth and comfortable drive.
Because it is a compact minivan, the Mazda5 is quite smaller than the usual set of minivans on our roads and streets. It has already presented and proved itself to the market as a vehicle that is able to transport passengers and cargo while providing performance and an unforgettable driving experience. Its parts may not look like those Mazda RX 7 performance parts you find in the market, but its own set do give the Mazda5 a different and unique appeal. It looks sportier than most minivans in the market which is greatly enhanced by its own sporty features and parts. Plastic covers that are clear enough to show the colored taillights give the Mazda5 an even better look.
As for the accommodations, both Mazda and Kia are at par with each other. In the third row Kia has noticeably more legroom, headroom, and knee room. On the other hand Mazda has a hard plastic trim piece that is right over the head of the passengers. In terms of seating comfort, Mazda provide slightly more comfort since its seats are higher off the floor approximately 270 millimeters compared to the 230 mm on Kia.
The maker of Mazda radiator, Mazda and Kia seem to use a different method when it comes to calculating the relative space available however one thing is for sure with the third row deployed, there is no cargo space in either vehicle. But take note once the third row is down the cargo space quadruples. And with the center row seat flat, the Rondo opens up to 73.4 cubic feet. The Mazda 5 was able to match this space however its roofline may slightly limit its overall height.
The 2011 Mazda5 is both very affordable and fuel- efficient with several features that guarantee safety as well as comfort. Impressive new features include pack- and- pinion steering with Electro- Hydraulic Power Assist Steering system and Anti- Lock Brake System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist.
