2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 MT Review

July 5, 2011 /

Bullz-Eye.com staff reviews the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 MT!

When I first saw the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track M/T in my driveway, the first word out of my mouth was “Wow.” This car has a very distinctive look that evokes different emotions from everyone who sees it. No doubt that the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track is a great looking car, but how does the rest of the machine measure up?

Exterior
There is plenty of confusion when folks first glance at the Genesis Coupe 3.8 because most people don’t know what the car is. The sleek front end and overall muscular stance combine for a unique and very attractive package. Our gorgeous Genesis Coupe was equipped with 19-inch gunmetal finish alloy wheels with staggered high-performance summer-compound, Xenon HID headlamps, heated mirrors with illuminated turn signals, a rear spoiler and black-out front lower fascia. Hyundai was right on when they describe the Genesis Coupe as having “a sculpted aerodynamic profile for high-speed stability.” The modern design of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the drop-beltline rear windows add a fluid and sensible characteristic to this gem.

Report: Volvo to launch new performance line

July 4, 2011 /

From AutoBlog.com:

If you ever looked at those old Volvo ads that suggested their station wagons were the next logical step up from a Lotus, well, you can stop snickering. Sure, it may still be a long shot, but Volvo appears to be getting serious about offering performance-oriented automobiles.

A couple of weeks ago, we brought you a report that indicated Volvo was forging a closer relationship with Polestar, the racing outfit that fields the company’s entries in the Scandinavian and World Touring Car Championships. Volvo, it seemed, had already turned to Polestar to squeeze a bit of extra juice from its S60 and XC60 R-Design models, and according to the report, was prepared to utilize Polestar’s talents even more in the future.

A clearer picture of that that partnership is now emerging, and so far, it looks promising. Their first collaborative project is tipped to be a production version of the baby-blue, 400-horsepower, all-wheel drive C30 hatchback unveiled last year. If given the go-ahead, we could be looking at a limited run of 500 cars priced around £50,000 in the UK – about the same as a BMW M3.

World’s Most Beautiful Cars according to MSN

June 30, 2011 /

From MSN.com:

What makes a car beautiful? Is it flowing lines, pleasing proportions, a clear identity, a strong sense of character, exquisite details — or a mixture of all of the above? True, the assessment of beauty ultimately remains in the eye of the beholder, yet its truest manifestations always seem to elicit unanimous praise and approval. We have looked far and wide to choose the most beautiful production cars of the last few years, and agonized over a list of 10 standouts. The fact that most are European will not come as a great surprise, but the inclusion of a compact sedan from South Korea should raise a few eyebrows.
