SPY SHOTS: 2012 Hyundai HED-5

Hyundai has been caught testing their new Mazda5-competitor in Scandinavia. This new Hyundai Elantra-based space wagon alludes to the reason why the Kia Rondo was recently cancelled, as Kia can be expected to get their own version of this vehicle as well. The compact microvan will come with 3 rows of seats. Engine choices are unknown, but Hyundai previously hinted that the production version of the iMode concept (which is what this is) could come with a turbocharged 4-cylinder (the one used in the powerful Sonata Turbo), which would make this one hot ride for a microvan.

SPY SHOTS: 2011/2012 Hyundai i40 CW (AKA: Hyundai Sonata Wagon)

Well well well - after some speculation regarding this very possibility, Hyundai has been caught red-handed parading around a nice, disguised wagon version of the new Hyundai Sonata! There's a catch, though - this was caught in France by a French magazine, and will be called the Hyundai i40 CW when it is released there, and who knows if it will come out in America or not - but considering the seeming growing desire for wagons over here, the possibility of a Hyundai Sonata Wagon (or Touring?) really is not that far-fetched.


RENDERED: The Subaru "Toyobaru" RWD coupe

As we all know, Toyota and Subaru have been developing a new RWD coupe together, the "toyobaru" has fans and enthusiasts have taken to calling it. Both versions of the car are known to feature a flat-4, courtesy of Subaru, but overall, both companies are providing and sharing the technology involved in this car. Toyota has provided plenty of renders to show off their version of the Toyobaru coupe, first dubbed the FT-86 concept, now called the FR-S. The name is still unknown in Subaru guise, and no official renderings have come out, but this illustration shows what the Subaru RWD coupe could and should look like when it arrives here.

RENDERED: Saab 9-2 (92) and Saab 9-3

The Saab 9-2 (or 92) and 9-3 are coming soon, with real pretty new designs by Jason Castriota and new platforms that are non-GM related, and these renderings could be a nice little preview of what the real thing might look like. The first two pictures of the small Saab hatchback would be the Saab 92 or 9-2 (or even Saab 9-1), which, according to sources, Saab will outsource to BMW, to build off of the MINI platform, using MINI hardware, but built as a Saab. The new 9-3 should be built off of the new Spyker-designed Phoenix platform.



RENDERED: 2012/2013 Hyundai Veloster (Tiburon)

The very long awaited Hyundai Veloster has been said to be on the way out here, to America, under one of many different names - the next Hyundai Accent (which is debunked), the next Hyundai Tiburon (which is still entirely possible), or with the name it has now. But either way, when this car comes to America, it is no doubt going to be, like everything else Hyundai comes up with, a huge hit. And now, thanks to these renderings from Theophilus Chin, we know a little more of what we're going to be getting.
