Mazda MX-5 and Mazda2′s Black Edition Comes In Every Color… Except Black

If there’s one thing that can be said confidently about any car labeled “Black Edition”  is that the car surely will be available in Black Color, isn’t it? We even have examples in the form of a Porsche, A Unimog and a Hummer. If you also thinks like that, then let us you that it’s not always true. Even we were shocked to know that.

Future Hyundai Genesis Will Be Having All-Wheel Drive

From analyst’s perspective, the Hyundai Genesis is a "near-luxury" car from every aspect, but as far as the recession-muddled customers in market are considered, the Hyundai Genesis is a superb, low-key alternative for the big German models in the market. This could be one of the major reasons why the CEO and president of Hyundai Motor America, Mr. John Krafcik only just confirmed that the Hyundai Genesis will be getting an all-wheel drive, when the car is considerably redesigned. The all-wheel drive Genesis could be expected in the model year 2014, though. In a media statement though, Krafcik said, "The Company has a plan to take care of the current absence of an AWD option for the Hyundai Genesis sedan.” Now, if you are wondering on how significant is it to actually have AWD,  [...]

2012 Hyundai Azera Will Make Its First Appearance at Los Angeles Auto Show

If you look at the entire lineup of Hyundai, and have a look at their all new 2012 Hyundai Azera you might find it a tad odd fit in the Hyundai lineup. The reason why we are saying this is because the car enters in between the Hyundai Genesis and Hyundai Sonata and makes use of the front-wheel-drive structural design. To make it clear for you we would suggest you to consider the Azera as a rival of Toyota Avalon, and as a big, comfy cruiser for more conventional buyers. Nonetheless, Hyundai is dedicated to launch the car in US and the automaker has confirmed that through Twitter that the next-generation 2012 model will be making its first appearance at the Los Angeles Show later this year. It perhaps is safe to consider that the 2012 Hyundai Azera will be having shape pretty similar to  [...]
