Proton's New SUV?

Genesis:The Proton MSX Concept.

News of a Proton Suv in the pipelines have surfaced a long time back ever since the MSX concept broke cover,but nothing concrete was ever produced;until recently;that is.

The Youngman T5(Notice the Proton Personas at the background)

 

It is a known fact,Proton was commissioned by Youngman of China to develop an Suv for The Chinese Market,it is said that Proton themselves were awe-struck by the end result and planned to integrate the Suv into their very own line-up.The Suv in question is the Youngman T5,some lines are clearly lifted from the MSX concept and hints of Proton Dna is quite clear(the front grill for example) ,and to my eyes atleast,its clear why Proton wants to bring it into their own stable,It certainly is a looker!

Slovenian Supercar!

The Tushek Renovatio,the Company's first car.

The Slovenians have decided to have a crack at building a supercar,and have taken  dead aim at the Italian!

Slovenian supercar maker Tushek Supercars is planning to build which they say will rival the likes of the Lamborghini Aventador.The car itself,dubbed the Tushek Forego T700,is also said to be able to pull up to an impressive 3.3g in extreme cornering.Further Details are still scarce at this point,but if the styling of the car is anything like the Renovatio,i don't think the italians will be having sleepless nights just yet. 

K9 By Kia

Sale of the all-new Flagship model by Kia,Dubbed the K9, has begun in its native South Korea.The K9 is Kia’s first rear-wheel-drive saloon and is powered by a 286bhp 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine.

Kia’s chief design officer,Peter Schreyer,  was quoted: “K9 is all about elegant simplicity, balanced proportions and simple surfaces.

“K9 is a clear signal of our intention and determination to compete head-to-head with the European luxury brands. And for Kia, our customers, and for me – this car is like a dream come true,”
the car does look good,but some design cues are worryingly similar to the Lexus GS300
