While the two prototypes may look similar, upon a more careful examination of the photos and specific details such as the lights, the dashboard and the window line, we determined that this is not the new generation of the Genesis but the North American market 2014 Equus facelift, which has been <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/hyundai-introduces-facelifted-2013.html">announced in South Korea</a>. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/u-spy-facelifted-2014-hyundai-equus.html#more">Read more »</a>

2014 BMW M4 Coupe Rendered: What do You Think?

<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/2014-bmw-m4-coupe-rendered-what-do-you.html"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9yJCytG7_tw/UNmtM4LYTGI/AAAAAAAK1ec/6e1Nx8E7KDE/s1600/2014-BMW-M4-1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; Border-bottom: 8px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); cursor:hand;width: 645px; height: 349px;"></a> BMW’s decision to rename the 3-Series Coupe <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/BMW%204-Series">the 4-Series</a> has certainly resulted in a lot of debate. Munich’s reasoning is that the Coupe is different enough to its saloon sibling, upon which it is based, to deserve a new designation. Moreover, it adheres to the carmaker’s decision to name coupes, convertibles and sportier-looking sedans (think 6 Series Gran Coupe) with even numbers, something that will also be applied to the forthcoming 1-Series Coupe that will be renamed the 2-Series. Does the name change really matter? You betcha; that’s because it will also affect the M-Division-fettled range topper of the coupe and possibly convertible range, which will no longer be named the M3 (though, the name will continue with the sedan) but the M4. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/2014-bmw-m4-coupe-rendered-what-do-you.html#more">Read more »</a>

New Kia Pro_Cee'd GT with 201HP 1.6-liter Turbo Driven!

<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-kia-procee-gt-with-201hp-16-liter.html"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r7jEW-nd7vc/UNilwcNpkmI/AAAAAAAK1Sk/r73GvJqyTic/s1600/Untitled-15%252B6.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; Border-bottom: 8px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); cursor:hand;width: 645px; height: 349px;"></a> If you've been monitoring the news in the automotive world lately, you will probably be aware of the fact that Kia is completing work on its first hot hatch to take on the likes of <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/VW%20Golf%20GTI">the VW Golf GTI</a> – at least in theory – in Europe. In addition to <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/scoop-kia-new-proceed-gt-hot-hatch.html">our own scoops</a>, Kia has offered us teaser sketches and <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/kia-confirms-preliminary-specs-for.html">preliminary specifications on the GT</a> variant of the five-door Cee'd and the three-door Pro_Cee'd. As it turns out, though, Kia has done much more than that as we were tipped off about a video shot earlier this month in which a one Vadim Ovsiankin has not only filmed a prototype of the Pro_Cee'd GT inside and out, but he also took it for a spin on the road, where we see the sport hatch hitting speeds of up to 180km/h (112mph) on public roads. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H7lUdteMQOw/UNim2L4UcuI/AAAAAAAK1TA/w_-wZ7-_4_g/s1600/Untitled-1dsgfdg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H7lUdteMQOw/UNim2L4UcuI/AAAAAAAK1TA/w_-wZ7-_4_g/s200/Untitled-1dsgfdg.jpg" width="130"></a> Kia's two new GT models are powered by a new version of the brand's 1.6-litre GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) petrol engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and strengthened internal components. Maximum output is 204PS (201bhp), up 51 per cent over the non-turbo engine, with torque up 61 per cent to 265 Nm (195 lb/ft). <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-kia-procee-gt-with-201hp-16-liter.html#more">Read more »</a>
