Spy Shots: Saab 9-4X Interior Photo

Saab's new 9-4X SUV spotted entering the Nurburgring circuit in Germany. The 9-4X shares the same platform with Saturn Vue and Opel Antara but will be revised to fit the premium segment.

Sources have claimed this prototype has a 284 horsepower V6 engine under the hood mated to an automatic gear box. The dimensions of the model stand at a length 495cm and 192cm wide bringing an estimated weight to around 2180kg.

The car carries some similar design cues to the 9-4X BioPower Concept with the aggressive half oval grille. But the overall profile of the vehicle had to be heavily toned down for production.

The car is expected to make its world debut at next year's Detroit Motor Show before production commences at the GM factory in Mexico. - More pictures after the jump...

Leaked: Hyundai i35 Coupe Photo

Worldcarfans has received this photo from an anonymous source, is believed to be the production version of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe Concept. While they can not 100% verify its authenticity, Hyundai refused to deny that it is an accurate representation.

Believed to be called the Hyundai i35 Coupe should go to dealerships during spring 2009. The car will get a 3.8 liter V6 engine rated at over 300 horsepower, with 250 ft-lb of torque, and mated with a six-speed manual transmission. 0-60 mph times could be less than six seconds. It was previously reported that the 2+2 rear-wheel-drive coupe is separate to the front-wheel-drive Tiburon replacement.

The prospective of the Hyundai i35 Coupe looks good. The production version stays really true to the concept's more chiseled side and front styling. One thing that makes us think is that Hyundai originally said a factory model of the Genesis Coupe Concept would have three slats at the front to assist engine cooling. Remnants of this can be seen at the fog lights, but not in the oversized grille.

The deliveries of this car originally planned for early next year, production of an alleged Hyundai i35 Coupe would begin this year. And that means this photo may be real.
