The Hyundai Genesis Coupe seems to be getting some serious attention at this year's SEMA show. One of the most interesting tuning proposals, or shall we say concept studies, based on the South Korean model is the Rhys Millen Racing fabricated RM460 Genesis Coupe.

Alpina was one of only two foreign car brands (the other one being Lotus) to make its way to this year's Tokyo Motor Show floors.

We've yet to finish our coverage of the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, but we gathered that you might enjoy an 'oriental-break' with a mega gallery of the beautiful female models that did their best to 'hot-up' the numerous vehicles on display at the automakers' booths.

In our 'high-octane' world, the term "sleeper" usually refers to cars that while appearing to be standard, have high-performance capabilities. We're not sure what's hidden underneath the hood err... skin of this fellow journalist (?) that was caught snoozing with his shoes off at a bench somewhere at the Tokyo Motor Show, but it certainly made our...

Tokyo '09: Toyota Sai Hybrid is a Budget Lexus HS 250h

Posted: 22 Oct 2009 11:51 AM PDT

We think that the title and the pictures say it all about Toyota's second dedicated hybrid model after the Prius and first in sedan form that made its world premiere at the Tokyo motorshow. Nevertheless, if you insist on learning more about the all-new Sai hybrid sedan, it is a more affordable and cosmetically reworked version of the recently...

The Tokyo Show marked the world debut of Honda's Skydeck concept, a 6-seater hybrid minivan with Lamborghini-style front doors and a pair of sliding doors at the back.

Posted: 22 Oct 2009 09:37 AM PDT

One of the less known - if at all - small Japanese carmakers, Suzusho, unveiled its latest creation at this year's Tokyo Motor Show, the lightweight Supasse-V. The strange-looking sports car with the scissor doors that reminds us of the Lotus Elise in philosophy is powered by a midship-mounted, specially tuned version of the 2.3-liter turbocharged...
