Now that you have probably seen and discussed every and any relevant new model, it's time to take a look at some of the more feminine aspects of the Beijing Auto Show.

2011 BMW 6-Series Coupe Chopped from New Gran Coupe Concept

Posted: 23 Apr 2010 05:52 PM PDT

Here's a chop from the folks over at 'e90post' of what a potential new BMW 6-Series could look like (i.e good). Using more ellipsoid headlights, losing the RS5 nose, and cutting off two doors are a few details that make this photo-shopped 6 infinitely prettier than BMW's recent (as in today) debut at the 2010 Beijing motorshow: the Gran...

Mercedes used the Beijing Auto Show as a stage to debut its new, Chinese-market E-Class L. Built locally by Beijing Benz Automotive Co.,Ltd (BBAC), the E-Class L is nothing more than a stretched E-Class. Other than that, what do you need to know? Not much, actually. The car's length, wheelbase, and rear legroom have increase by 14 cm (5.5 inches)...

Posted: 23 Apr 2010 04:28 PM PDT

Hyundai UK must be very proud of itself, because it dropped a press release about a Northampton cabbie, his son, and the Hyundai i800 van (or MPV) they drive to Barcelona in order to pick up some vacationers and their baggage.

Hyundai staged the world-premiere of its all-new Verna small sedan, otherwise known as the Accent, at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show today.
