The newly formed Genesis luxury brand has the potential for a supercar in its product line-up as it seeks to take on the established might of its German and Japanese rivals. All high-end luxury brands have created supercars to act as a halo, a top-tier product that showcases their technological and performance know-how, one that is out of reach but aspirational enough so that it helps create an additional layer of desire for the brand’s lesser models.

Expect to hear some significant details on the long-awaited, and officially confirmed, Jeep Wrangler ute spinoff inside the next few months, well ahead of its expected premiere later in 2017. Speaking with Australian media including CarAdvice at this week’s New York motor show, head of Jeep globally Mike Manley said the Jeep pickup would appear after the reveal of the next-generation Wrangler, which could occur later in 2016.

The new-generation Subaru Impreza sedan and hatchback – or 5-Door, as it will be known in the US – have been unveiled at the 2016 New York auto show. The new-look Subaru small car models are built off a brand-new architecture – the Subaru Global Platform – which means both the sedan and hatchback are bigger than their predecessors.

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has been revealed - possibly by accident - at the 2016 New York motor show via Subaru's Periscope social media feed, which was prematurely cut short. Thankfully, Subaru followed up with three official images that show a cohesive Impreza with flowing lines from front to rear. New polished wheels team with a rising beltline and sculpted chisels at the front and a new headlight cluster.

In 2010, Renault design boss Laurens van den Acker, only recently poached from the top spot at Mazda, revealed his vision for the French brand’s next-generation styling. That concept, the DeZir, went on to inform the look of everything from the compact Euro-market Zoe through to the big Master van. The most recent models to wear the company’s family face include the new-generation Megane, the mid-sized Talisman and the new Kadjar SUV, among others.
