Devised to take on the premium European small cars exemplified by the BMW as well as the Audi A3, the forthcoming compact is understood to be in co-development with the next-generation IS due about 2012. The sub-IS model is priority number one at Lexus at the moment as it seeks to weather the economic storm, lure more younger buyers and move in the general downsizing direction of the lux
ury car market. The fact that there will be a hybrid version of the BS leads to the conclusion that a hybrid IS might also see the light of day when the all-new version arrives.
Lexus has even put the sub-RX luxury SUV (to be based on the LFXh concept) on hold as it focuses on bringing the BS to market.
Korean car manufacturer KIA, seems increasingly active in promoting their car production. Evidenced by the display of all-new 2012 Rio at the Geneva Motor Show 2011, which proves that the KIA is ready to compete in hat
ch car market world. This would seem to be true story when referring to the KIA brand’s product chief, Benny Oeyen.
At the Geneva Motor Show held last month, KIA presented the fourth generation of the Rio Hatch. It is said to British magazine Autocar by Kia Marketing and Product
Manager Benny Oeyen that sport model is an
absolutely must be owned by any automobil
e manufacturer to join the market race.
