Some proper images of the i-Flow concept presented by Hyundai at the Geneva motor show (via hyundaibuzz). If the interior styling is anything to go by, I don't think we should take this concept too seriously as a "preview" of the forthcoming "Sonata for europe" model.

AOL has an excellent first drive of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The car has been getting rave reviews generally, as expected. But this article is good journalism to boot. Particularly, in the section titled The audacity of limiting choice, Reilly Brennan analyses the wisdom of doing away with a V6 engine option, in the current US market.

There's an uncompromisingly negative review of the Hyundai i20 1.2 in today's Guardian (via www.hyundaibuzz.com). While its i10 and i30 sisters have mainly broken past the lingering doubts in European minds over Korean cars, the i20 still gets a decidedly mixed bag of reviews.

A couple of stories on hyundai-blog.com show some leaked images of the i40, the new mid-luxury sedan soon to take its place above the i30 within the i range in Europe (it's still called the Sonata in the US). The car looks like a winner judging by this post and especially this one.

Much of the motivation for driving all the way to Scotland was the strong urge for some kind of road trip. Since we got the i20 in March I've been itching to put it to good use -- to find out what it can do.

Having recently bought a spanking new Hyundai i20, I was initially excited by the claimed fuel consumption figures, then duly disappointed that my own real-world results seemed pretty far off. But then I found out a few things about how the official figures are measured.

Taking pride of place in our kitchen are a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine and Rocky grinder. Because this combination produces pretty good results, friends in the market for a home espresso machine sometimes ask me what I would recommend.
