After the 208 GTi Concept video, up to that of the 208 XY Concept (below)! The two "prototypes" will travel at the next Geneva Motor Show.

Infiniti Emerg-E Concept Leaked


Dubbed Emerg-e, the concept car has so far only been teased with a handful of close-up detail shots tinted such a deep purple we were half expecting them to break out into a rendition of "Smoke on the Water" – which was, come to think of it, set just across the lake from where the concept is set to be unveiled just a few weeks from now. But we digress. The point is that a series of what appear to be patent renderings have leaked their way online to give us a much better idea of what to expect.

According to the study, the average fuel economy of all 2012MY light vehicles available on the U.S. market is 21.5 mpg US (10.9lt/100km).

Kia's ad for this year's Super Bowl, called "A Dream Car. For Real Life," will likely be a hit.
