Peugeot Reveals First Pickup
A French pickup truck.
That seems like the kind of phrase that should never be put together in quite that order, but there you have it.
The French automaker recently revealed its very first pickup truck, the Hoggar.
The name comes from a concept that Peugeot unveiled all the way back in 2003.
However, the truck is not designed for a French market. Instead, the truck was actually designed in Brazil, specifically for Brazilians.
It was designed and adapted to the needs of its target market.
Brazilians can be on the lookout for the launch on May 15.
No, You Cannot Listen to Music on the “i-Flow”
This is Hyundai’s new concept. They try to alternately call it the HED-7, but it is a bit too little, too late for that.
Know what the concept’s real name is?
It is the i-Flow.
Yeah. Take a moment to process that. Goodness knows I needed about sixty of them.
This is one of the things I hate. I know that, by and large, the automotive industry is as low and deceptive as the fashion industry. They will say anything to get you to buy.
But just as, yes, every regular woman’s butt will look big in the newest animal print latex design from the designer flavor of the month, a lot of people will still be duped into buying a plastic outfit and an admittedly stylish but still mostly ordinary car because of its name.
The i-Flow. Hyundai is smart. People kill one another for iPhones. They steal from one another if it means getting the newest iPod. Obviously, Hyundai has learned a thing or two from the Apple phenomenon.
