Subaru just unveiled the WRX concept, previewing what to expect with the next in its line of rally-inspired all-wheel drive sport sedan.

Drivetrain details are disappointingly absent, but the Japanese brand did unveil a few key hints about the new car. Compared to the current car, it’s 2.3 inches shorter in overall length, 3.7 inches wider and 3.7 inches lower. That lower roof will help improve the car’s center of gravity, as will the carbon fiber it’s made of. The concept also gets a carbon fiber rear diffuser.

But the biggest story is how it looks – a lot like a Jaguar. Any semblance of the car’s boy racer roots will be thoroughly erased if the production car turns out looking anything like this.

Instead, a gaping grille, wide vents around the fog lights and swept back headlights give the car a more mature look.

It’s wide stance and strong character lines continue around the sides and over to the deck lid which is designed to act as a spoiler. While Subaru might be trying to take a more grown-up approach to the next generation WRX, it still couldn’t resist playing with a few neon accents.

The WRX badge built into the grille, the brake calipers and even the tips of the exhaust pipes all get fluorescent yellow finish.

With the impressive HND-9 idea vehicle Hyundai is previewing the design and powertrain of the second-generation Genesis Coupe.

The “advancement of Hyundai’s fluidic sculpture design viewpoint,”exactly what’s perhaps more intriguing is exactly what’s under the hood, with Hyundai foreshadowing future powertrains with a turbocharged 3.3-liter direct injection V6. Power from the brand-new engine is an outstanding 370 hp, up about 20 hp from the present 3.8-liter V6. No torque figures have been mention, but anticipate the turbocharger to deliver well-above the 295 lb-ft in the current vehicle.

Power makes it to the rear wheels making use of the brand’s 8-speed automatic transmission.

As for the appearance, it mimics the impressive style of the HCD-14 Concept shown at the Detroit Auto Program this year, which is said to preview the next-generation of Hyundai’s luxury sedans. While the HCD-14 is even more of a design idea, showcasing concepts that could pertain to fulfillment, it isn’t really yet clear if Hyundai means the HND-9 to more closely stand for the production Genesis Coupe.

Look for even more details on the HND-9 idea and the future of the Genesis Coupe when Hyundai formally reveals the automobile at the 2013 Seoul Motor Program on March 28th. The Korean automaker promises more information not only on the car’s design, but likewise it’s”innovative technologies.”.
