Acura's BMW X6 Rival has a name: ZDX Concept
The New York Auto will see the debut of Acura's BMW X6-esque crossover concept that was formally named today the ZDX. "The ZDX prototype is unlike anything you have ever seen before from Acura," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. "The prototype showcases a new level of luxury, style and refinement for Acura and speaks volumes towards our commitment to advancing the brand, he added.
Acura said that its luxury four-door-crossover-sport-coupe-like-profiled concept cars will be followed by a production version that is scheduled to arrive at U.S. dealerships this fall. As we speak, there's no information on the ZDX's hardware but expect to see a V6 engine among the offerings.
Acura's BMW X6 rivals is here, but the real engine and cars body was not officially revealed.I hope it just not a teasers and rumors saying it is better than what BMW X6 has to offer.

Hyundai Tiburon Successor that's Planned for 2011
With the new, rear-wheel drive Genesis Coupe already available on the market, Hyundai is now concentrating on the successor of the Tiburon (called Hyundai Coupe in Europe and other markets) that is scheduled to be introduced in 2011. Speaking with Autoweek magazine, John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai Motor America, revealed that the firm's new coupe will be positioned below the current Tiburon in terms of size and more importantly, in price. If you're thinking in the likes of the long-gone Honda CRX, you're probably right. It will have a lower price point, kind of eco sport positioning, where it is not going to be all about performance," Krafcik said. "It is going to be very fuel efficient. It is going to be stylish, a real nice complement to the Genesis coupe," he added.
Krafcik also noted that the new coupe will share a front-wheel platform with the Hyundai Accent and Elantra and that it will be offered with an entry-level 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, adding that the car's styling will draw its inspiration from the Veloster 2+2 coupe concept that was revealed at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show.We can't say that we're surprised with Krafcik's revelations as it was apparent that Hyundai would follow a different road with the Tiburon's successor after the introduction of the sportier and more powerful, RWD Genesis Coupe.
