The shots show what is essentially a stretched Clubman with a slightly jacked-up ride height, but the added length won’t include the addition of another set of doors. The Monte will be equipped by a variety of gasoline- and diesel-powered engines, ranging from 1.4- to 1.6-liters.
Kia Borrego

To be launched in 2008, the Hyundai Genesis will be Hyundai’s first rear-wheel-drive V8 model. These spy images show an unknown, bigger F-segment luxury sedan.
