| YOU MEAN THIS IS A... |
| ...sketch of the Nissan Terranaut? Yes, it is. Developed in London (no wonder then?), the 'Naut is an extreme SUV for explorers. |
| THEY'D MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? |
| Not really. There's two seats in front for the minions, and one at the back for the researcher. The Naut gets space for the research lab and the strong look is complemented by the glass dome in the roof. |
| IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN, BUT WE THINK... |
| The Terranaut is thin disguise for Nissan's design direction. Their cut-and-dry, flat-paned and super-aggressive SUVs are about to intensify. Then again, research SUVs are an untapped market niche, eh? |
| Genus-side YOU MEAN THIS IS A... |
| ...sketch too? What did you expect, this is the preview report! The Hyundai Genus, in the metal will be the umpteenth crossover design study that 'captures the future trends in the D-segment.' |
| THEY'D MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? |
| Oi, this is Hyundai's Geneva centrepiece, okay? It works towards coupe-like dynamism in design and the versatility of an estate. Don't they all? |
| IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN, BUT WE THINK... ... the fact that this was designed in Germany has something to do with it. Just kidding. The design inspiration came from waves and tides, say Hyundai and the Genus is what you will be buying in the future. Like they say ad infinitum on the Ripley's show, believe it. |
