This year, cars were in the spotlight. Volkswagen presented its new electric Budd-e Concept, while BMW showed off a vehicle that can park itself with the wave of the hand. Automotive suppliers also provided a glimpse into the connected cars of the future.Test it! The Hyundai GenesisHyundai is mainly known as a maker of compacts, but with the Genesis it hopes to cater to the premium, mid-sized car segment. And to do that the Korean carmaker has taken an unusual approach: the sport sedan comes fully loaded, though the only engine offered is a 3.8-litre, V6 gasoline powered one. Will this all-inclusive package be enough to win over European buyers?Examine it! The Porsche Panamera GTSCar tester Reinhold Deisenhofer took the four-seater Porsche Gran Turismo Sport out on the road to hear it roar. The new Panamera has more performance, grooved and vented brake discs, ten millimeters less ground clearance, dynamic chassis control, and adaptive air suspension - all as standard.The Panamera GTS' powerplant is a naturally aspirated V8 engine with 4.8 liters of capacity and an output of 316 kilowatts.Taste it! The Peugeot 208This little Peugeot first hit the streets in the early 1980s as the 205, and it's rolled with the times ever since, in terms of both design and technology. But how exactly does the French supermini differ from others? Car tester Emmanuel Schäfer has drawn up a personal six-point checklist for the 208, covering spaciousness, fuel consumption, driving comfort and more.Vintage! The Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray"Long and lean, every young man's dream" - the Corvette Sting Ray. In the early 1960s, Chevrolet set out to make an American counterpart to the likes of Jaguar and Maserati. The second generation Corvette grew a long, slender nose and bobbed its tapered boat-tail. New for American cars back then: the sports car offered an optional, 4-speed manual transmission.
