  A Grand Monday: Hyundai Pony 24 Apr 2017 (News)
  Hyundai's first assault on the European car market began in 1976 with the launch of the Pony - a car that was midway between a supermini and a compact hatchback in terms of its size, but was one of the cheapest cars on sale at the time. That first Pony was utterly conventional, rear-wheel-drive, with a live rear axle and a chassis based loosely on that of the Ford Cortina.

  The future of car safety 8 Jun 2015 (News)
  The test involved accelerating to 50mph and then driving at a cardboard cut-out Audi moving at about 25mph. The technician told us to ignore the brakes and keep heading for the ‘car’ in front. As the distance between the car we were driving and the car in front became critical, a buzzer sounded – but we ignored that too. Next, the brakes apply themselves gently to really get your attention, at which point we applied a small amount of braking force.

  Sebastien Loeb Wins in Citroen DS3 First Time Out 7 Mar 2011 (News)
  “In a corner, the car understeered and I went a bit wide. I couldn’t avoid a stone on the verge and the left-hand front upright broke. I gambled and I lost, but above all I’m feeling gutted for the whole team. We’d done a great job since the start of the weekend and I didn’t manage to make it pay off by scoring precious points for Citroën.”
