New Crossover Concept coming at the Geneva show. It runs March 8-18th I believe. Looks... like a Hyundai concept. Looks to build of the HCD-9 and HCD-10 concepts with a dash of Smart paneling.

From TCC:

A teaser sketch of a new crossover SUV from Hyundai has been released ahead of the car's world debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Few details are known, but the vehicle has been developed using advanced materials and is said to be environmentally friendly. It's also expected to set a new standard for pedestrian impact testing.

that looks wicked. So, could someone enlighten me just what a 'crossover' vehicle is? Is it some sort of warped semi-SUV?

Pretty sick lookin', but i'd like to see a longer tail end on it. The way it is now it looks like they meshed a Focus and a Buick lucerne and plopped it on 20's.

A "crossover" generally an SUV-like vehicle based on a car platform instead of a truck platform.

Doesn't seem to need it's own category but everyone is using it now. Crossover sounds a lot more fuel efficient than SUV, so that has something to do with it.
