It was down to a 350Z or an R32 in my quest to own a V6. Both are great cars, but as I placed my mind over my heart, the choice was clear.


Amongst the Laguna range of vehicles in the Renault stable, the Coupe is definitely the most stylish, as compared to its hatchback and sedan siblings. Though many (usually the automotive purists) may scoff at its attempt at being a pseudo Aston Martin, those in general would probably appreciate and fall in love with the car, which means a job well done for the designer. But has the designer done much then? There is a saying that goes along the lines of 'Less is more', and for the Laguna Coupe, Renault has managed to achieve that with its clean lines.

IN Super GT 2010, Suzuka

Team strength brings ARTA HSV-010 its first win of the season while MOTUL AUTECH GT-R passes RAYBRIG HSV-010 to finish second!


For the No. 17 KEIHIN HSV-010, its first podium finish of the season was also its first victory. For the team and for Koudai Tsukakoshi, this was their first SUPER GT victory. Toshihiro Kaneishi has one victory in the All Star Race of 2004, but this is his first win in a series round. After having victory stolen out of their hands, the No. 18 Weider HSV-010 (Takashi Kogure/Loic Duval) team settled for a disappointing second. Finishing third was the No. 6 ENEOS SC430 (Daisuke Ito/Bjorn Wirdheim). Staring from eighth position on the grid, the first-stint driver, Wirdheim had managed to avoid the early confusion and move up through the pack. Over the second half of the race, his teammate Ito had been able to hold pace and claim this podium finish. With this finish, Ito and Wirdheim remains top in the rankings.

To sum it up, the general driving impression of the Koup is one of a lifestyle car that has been styled to look sporty, with mechanical paraphernalia that delivers an improved driving experience as compared to its sedan sibling. That being said, KIA is spot on in terming the Koup as a sporty car, rather than a sports car, and with a fairly competitive price and no real competition in the market at the moment, the Koup is the ideal car for those who are more concerned over aesthetics than outright performance.
