Aston Martin again proves less can be more with a cool and sophisticated convertible version of its DB11 GT.

The AMG GT is better than a race car for the road because it offers all the comfort and luxury that is completely absent in a track car.

The Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe is the king of the range listing for $361,042.

The Mercedes-AMG GT C sits in the middle range with the Coupe listing for $311,142 and the Roadster convertible asking $329,843.

You might want to split hairs over whether Mercedes-Benz's second-generation CLA is actually a 'coupe', but this compact four-door beauty is undoubtedly a car design masterclass.

The Hyundai Veloster is back for a second generation and while it still has the same ugly-pretty looks, some major changes have taken place.

The Turbo Premium sits at the top of the three-grade Veloster range and starts at $38,990 for the manual gearbox variant and steps up to $41,990 for dual-clutch automatic.Powering the Turbo Premium is a 150kW/265Nm 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four. Hyundai says consumption will be 7.3L/100km with the manual gearbox and 6.9L/100km with the dual-clutch after a combination of open and urban driving.  Standard features include an 8.0-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eight-speaker Infinity sound system, proximity unlocking, LED headlights, sat nav, digital performance gauges, digital radio, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, power adjustable driver’s seat, head-up display, heated steering wheel, sunroof, wireless charging and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres on 18-inch alloys.Note: CarsGuide attended this event as a guest of the manufacturer, with travel and meals provided.
