Our spies have lifted the lid on the next-generation BMW Z4 ò€“ and the big news is that itò€™s getting a folding metal roof for the first time!

This one is the European design, which we think is a fine job. Pitched as a more versatile rival to Ford"s Mondeo and the Vauxhall Vectra, the Genus is expected to become a production reality. "It"s looking increasingly as though we will build something like this," said a spokesman.
Slotting into the range alongside the new Santa Fe and next-generation Terracan - set to go on sale in 2008 - the Genus will be designed primarily for on-road use, although it does have four-wheel drive. Meanwhile, Hyundai is reintroducing the Amica city car - deleted from the line-up in 2004 - due to continued demand. The 1.1-litre model is priced from ÷£5,995.
However, the new Accent could be axed before it arrives - it was set for launch this year, but may now be canned in favour of the next Elantra, expected in 2007.
