When the Hyundai Ioniq 5 was introduced just over a year ago, jaws dropped. This all-new, all-electric crossover referenced Hyundai’s inaugural production car, and indeed South Korea’s first car, the Pony, from 1975.

The Alpine A110 sports car was actually introduced in 2017, but harks back even further to the 1963-1977 Alpine A110, described as a Berlinette (the French version of Berlinetta) otherwise described as a small two-door coupe.
If Shakespeare (Shahzad SheikhSpeare?) – the PlaywrightCarGuy – wrote car reviews, perhaps would they read like this? This is what AI ChatGPT thought when I fed it my existing review – read here – and asked it to rewrite it in a Shakespearean style!
