*NEW* 2009 Hyundai Genesis-based coupe UNDISGUISED!
Check the link out... it was taken at a group study for competitors...
http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/2008...e/479549/full/ Look at what car is behind in the background hehehehe |
Looks almost identical to the previous Tiburon...
https://cache.jalopnik.com/assets/re...tiburon_08.jpg ...and if that thing with the curved down headlights is a new Tibby...ouch. That concept was awesome, that thing is...bleh. Though, the front end is pretty much identical to the current Tiburon, aside from the headlights. Maybe it's just a focus group thing. |
looks the same except for the mercury like front bumper
|
its got sharper lines, i like
|
Enough with the stupid 5 spoke wheels...
It looks fine, but nothing special. I thought Hyundai was going to attempt to seperate themselves in the design department with this one, but it's just got too much of a Accord Coupe and G35 feel to it. I don't think it looks much like the previous car, which is a shame IMO because I thought it was a very nice design when it came out. |
wow this thing looks really good.

Isn't this one supposed to be RWD?

Not bad--definite styling improvement. Nice to see an 8 in the pics!
|
Too boring, too heavy (3450lbs) and they are using the Mustang as a target vehicle? That can't possibly be a good sign. Will Mazda just release the Kabura already and shut these people up?
|
Methinks I see some Eclipse in the rear...
Not a bad design but nothing to write home about, either. |
the only thing that stood out for me was the rear side window, definitely adds character. looks good to me, but nothing i'd be going gaga over.
|
I looks sharper and more defined than the older one
|
i think it looks like the new altima coupe and a new eclipse

Yeah, what business sense is there is wanting to target an iconic muscle car that's been around for 40+ years which continues to outsell all it's competitors year after year? Maybe they should target a car that sells 1 for every 20 Mustangs sold instead, like the RX8 :rolleyes:

Normally these focus groups are answering apples vs oranges comparisons on only small parts of the overall picture. It is much cheaper to use an existing product than to mock up using the feature in a prototype. If you want to know the target vehicle then look at the target audience making up the focus group. 25% young blonde females? |
Most likely they are using lots of vehicles for inspiration.......everyone knows originality is not Hyundai's strong suit. I'm sure they would like to capture some of the beauty and grace of the RX8 while tapping the raw masculinity and high sales volume of the Mustang.
