All those pics and no interior shots, no engine, no weight. It 's just a shell. I use to have one on my go-cart, kinda cool.

They've come a long way since they first started. I heard they actually closed down their plant and rebuilt everything. Their quality has risen and the cars are getting great marks from Motor Trend and other mags. Most of their cars built after 2000 are well made for the price.

Come on guys, Hyundie is a brand for immigrants in my country. Stop saying it's cool, it will be a grave on wheels.

...so wait what makes Mazda not a brand for immigrants, not even just Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, BMW, Audi..... God I could do this all day!!! Whats with all the brand bashing, all were tryin to say is that Hyundai's come a long way.

You can already take the current version and pump it up to 300 poines.

I've seen it.

hahaha.....brand for immagrants.....interesting statement.....I like seeing how different vehicles are seen in other countries. I mean mazda is now owned by ford.....we can get into this forever; everyone will have slightly different views. IMO if I car is good on paper and holds up to those standards then who cares about the brand. Pretty sure Hyundai is NOT a grave on wheels....at least not in Canada anyways, think they have a 5 star crash rating....like most cars these days.

God, Thank you Gecko. Finally someone with some competence.

No worries......the time of basing the quality of a vehicle on a brand name is over.....every manufacturer has their strenghts and weaknesses. But bashing based on OLD stigmas, reports, and reputations is not the way to do things. Drive what makes you smile....plain and simple. Doesn't matter if its a acura to a volkswagen, different dealers offer different things for different people. But, again, bashing based on a name is ignorance.

I like how it looks and if it does what they say it should be a good car. Its hard to beat RWD for 300hp 25k. thats one hell of a deal. And it should out handle a mustang as it has a real suspension (think it has wishbones at every corner). To me it looks better than the Z and undercuts its price by a significant bit.

Looks better than a Z, Horsepower of a mustang, real suspension, RWD, all for 25K?

Thats a winner.

faboo

Hyundai can do HP, powertrain layout, styling....but "real suspension" i have yet to see...my GF has a 06 tib GT...nice car...but "real suspension"?????

Noble Wolf

My info says that the handling/suspension will be higher than the D1 or time attack standards, and performance-wise it will be a rough 10 second car. Everyone should sell his RX8 for this!

I love you hyiyundie, you are the best

Ah and it will have the same motor as Evo X +250 NOS (for those who like straight racing) I cannot wait to see it on the market!!!!!

I know a guy at work who has a tiburon with a supercharger. It's not fully modified, and is more on the safe side for reliability he says, but I tell ya, that car freaking FLIES, especially from a roll. I've driven behind him in my Speed 6, and he pulls away on me. It's even faster then a stock Mazdaspeed 3, and will will beat one. Car has been extremely reliable with this setup as well.

I gotta say, minus the FWD, which I just can't imagine going back to now that I've been bitten by the AWD bug, that car is freaking SWEET to me. I love the looks, and I've driven a regular one, and I think it's a fun little car. I'd imagine his car is a blast. I should ask him if I could drive it. He just loves it. It's like a little rocket ship, I'm telling ya. I won't dare race him.

However, who am I to stop the flaming and bashing. CARRY ON!!!!

LateralSpeed

Seriously, it's gonna be a good sporty car. I used to own a '04 Tiburon V6 with some mods and the thing pulled pretty good.

Fwd! Booooo

Real suspension as in unlike a mustang with whom it shares a base price tag it has an IRS rather than a solid axle connecting the two rear tires. Think i read it some article that it would have wishbones at every corner.

leakslikasieve

some of you guys are missing the point of those pictures. that is not what the car is going to look like when it comes out. that is wait hyundai thinks the tuner crowd MAY do to the car when they get there hands on it. the REAL genesis coupe is http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/3726

overall i think it looks great, could have better rims. but great overall. and if its like the rest of the Hyundai's its interior will kill a mustang.

LateralSpeed

Agreed, although it's not very hard to beat a mustang interior

leakslikasieve

i agree with that as well, i wanna see what upscale cars it will take down.

Gecko69

I actually prefer the actuall production version better then the one they had showing what they thought tuners would do to it. This car has so much potential.

Noble Wolf

Oh my god, now I 'm sold, these pictures are great, please, if you can find more I would be very interested not to see them. Thanks in advance.

Hyiyoundie is the quintessence of cult! YES!

Design1stCode2nd

Hyundai, Kia, whatever. As long as it performs well, is cost competitive and reliable why would you care what the badge is?

SlayerRX8

I'll make sure to laugh when you guys buy this car. It's another Hundai ripoff.

Front: IS-F/Celica

Rear: G35/350Z

LateralSpeed

Yea, that's what Hyundai does. The new Sonata has nearly the exact same tail lights as a '04 Accord Sedan. I don't care where the styling cues come from as long as it looks good. Odds are I won't buy it anyway since I love both cars I have but I still think it's pretty sweet.

Noble Wolf

Please, don't be so cruel with HiyoynDIE fans, this upcoming model will be much better than your boring and slow RX8s
muahahah

Rx-8u-Up

Great idea with the front end. But for the back end. Wouldnt you agree its a little more G35/2005-now eclipse w/ 350z taillights lol
