Hyundai Talus Concept

Anyone heard about this thing? It's a sporty looking SUV type. I know it's just a concept, but Hyundai seems to be making some pretty good cars lately. Too bad they sucked terribly when they first came to the US. They still have a bit of a reputation for craptastic cars. In maybe 5-10 years they might be very serious competition.

I didn't look too hard for info about this car. Everyone can Google. Here's a quick blurb about it with some good pics.

Looks pretty good. Kind of like an Aston Martin.




Since it is inevitable, I will say this now to save the other posters the trouble....wait for it...









wait for it....










It looks like an RX-8.

Didn't Isuzu bring something like this to the market. V-Cross or something like that?

I still think the FX from Infiniti is the nicest looking of all these sporty SUV types.

Looks pretty nice, if I ever was FORCED into a SUV (I mean gun to my head type stuff) I'd have to get a FX type SUV.

This concept looks pretty good and YES, it does look like it came from Mazda.

Because that's what they are......and so is the Hyundai Talus. Who said Koreans couldn't do 'redneck' better than Americans???

definitely looks a bit like a CX-7.

Not too shabby...we'll have to wait and see if they actually build them.

rx8wannahave......I don't think the FX qualifies as an SUV. Sport Utility Vehicle implies 'utility'.....the Infini's FX has no utility. The inside of those things are not much bigger than the RX8. This Talus is no SUV IMO.

True....... , but it's just SUVish enough to pass it off as IF I'm buying a SUV to please the person with the gun.
