Hyundai has been stepping up their game recently, but this one is a rare miss. It's ugly, and the ride and drive isn't very good.

Its kinda cool, i guess. Im not anti-hyundai or anything, but i would greatly prefer Genesis coupe on looks alone. Havent researched the car at all, what kinda of power does it have?

its not out for months. it doesn't matter anyways. the internals of the engine are not changing. just the ECU, and bolt on parts.

True, good point. So does it really get 40 mpg as Hyundai claims? Is it yours or the girlfriends? Or do you have two "nice" cars now?

Lol what prompted the quick change? I thought you liked the corolla? I approve of the up grade. Just curious though.

The sunroof rusting and the warranty expiring. I did not want to be caught dead with that car after that.

nice looking car man. a buddy of mine at work just bought one in white about 2 weeks ago. i think they are cool looking but the wheels should be a bit bigger IMHO but other than that, i like em.

What kind of #s you looking at for a payment? I'd like the GF to get one in a couple years when there are some on the used market. I think they're great looking cars myself. Super different and original. Sporty looking.

It's like a "next gen" EG hatch IMO.

I saw one on the way to the range today.

It's the car for people in Chris's situation. Wife, one kid but no more, and wants something sporty, but wants an econobox.

The rear-end is ugly as hell, but it's not that bad if you squint as you look at the driver's side from a 3/4 view.

In for the read. Pretty sure this is my favorite new car (reasonable, that is). I'm hard pressed to like anything but Hyundai is fucking impressive as of late. Excited to see real world gas mileage figures. Only problem I would have, I'd have to get the panoramic sun roof, there's no way around it. And blue. But to each their own.
