you sure do love this "show" huh?
someone should tell him its not Hondai. its Hyundai. he mispronounced it about 5 times.

also... does he have some sort of crush on Amy Winehouse? mentioning her 3 times in one segment (for no REAL reason mind you) is ridiculous.

i give that 2 thumbs down

^^ werd.gif I can NOT stand the way he keeps saying Hyundai. It's not a Honda with an i, it's Hyundai.
And the chances of Hyundai putting a stock turbo in any of their vehicles is pretty slim, we've already seen a fully built concept with it, but still nothing in the production line with it. I'm not putting my money on that.

They have a 1.8 and 2.0 tiburon. Why not a Tau, and a supercharged Tau?

It would be good marketing.

Its been confirmed in like 10 different Hyundai releases in addition to krafcik (sp) saying so at its debut. The genesis coupe WILL have a 2.4T pushing out 215hp along with a 305hp v6. They didnt say "maybe" they said definitely.

And since you mentioned the production line, maybe your forgetting about the good ole scoupe turbo? that rolled down that line. If you want, we can set up a bet about whether hyundai will put a turbo in the genesis coupe, i say they will.

And a blown tau would be awesome, whether they do it stock or not, im sure there will be some taus that see boost in one form or another
