Now now guys and gals, read what it says, it'll take styling CUES from the concept in the picture. The back is a bit too crazy for anyone to produce, and is way up to high.

Ehh, it's the same bodystyle, it's a coupe.
The back I'm not that fond of, but the front looks really nice.

either way guys we all know this will not go into production exactly the way it looks basically because it has the all glass top. that concept has not met the engineering capabilities needed for protection in a roll over crash.
a little less glass on the top, smooth the lines a bit, add AWD with a turbo version and I would go into debt, no questions about it.
to me, FWD sports coupes designs needs to be something that hyundai needs to stay away from. they can keep FWD with the elantras and accents. they are finally getting rave reviews with the genesis about to hit the market, why not step one bit higher and come out with a sporty compact like the S2K or something like a new STI.

^^^^that would be bad ass but hyundai's market wont pay up for it. i think they will have a hard time selling their 40k genisis truthfully. if they had styling right on and keep the price SUB genesis coupe they would sell these new coupes.

Nope. The Hyundai market has moved on, the GK kids helped that out. BTW< the Genesis is on pace to sell 50K in the US this year.
That's REALLY good.

it's confirmed to be based and developed on the i30 chassis. i've seen a handful of i30's with my own eyes. i want one. they're getting A+ performance/quality reviews in european magazines and they're saying it beats VW golfs overall! this is how they cleverly launched it overseas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbpZdYqhzIs
also means that it's going to be a german baby.
i30:
Wheelbase: 2650 mm 104.3 in
Track: front 1546 mm 60.9 in
rear: 1544 mm 60.8 in
Length: 4245 mm 167.1 in
Width: 1775 mm 69.9 in
Height: 1480 mm 58.3 in
Length wheelbase ratio: 1.6
Kerb weight: 1289 kg 2842 lb
Fuel capacity 53 litres 11.7 UK Gal 14 US Gal
2008 car of the year in Spain. 2007 Car of the Year and 2007 Green Car of the Year in Australia.
I also pulled up a work application for Russelsheim Hyundai design & engineering. INSANE. you have to be so bright, talented, multilingual, and experienced to even get a response from them. I'm also going to write a letter to them and tell them about this site.
