*New* RWD Hyundai Coupe revealed

From those news hounds at:

Features:

Ipod integration in center console.
Bluetooth w/ stock head deck.
Sunroof.
Limited slip.

Marketing will tell if it:
MIGHT have Brembo brake upgrades.
MIGHT have its own badge. (Tuscani for example)
It keeps the LED turn signals on the side mirrors.


Nothing was said about a V8, but remember, he said these pictures/information was taken back in June. That is plenty of enough time for change.

This is the first Hyundai coupe I've ever seen with large enough wheel wells to fit in with the rest of the car. Odd rear window styling though...

As usual Hyundai with an identity crisis. Looks like an Accord coupe with a little Eclipse in the ass. Weird. But like 07Blakblak said, wow those numbers for 25k....

with the V6 it would be ok, but that car looks to damn big for the turbo 4 cylinder.

I kinda like it

I like the styling and the numbers...but I'd have to drive one for myself to make a real thought about the car...

The Tiburon (Hyundai Coupe in Europe) is actually known to be a fairly decent drive, with the exception of the lack of power from a V6 (200ish?). So, hopefully this follows in the same vein. Lack of power is fine, as long as it drives well.

I just don't know if I can bring myself to drive a hyundai. When I bought my truck Ford was a better deal with more power but I just couldn't see myself in it. Its all about preferrence...

wouldn't be better if you get a 2.0 turbo than just getting the v6? cause you can modify the turbo easily.. and with extra 6k..
