Hyundai Coupe in SEMA??

lyjw88 · 11-01-2007, 11:30 PM

Design wise, I personally really like Hyundai Coupe, especially the modded ones.

Were there any Hyundai Coupes in SEMA??

WTF...really WTF!!!! that is NICE

Hyundai is fast becoming the new Honda

lyjw88 · 11-01-2007, 11:34 PM

Yea I really agree with you Munich

But no matter how much effort they put in, they still carry the stigma...sad...

I know, it is a sad thing...but you know what...give it a few years. Hyundai will be the new Honda, and then there'll be some other crazy Asian brand that'll be making affordable low-end vehicles.

It's like car lineups. The cars get bigger and bigger to the point that a new small car is introduced (like the 1 series).

I have a 07 Hyundai Elantra for my work car. It's incredible. For the price and amenities that come with the car Nissan, Toyota, and Honda can't touch that price.

It's a smooth little car with exceptional pickup, a quite interior, nice lines, and a well layed out dash. Is it a BMW, NO, but it really does get right up there with the other Asian brands.

The new SUV even beat the Lexus RX in a head to head.

lyjw88 · 11-02-2007, 09:35 AM

Yea Veracruz beat RX330 in every aspect lol

I bought my parents a Tucson and a Sonata this past year. They love those cars. Reliable, Nice, Smooth, and "simple" enough for my parents.

Plus....easy on my pocketbook.

i can't wait to see how the coupe will look and perform when they put it on their new RWD platform in 2009 or 2010...

nmulax · 11-02-2007, 10:56 AM

Great lines, definitely has that Ferrari/Maserati GT shape to it.

In a few years we will start seeing Chinese made cars in the US market for under $10k. I think the brand name was called Chery, but there was a law suit because it was so similar to Chevy. So I don't know if it has changed.

Doubtful that they will be in the US that soon, due to their horrid crashtests:

Maybe we'll eventually see the Chinese knock-off of the X5, too ...

That orange coupe looks really good. I like it! The lines are nice as previously mentioned. It is sad that the stigma is still attached to the Hyundai line. My mom had a Sonata rental, and that thing drove really smooth; much better than I expected.

hks786 · 11-03-2007, 08:35 PM

I used to like the Tiburon before the latest model but now they ruined the front end. Although they have made the rear a little cleaner. Anyway is there any more pics of that orange one? it's really nice! Looks clean and subtle, not tacky and cheap!

I think Hyundai are turning themselves around. Here's the new Sonata interior:

I think that looks miles better than the old one! and here's a cool transformers video showing the changes from old to new model. I just found this video today, it was just released I think:

Oh yeah and here's sketches of the new Tiburon, looks great IMO!

lyjw88 · 11-04-2007, 12:17 PM

Here you go HKS, more pics of the car

ska///235i · 11-04-2007, 12:58 PM

wow...thats a Korean Astin Marton

sbw · 11-04-2007, 01:12 PM

Hyundai seems to be going after BMW with the upcoming Genesis rear-drive sedan and this rear-drive coupe! Should be very interesting to see how these cars compare! Hyundai sure is ambitious!

hks786 · 11-04-2007, 02:30 PM

wow thanks for the pics! that looks hot. I'm not 100% with the skirts as they are a little fussy and I'm not sure about the wheels, but OVERALL that looks great. It looks the way the Tiburon should look! I hate the stock front!
