what the hell? i was about to say that just looks like a mustang lol

looks more boring imo... don't like it at all. i'll admit was a fan of the looks of the older model

ironic · 11-08-2007, 07:52 PM

it might grow on u

ChineseGuy · 11-08-2007, 08:38 PM

you guys actually care about that car?

hks786 · 11-08-2007, 09:33 PM

Good:

- roofline
- dimensions
- stance
- clean lines
- bootlid/rear lights/rear bumper = perfect (look at spypics too)

Bad:

- 2 side creases look sort of weird because of the angle of slope
- not too sure about windows, could have made it simpler
- headlights are a little fussy and small

Overall, I've got hopes for it and cant wait to see official pics and bigger pics from diff angles.

hks786 · 11-08-2007, 09:37 PM

Wow I just seen a new pic. The headlights and front isnt THAT bad. It's actually quite nice!

325 Baller · 11-08-2007, 10:14 PM

great looking car for a Hyundai

Rips335iCoupe · 11-08-2007, 10:16 PM

What is with the back side window???

11-08-2007, 10:22 PM

haha is that from the la auto show set up?

ages944 · 11-08-2007, 10:24 PM

front end reminds me of the new Lexus IS. Back end reminds me of a Mitsubishi Eclipse. For me, that's the irritating thing about Hyundai's. They don't have their own visual identity.

Year's_End · 11-08-2007, 10:29 PM

Hmm...wtf's up with the side of the green house? That's also a pretty huge front overhang goin on there. I honestly don't think it looks all that great, but for a Hyundai it's well above average for sure. It looks too...I dunno...old already; like it was made from a used parts bin. I like the silhouette, and that's about it. The headlights look very Lexus-esque imo.

Year's_End · 11-08-2007, 10:31 PM

Oh yeah, the rear is very Nissan-esque, and the wheels are waaay too plain looking. The design's dated.

nmulax · 11-08-2007, 10:38 PM

Front looks like a Lexus IS, rear looks like a Pontiac G6, side (window line) looks like ass.

sofla335i · 11-08-2007, 11:00 PM

No one mentioned it is going to be rwd , and possibly be offered with a turbo engine.

If that is the case, it would change the way I look at Hyundais. Not that I'd be interested in buying one, but at least I'd respect it more.

Excellence · 11-09-2007, 12:38 AM

Hey, not bad it sorta looks like a copy of the new GTR. Hyundai has really made an improvement over the years.

It'll definitely be popular amongst the tuner crowd then.

Too bad its front wheel drive...

ZuerstBMW · 11-09-2007, 01:34 AM

Reminds me of the Nissan Altima coupe.

The article states that it'll replace the FWD tiberon, but it doesn't say whether the new one's gonna be RWD or not. I sure as hell hope not, but that would explain the rather large front overhang.

ZuerstBMW, you're probably right. If it remains FWD it'll be another Altima Coupe. A car with sporty looks and sporty aspirations but ultimately fails at achieving those goals.

youyou · 11-09-2007, 02:20 AM

Nice car actually...

Kit523 · 11-09-2007, 04:07 AM

the side looks like G37
and the rear looks like the new accord coupe
