I'm with you man, I just can't get into it. It's got a great side profile, but the front and back views are terrible. Of course that's just my opinion, I drive an X and it's very polarizing too.

the ****in car looks great, i been preaching for so long that this is the next sport compact car! I'm ready to sell my evo for this thing!

But why did they have to go and throw a disco potato on the damned thing, I mean ****e! Like a 3076r would've been just fine.

I've seen and sat in the car in person at the Detroit Auto Show. I thought it would look better than it did in person. The side profile is nice, but the front end looks like its got a cleft palate. The rear end looks very generic. Personally, from an exterior as aesthetic standpoint, I thought the Tiburon looked better.

The interior was typical Hyundai. It feels so very cheap inside. Cheap to the point where I don't know if I could deal with it...and i've got an Evo IX! Seriously, it makes the Evo X's interior look like a Bentley's. Just imagine the same monogomous crap black hard plastic texture EVERYWHERE. There should be warning label reading, "CAUTION: Keep looking straight through windshield and avoid periferals as sight of monotonously, bland-***, cheapo interior may induce nautia."

I have a feeling it will have mediocre handling - it is a Hyundai after all. The straight-line acceleration, while great for a Hyundai, will be short of competitors. Its a good package for 26k brand new (i.e. WAY better than a Ralliart), but I'd save for a X or a 370Z before I'd consider the V6 version. The 4B11 version seems to make more sense if you can tune it - well, WHEN it has been tuned.
