you might be surprised what's cooking behind the scene at Hyundai. Also they do work together more then people think with Mitsubishi also

I actually thought they will come up later with the high performance I20 as I heard over the grape vines.
But I do heard the AWD platform is really around the corner. Hence the extensive WRC and RallyX experiments from Hyundai.

Either way I hope this car will come out in AWD out soon for the street, like next year or 2018.




Would be a great other option, and maybe a good squeeze for the rest of the cars in this segment.

yeah the Mitsubishi Eclipe's were so great also the last 10 years, and yet the Evo somehow stood up from the crowed, don't you think?

in the article they say, they might (deppends on the demands of the car)considering the AWD version.
Now we know how Hyundai does with sales. SO there might be enough demand for the AWD.

...K? So a car that doesn't exist, with no specs, is a possible Evo replacement. Cool.

Exactly my point. Hell, in that very article, there is a suggestion that Hyundai is interested in the same AWD system used in the RS. So if the RS isn't an Evo replacement, how on earth can a car that doesn't exist but may use a system similar to the RS be an Evo replacement?
