1993 Hyundai HCD II Concept in full glory.


This was my favorite game in the arcades back in 1994 if any of you remember wasting handfuls of coins on.

HCD I - looked like the C5 Corvette, but designed 5 years before
HCD II - looked like the Jaguar XK
HCD III - looked like the Lotus

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I have too! I remember seeing it in a Nintendo Power magazine before N64 came out (it was called Ultra64) back when 3-D games were first coming out. Think about it, there will never ever be a time in history ever again where games switch to another dimension. That's what made it so cool. This was so much fun, and back then the graphics were stunning.

It makes me happy to drive a Tiburon, it has a history that not a lot of cars have.

I agree that it resembles those cars! Not a bad resemblance either. I think it's one of the coolest designs ever made.

The interior was awesome, inspired by aircraft (flight attendant seat):


What happened to these cool designs? I wouldn't say they got played out because there aren't many like them. Maybe people don't want to buy cool > practical, or maybe too many people just don't care?

that back seat design is in the new Kia concept. I remember posting about it a few weeks ago, but I think it was derived from old pickup trucks
