Lets say you have the power to kill one model and bring back another. What do you choose?



I would kill off the N/A veloster (only keep the turbo) and I would bring back the turbo S-coupe.

Not too sure which one I'd kill off.... prob the Azera. Do they even still make it? And I'd bring back the Pony pick-up truck!

Develop a smaller RWD platform for a series of vehicles including a 2 door hatch, sedan, and pickup Pony, along with other small RWD cars.

Get rid of the Veloster, I'm seeing too many of them now, and most people driving them are old (no offense to those here)



Bring back the HCD 1 because its probably the best looking concept car I've seen from Hyundai, Mate it with the RWD Genesis 2.0T. They would have a seriously fun sports car!

+1 binning the santa fe sport.







Now that I think about it, older hyundais are okay just staying as they are. A brand new pony/excel/s-coupe is just going to be rickety, slow, unsafe and probably not worth the faint nostalgia.



I dunno, maybe homogolate a 4G63 X2 excel panel van or something.

The Santa Fe Sport is a Tucson with different badging. It's pointless

Tucson, azera, Santa Fe...I'd put all three through the shredder...Wasted design time for a better looking gen coupe or maybe a less futuristic elantra...



I say bring back the Pony as well.
