I think it looks alright, but it would have been much better received had it been in black, silver, or red. the expected sports car colors. they used that nasty yellow color introducing the rds... notice how many tuned rds around are that yellow? you think they would get a hint and use a sporty color on a sports car. Oh well, I would be awesome though for hyundai to make a really nice sports car, it would get the company alot more respect fast in the car community plus the new stuff they develop for it could trickle down to the tibs.

I love the way the headlights and the front end look. If it is light enough I may have to buy one in 2007 if it doesnt look too drasticly different (even tho it probably will).

The way Hyundai does things, don't expect it to look ANYTHING like that at all.

I was watching Pimp My Ride today, and some Yoga instructor chick had her Ford jeep-looking thing pimped to have a mini Yoga studio in it... and it kind of looks like the inside of this thing.

Sorry that it was already posted. I was looking through the gallery of that recent Detroit Auto Show and they showed it off there.

If this thing is the platform for 07 Tibs like someone mentioned, I don't know. It looks nothing like a Tib, but I am loving the whole front end of the car.

The color should have been black. wink1.gif

On the bright side it would be near impossible to miss a gear with that shifter like it is. laugh.gif

You have never driven a Ferrari, Ham... trust me, it is VERY easy to miss a shift if you do not get it exactly into the slot..

As for the colour... that is a VERY nasty yellow hue.. if it had been a more vibrant Yellow like Corvette or Ferrari Fly Yellow, it would have looked better.
