This car looks exactly like the RM16. Same huge flared fenders, same deep front intake, same rear bumper, and same side scoops for feeding the mid-mounted, 300-horsepower, turbocharged engine.

A mid-engine Veloster. That sounds pretty badass.



Kind of like the days of the Renault Turbo 5, or the Renault Clio V6 man. That's cool.

Ride height doesn't indicate the amount of driven wheels. Remember the Diablo VT?

Mid engine, AWD, turbo 300hp hatch. It would be game over for so many other vehicles if Hyundai releases this, especially if they can keep it in the 15-25K price range.

Personally I would be shocked if it's AWD. I think MR is a better layout for this.



Part of me actually misses the way the Fiero drove even though it was basically a hacked up Citation put back together with lumber and embarrassment.
