A Hyundai I could be down with...

Maybe it's the wagon in me, but I've always liked the look of these, but been turned off by the HP. But with a turbo...

it looks good and 201hp is not a bad building platform, if it was awd it would be really nice!

I honestly don't know anything about them, other than just seeing a few on the road. I was thinking a twin scroll turbo sounded pretty good though.

a 201hp turbo car is pathetic, i think jettas are faster. and everyone with a veloster thinks they're driving a ferrari.

not really feeling it...the back end looks hideous. I think it looks best from the side, but even then its hit and miss to me.

I'll take the 2013 Genesis Coupe track package with the 348hp v6. It's purdy too.

Yesss! I saw one of these this morning on my way out of my neighborhood. I thought it was the IS-F, but it seemed a little different from other ones I had seen. They definitely did well on this one.

After driving F4 layout, I do not think that I will ever be able to go back and enjoy any FF. I'd be OK with a FR setup (i think).

and twinscroll is overrated

I do kinda like the looks of the thing just because my girlfriend would like it

I think it's a competitor with the GTIs honestly. They look pretty good in person IMO. Someone has one on base here. 201hp with 3rd door and ~30mpg ain't bad. It's not a performance car but for what it is, I kind of dig it. Better than a beetle or a minicooper anyway. Funny, when I read the title of this thread I knew it was this car. I will also mention the R-Spec Genesis 5.0 though while we're at it.

I saw one of these the other day in Granite Bay. Can't say i'm too fond of it. that front fascia looks hideous with all that cheap looking matte black plastic.

now that new lexus GS on the other hand looks HOT!!
