Hyundai has definately stepped their game up in many respects, but in my mind and MANY others it will always STILL be a Hyundai.

It's a nice car, it's put together well, it's got great pricing.

STYLE is an OPINION, in MY opinion it looks ok except for the front bumper, and the NASTY looking rear windows dipping below the cars hip line.

If I wanted cheap rwd I'd go 240sx, but that's me, or hey maybe a 3-5 year old well taken care of Z or g35.

you hit some valid points on alot of new car designs lately. the CRZ also has a weird belt line. but I bet the Gencoupes will change in time.

and remember this. the new Sonata has a 2.4l engine like the tC. but, it's 200hp with a 274 hp 2.0l turbo coming. you guys can't tell me this isn't intriguing in any way whatsoever. imagine cruisin along in your new tC with your fancy 6sp trans and you get smoked by, what might very well happen, a turbo Accent or Elantra.....yup, it's on the horizon. a faster car for way less money

I love those cars, just wish Hyundai could have stepped up to the plate and offered the 4.6 V8 as an option.

How do you feel about the backseat? Kind of a weird question but just wondering..I sat back their and felt like my neck was gonna break lol of course I'm about 6'1-6'2 so yeah..I noticed the backseat doesn't seem to slant down like it does in the tC

thats probably the only thing i don't like about the car is the back seat i'm only 5'8 and my head hits the rear glass on bumpy roads. back seats are good for kids and anyone 5'5 or below and having lower insurance rates compared to a two seater.

Yeah that was the only thing I didn't like either..otherwise I would have drove off the lot with one couple months ago after test driving a 3.8 track 6mt..that and I would get chewed out for weeks by a bunch of people for selling y tC right after paying it off lol
