Damn; I love the thought of a Hyundai beating up on a Mustang! TCstang guys should too! lol. If the weight stays down it should be great.

I like it. I'd buy one as a daily driver.

And then I'd mod it to the point that it's a pain in the ass and breaks all the time.

And then I'd be pissed.

And then I'd have to buy a daily driver..

... The last company I worked for I purchased an Accent for a delivery car and it blew the Focus's away for reliability and was a lot nicer to drive....

So, the new hyundai should be the best/fastest delivery car ever?

haha, I was just adding a comment on the quality of Hyundai as I drove a few different models lately. Now if it was AWD then it Would be the best/fastest delivery car ever. Obviously.

I kinda like the RWD platform. Even though AWD is fun, I still think RWD is more fun :)

I love that the turbo-4 is going into the base model. It means they'll be plentiful, cheap and should build some real aftermarket support.

Hmm, weight doesn't look real low. The Sedan is 3,800 lbs with a V8 and this one is smaller and they were concentrating on weight, so I would guess around 3,400 lbs.
