Leaked Hyundai i35 Coupe Photo

Real or not?

Could this be the Hyundai i35, a production version of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe Concept?

I do hope this is a fake because if this is what the replacement for the tiburon, I may decide to rethink about purchasing the car when it comes out. The whole front clip is aweful, the large intage and the the headlight ruin it for me. I prefer to see a production version closer to the concept, particalury the headlights

I really don't see how they are copying audi's grill anymore then any other car with a single center grill. If anything it looks slightly more like a 300c grill.

It's definitely fake...look at how the left taillight is higher than the right one. Plus, we already saw leaked photos a while back. Sorry, this ain't the real deal.

This is most likely fake. Although good, there are some perspective (look at side mirror for start) things wrong with it and most professional people who render would not use the 2007 sonata wheels. Although it is semi-nice design it is to spliced together

Yeah looks really fake. The things in the grille are totally horizontal while the nose doesn't faces the camera directly

It looks like they used the profile of the R8 front end. Look at the headlights, they are missing the LED's but are the same shape as the R8 as whe;; as the two arches in the hood aver the lights. The rear quarter panels are from a Astin Martin and the Mirror is placed at a bad angle. Plus there isn't the dip in the quarter glass that Hyundai said was one of their design cues. Definately a fake.

This pic has been around for a while. I have a copy of it on my computer from May 2007. (I liked the style and used it as a background for a while...)

This is an accurate picture this is NOT the Genesis Coupe. This is the 2009 Hyundai Siren which willl replace the tiburon. Pictures of the toned down version of the Genesis Coupe appeared before the souped ut concept model. The Production model can be found here.....http://thehollywoodextra.blogspot.com/2007/11/hyundai-genesis-coupetiburon.html

K, considering where Hyundai has come from, this is an amazing car! V6, RWD, "300HP", c'mon... plus its a sexy yet aggressive little car, with a sports package and a nice clean interior, this is a direct 300z competitor and a 240SX replacement!

Yeah, I saw this image a while back; it's just an old chop, and not a very good representation of the production vehicle. C'mon, ya'll! Don't you remember the Chicago car clinic spy shots from a few months back? THAT was the real deal.

I was quite shocked and dissapointed with this pic, thinking that this was the real deal. But I think this is fake fortunately. Yeah this doesn't look together overall in the photo.. Something doesn't seem right. Hyundai emblem seems stuck on. And the fake sonata wheels... The headlights look like this o_O

Look carefully and you'll see the head lights aren't even aligned, although its supposedly on a flat surface. The front grille isnt' aligned properly with the angle it is being shot at. The wheels are obviously ps'd as they are out of focus (blurry), and don't match with the resolution of the other parts of the car. Finally, the front skirt isn't aligned either. Very poorly done, unless this was a fast chop.

That's a side mirror not a taillight. Look again.

To view images of an actual pre-production vehicle, type "Hyundai RWD Genesis sports coupe Uncovered" in the search box. It should be the first article that comes up.
