There's an air of something "unpleasant" about this comment. I don't think you should dismiss something just because of where it is constructed. I doubt very much whether or not you have sat in, seen or driven one to jutify this comment; though you may prove me wrong...

Han: The Red Evo's yours Shawn Boswell: What do you mean? Han: You're representing me now. What you think, I'm gonna let you roll in a Hyundai? Don't need to say more, but I heard this car will be in F&F4, ironic huh.

Huh?....No way.Plus the cars are different styles, and the Hyundai will never be as iconic as the Challenger.

That is actually quire good looking. An R-Spec sounds interesting although Hyundai aren't known for prowess around chassis tuning.

nice looking coupe, but the interior looks very cheap!

Tabla rasa-a blank slate so the buyer can do what he wants with the car. In this age where most people replace stock items (which they paid for) with stuff to their liking this sounds like a reasonable option. At that price with easily tunable turbo engine, RWD, Brembo brakes and a limited diff it is tempting...

You know everyone is so quick to down Hyundai because its korean but every company has to start somewhere. Its handsome has similar dimensions as a G37 coupe, I'm sure its gonna perform. They are offering the consumer a track ready car for just 23k that's comparable to the mazda RX-8 which cost more for the R3 version. I applaud Hyundai for their ambition and courage to try to step outside of their box

I am in Korea now and I think that they are bad ass cars for the price. Not to mention they look good on the road. I have seen a few on the road here.
