Can’t say I was to impressed at the interior quality of Hyundai’s I have driven or sat in. Given that they are aiming below the big 3 then I guess that’s acceptable. Just don’t expect Audi quality if you’ve been there.

Quote James “bavarian muscle, the japs took 40 years because they re-designed the modern car. thanks to them we have what we have today. it took the koreans only 15 because all they did was develop a brand from the current technolog

Ya think ????????? In my opinion the Japs didnt redesign anything ,they still copy just as the Koreans do its just they are doing it faster and the Chinese will do it faster again!

T6, Last year I would have agreed with you. But times have certainly changed. I was forced to rent a Hyundai Sonata for a few weeks last year. An my word was this the worst handling car i’ve driven since my VR commodore!

But we have to remember in the current financial climate Hyundai are still selling and growing. Which gives them the ability to say to the others. “Say what you like, were doing something right!”

I think this coupe will be good, But i doubt it will be cheap. I’ve heard prices starting at $23K USD. But the US always get cheaper deals than us.

bavarian muscle, the japs took 40 years because they re-designed the modern car. thanks to them we have what we have today. it took the koreans only 15 because all they did was develop a brand from the current technology.

Hyundai has done well, but this shouldn’t take anything away from the japs.

What! Its going to be at MIMS and yet its not coming out here? That has got to be THE stupidest thing I’ve ever seen!

The nicest Hyundai ever and we don’t even get it! I live near thier headquarters and they have the i10, i10 Blue, i30 CW and i30 Blue and I really hope that these cars actually get released here because they all look fantastic! Its good the i30 CW is coming here as the Astra wagon may have a comp on its hands…

With the whole LHD/RHD thing, I read that Hyundai Australia were pushing the factory to built RHD versions of the Coupe. I doubt it would be shown at MIMS otherwise.

I am really looking forward to seeing the i30 CW wagon as its based on the award winning i30 hatch & should prove to be very popular. With the added space the wagon should give I think Hyundai are on a winner here, but I just hope there will be no supply problems with the car.

Cheers !
