If you buy a house before April, the Fed will give you $7500 tax credit on taxes that you get back this year.... Which would make for a very good down payment on the car and your payments wouldnt be dick.

[FattyBoomBatty]

True, but you'd also have house payments. lol.

Putting off getting your own home soley in exchange for a Hyundai wouldn't be a good choice in my opinion.

Red looks quite nice:




But so does black:



But God Dammit... I am in the same boat... looking at buying my first house this spring, but also want an R-Spec when they come out Good thing they don't arrive state-side until late this year as a 2010 model, so I have some time.

If they can keep the price reasonable it should do wonders for their brand.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I just found out that the official pricing will be released at the Chicago auto show. The show runs Feb. 13 till the 22nd.

[A//// Guy]

Im guessing it will be above 23k Base.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

^^ I dunno about that. Base V6 maybe. They're trying hard to compete with the Camaro for cheapest car with 300hp. The bottom-of-the-barrel Camaro will be 23k. But that's with no options at all.

[sleepydsm]

Everywhere I read was the base was going to be sub $20k.

[rose0529]

wow black looks nice!... thats the first good picture of a black one i have seen..... I want a ride in yours when you get one kevin!

[asshanson]

I like the black roof on the red one, I wonder if that's custom or if some just come like that. The others I've seen don't.

[FattyBoomBatty]

That black one is sweet. I want one.

[A//// Guy]

Ill be really surprised if they come out below 20k. Look how expensive the ralliart is, and it shouldnt be.

Lets hope its sub 20. By the time you add alot of options, LSD, Wheels, HIDs, leather, etc 25+.

[Halon]

I like both the Red and the Black ones. I don't think I've seen one in a color I didn't like so far.

The black roof is custom. A lot of people in Korea have just taken black vinyl and laid it out on the roof. I kinda like the way that looks too. There's one shop that did a matte black finish using vinyl. It looks kinda nice. I'll try to dig up a pic of it. Also Peter, the Ralliart is a completely different car, so it's kinda hard to compare the price of that car to this car.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

[goodhart]

^ Thats all vinyl? I would think it would just be easier to paint the damn thing

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

It's actually easier, and far cheaper to wrap it in vinyl. A lot of businesses use vinyl wraps on company cars for advertising.

Had my girl who works for Hyundai find out some info today.

Cars will be in late Feb. or early March. No pricing as of yet. There is no waiting list right now like there was with the sedan when it came out. They are going to get in at least six at Walser to start.

Link with some good info
