Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

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.

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

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

^^ 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.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

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.

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.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

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+.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

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.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

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