I appreciate the article. Great find. This car will likely be great and will do very well for itself. [B]It will probably be able to snag a few customers looking for luxury and sport- buyers from the G37/135/328 market[/B}. If the good looks from prototypes that are circulating make it into production models, it will be a stunning piece.
It isn't surprising that not many here will appreciate it. It seems a number of members here prefer their vehicles to be as emaciated and gaunt as a third world fed runway model with anorexia. (Before you flame- I am not knocking the idea of a lightweight car. If that is one's preference, cool. It just isn't for everyone. Some people expect a certain level of performance from their cars, and others buy cars simply because they look good.)

The interior of the G37 is just beautiful. Overall, the car is much more refined and luxurious.
But kudos to Hyundai for making a great car for the money.

The lighter colours seem to be less flattering to the car but properly modified, it looks really, really good.
