Sigh... it's either a manufacturer gets the look right with fail spec, or nice spec with fail look.

It'll take more than 208 HP.

Sure. Too bad it doesn't look remotely close to the production vehicle. Apparently, they needed 300hp AND a change in looks to outrun ugly!

Well at least the OEM 208hp powered version will be able to run, unlike the CR-Z which can't even crawl it's so slow

Sure. It'll be able to catch all the people that are running in terror. It'll be the Predator of the automotive world.

And, let's remember: this is a RUMORED model with RUMORED power at this point.

I drive cars, not spec sheets. Hyundai basically builds by spec, ignoring things like tuning, cohesion, etc. Like if someone said "Ohh, we're going to make the perfect woman....5'8"...blonde hair...tanned skin...long legs...big boobs..." Got all the specs, right? But then she's a horse face. All the numbers don't mean shit.
