Same chassis as new Sonata, shares zero interior or exterior pieces. Guns blazing.

Make it with AWD/RWD and a 6 Speed and I'll test drive one.

Very nice looking inside and out. Nobody's laughing at the Koreans these days.

I think it is beautiful. Would I buy one? Probably not... Something about the Hyundai/Kia nameplate that turns a great deal of buyers off... I hope this changes because these cars are getting more and more reliable and are putting up a good fight against the Toyota's, and Honda's of the world.
