man... hyundais done it again. this car is sooo unique yet practical and affordable i think it's going to be a major hit here in U.S. I was never a fan of Hyundai cars but the improvement they are making is hard to ignore and now they come up with a fuel efficient sports car.... what the fudge. hyundai has changed from copying others to coming up with totally unique and original. i am in a market for a new car and this one is on the top of the list.

I love how they grabbed the CRX part, and they actually did much better than Honda did with the CRZ....lol Shows that Hyundai is taking Hondas sales left and right!

Nice and gay automatic. I can easily take that piece of shit in my Sentra lol.

Oh wait, I have already! Shifting at 4k RPM instead of 7k RPM.

@vsn119

not entirely 'original'. Many of them are image refresh and direct response to competition counterparts.

that and marketing and pricing were geared towards their target demographics. Much like Apple's tactic by marketing their simplicity. That combined with the crippled Japanese automakers and struggling American automakers at the time; the timing could never be any better. In other words, a well executed offensive to take the public's hearts. Nothing unique or original about that.

@vsn119 8.8sec 0-60 no where near a sports car. the Sonata is faster.....

[nismofury]

Its ok but whats the point...fuel efficiency, performance, price??? 40 combined mpgs, 0-60 in 4 secs, $10k msrp? ?? Nothin unique or special about this...3 doors so what. Make it a coupe or 4 door.

cool but have no money buds~~~~~~~

@Acc0rd79 agreed! I wanted to like the CRZ so much since it looked great and had a cool interior, but the power train scared me away. but the veloster does a much better job with the overall package. props to hyundai, they just keep on surprising.
