Welcome, I like these cars, they are funky and I’m into it.

Personally I’d drive a Hyundai way before I drove a GM product.

Nice photos.

So is this considered a four door or a three door…?  
I know the hatch can be counted as a door + the 3 doors…

Bash Hyundai? The car company that has improved the most in the past decade? They rock.

Bash Pontiac? The car company that only had 3 good cars in the past decade? 2 were Australian and one was German? :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone, I was like ughhhhh when it was hyundai to, hence the blacked out and white on white badges. Traded in my Rx-8 for it, overall i like it more now that some engine work is getting done, turbo and drop on the way. I picked this one over the turbo because the 6k difference i can dump into this car will make it faster than the turbo. Plus i’m not a fan of the back end on the new one. This little car turns heads and everyones ask about it, so i can’t complain. hopefully ill see some of you guys at some local shows 🙂

Looking forward to seeing what people start doing with these cars, they seem pretty cool.

But I must ask why you dumped the RX-8 for this…those are pretty cool cars, terrific handlers…

i drive from b-port to the city for work everyday plus college, about 60ish miles a day. The rx-8 was like 10 mpg and i was filling up every other day with the way i drive. I have a DD town and country but i cant stand huge cars. I only use the van if its real bad for my current ride. I plan to put some work into the V as soon as some more parts come out.

Turbo comes out in 3 to 4 months. Hope you enjoy the superbowl commercial for the V.

Yeah those are the Korean Velosters. Borderline rice on some of them with the decals. But the one has a nice drop and wheels. The blue one, if i recall has a 3 pipe exhaust, they have one done-up differently in each color.

hey man i can get you a deal on all Hyundai accessories and if you want to drive the turbo when it arrives shoot me a pm, i would be happy to throw you the keys. I work at a Towne Hyundai with JBgti.

And fyi guys these things are a VERY hot seller i have sold 2 this week, one from the autoshow already lol. Actually one of my customers called me the other day about their “winter mpgs” so I was thinking great here we go, BUT they were excited to tell me they were getting 48mpg on the highway, cant imagine what its gonna do in the summer.
