Sweet!!

These are supposed to be press photo? Some of them look very photoshoppy.

Still, fantastic job on the coupe!!!

domino, i think you can attribute that to the leaked focus group pics.
i want to see the interior, which is really all that we havent seen.

Yep, exactly what we where expecting. Looks part Lexus part Infinity IMO but very nice non the less. Will do wonders for Hyundai's image in NA. Still kinda makes me wonder why they didn't opt for the same route as Toyota and Nissan by releasing a separate brand for their "luxury" cars

i have a feeling that will come eventually. after being in a hyundai dealer a few times the past month, it was getting harder for me to imagine the same person selling an accent, and then going to sell a full-blown luxury car to the next person.

I know i feel the same about this, i think it will be harder for Hyundai to first introduce their cars with thier badges and then go and convince people they are actually premium. Of course one might argue that if the cars are sold in reasonable, non "German-Lexus premium" prices then there is no need to worry. But still most brands want to have at least one premium brand under their corporate umbrella for image reasons so i do think Hyundai will go for that in the future..good luck to them
