hyundai's new 300hp V6 rwd coupe for under 25,000, still just a concept but it will go into production, just with less carbon fiber and smaller wheels like all productions.

Hmm wonder why I like the styling tongue.gif

that thing is sexy... but it's hyundai...

originally i wanted a tiburon, but i love the celi because it has lines kinda like the tib, split lights like the tib, and it's not hyundai... nothing but bad luck with them.

but that thing is beautiful.

Hyundai has come a long way and I see good things written about them.

It looks good, seems to have nice power. However, according to the write up in the January issue of C&D, it's 3500lbs, and 0-60 in 5.9seconds. It's a heffer.

You gotta admit Hyunai's stepping up from when they first came out. Too bad they weigh soo much, otherwise I'd definately look into one for a next car....eventually smile.gif

From what I Hear the new celica is going to look like the 7th gen... but crappier. wedges have never appealed to me. the sweet curves of the 6th gen is just sweet. plus, the new celica has nothing close to a GT4. for obvious reasons.

oh and Hyundai still blows tongue.gif

sometimes I forget the age range of the people on this forum when I read some of these comments...but I suppose it all makes sense.

Anyways I like that new coupe, I see that company making a strong change as an automaker and if Honda/toyota are not carefull they may get kicked off. Yes in time but it can happen. Look what happend to Ford.

As I've said in the past I've given up on the toyota/honda sports car line upand basically jumped away from that bandwagon. It's crap really, toyota killed off the celica/mr2(s) and the only thing close to a sports coupe is a Solara which is gonna get killed this year. The tc is a joke, sorry guys but I see nothing sportish about it. It just another rahashed toyota. At least the celica had a special motor.

Honda axed the S2000 and the rsx. And who knows when the next sports car will come out.

I had a Z but it ended horribly. I want a gt-r but I'm scared of nissan quality, and the markups are going to be crazy for the first few years.

To be honest theres really nothing good(sports car wise) for under 35k. I hyundai steps it up with their new coupe.

doesnt matter what they come out with, cars are worthless these days. Ford started the downfall around 94 and 95, the only thing Cheve ever had going was that their parts where cheap (cuz Cheve breakdown all the time) and they where easy to work on but around the same time they went the way of FORD and started stuffing everything in as little a space they could, still easyer then FORD but not much.

Toyota and Honda last a little while longer but around 2000 they started falling off too,

To many computers to mess up stuff, needless plastic junk to hid the engine, and the most important part and this may sound like comspiracy, but im convinced that cars these days are built to start having major problems after 5 years of owning them. Thats a major reason i love this Year Celi, Simple! like cars should be.

I will never own a new car. they are crap, plan and simple. its stupid to need to be a rocket scienist to work on a car.

As for Hyundai, its a Hybrid, no torqu, they havnt figured out that part yet for these hybrids there for making them crap.

Uh...yeah...what?

I like the hyundai tiburons the best, one of the few cars that a similar to the 6gc curve wise (and proves that our cars needed a v6 in them.)

I too have read where toyota was going to come back in 2009 with the celica. I haven't seen any concept ideas of it but I bet it would be similar to the 7gc but smoothed out a bit more. (mabey it will also come in an awd turbocharged format and brought to the states to compete with the scoobies/evos sold here) My wife said that if they did then we should get one. (I then told here "lets make love" because of that tongue.gif )

That would probably be the only time I buy a "new" car straight from the dealership.

IS350 is a joke and its in no way a sports sedan, just a straight line fast lexus. Plus were talking about new cars and you would have to be some sort of fool to buy a used toyota thats over 10-14 years old for 25k.
