Hyundai... 3 series fighting RWD compact sport sedan?
 

Hyundai's at it again...:eek: They want to build a compact RWD sport sedan to be released after the genesis coupe redesign. Check out the scoop.

Hyundai to overhaul lineup, add rear-wheel drive sport sedan in coming years - Autoweek

If the next gen-gencoupe becomes a true competitor? That sport sedan will probably be a hit as well??? But if the gencoupe is still a more budget friendly sport coupe? So will the new hyundai sedan... We'll have to see which way hyundai goes over the next 2 years???

Just adding this older thread so others who don't know can see where hyundai is going with the gencoupe as well.

Not really a fan of the manufacturer, but their efforts have certainly paid off. They are steadily improving and people are taking notice. Kudos to Hyundai :tup:.

I personally am a fan. But i just am not ready to purchase a hyundai sports car just yet. I have expectations from sports cars they have yet to achieve... BUT the strides they have made in a short time are highly admirable and i don't rule them out as a possible future purchase.

i just can't see myself buying hyundai's.

i rather just spend the money and buy the real thing.

I suppose people felt the same about Datsun back in the 60s. Hyundai just needs to continue what they're doing. People will buy as long as they keep producing quality vehicles.

Said the poor man's porsche?

They have had quality vehicles for a while. But they are not going to extreme ends. The Genesis coupe was supposed to be a much harder sports car.. but they softened it up for more market appeal unfortunately. But they are making strides

Parents have the new santa fe sport 2.0T. And that things pretty damn awesome. Nothing comes close to it for the price / features and comfort.

Kind of a stale outlook that can be used on any sub premium brand. Including Nissan.

didn't mean to offend you, but i would prefer to have a 3series vs a copy of it.

is the Z a copy of the porsche? you really think that? you must not know porsche all that well. have you driven a 911 turbo? i have. it's like comparing apples to oranges and calling them both the same fruits. :ugh:

both have 4 tires and a steering wheel. they must be exactly the same! :rofl2: you fit the hyundai demographics well. :tup:
i was originally in the market to get a GTR...

you are perfect for hyundai. :)

I can see where this thread is going

:drama:

more of the market demographic / competition they were targetting. Like when they were making the GTR they were testing it against a 911 turbo.

Hyundai is targeting the market of the 3 series, not copying it. Nissan targeted the porche's with their sports car. Aka you have a poor man's porche.

I know you get it... I know your not stupid. you just act like a jerk. but thats okay too. its nice to hide behind internets.

:iagree:

P.S love that avatar

on a side note. I agree i would rather get the new 3 series unless this hyundai really moves this up market. The new one is really nice lol.

The 3series isn't what it was. I'd rather a Cadillac ATS.... So is the ars a copy?... Lol. If it is? I don't give a f..., it's still the better car. And yes I drove em both.

hyundai reminds me of samsung

nobody gave a sht about them 15 years ago
now everybody loves their products

What you will get is a Hyundai rear wheel drive compact sedan. No more no less. Best leave BMW out of conversation as it doesn't belong there.

Sort of reminds me of when Hyundai took V8 sedan and raced a 2.7 liter porsche Boxster to prove they had a fast car 0 to 60?

Hyundai as a manufacturer isn't rooted developing performance oriented cars. Korean culture in general doesn't have many motor sports enthusiasts compared to other cultures. Why would anyone expect them to make an exciting car? They have marketing wings in US who help dress up the pigs of cars they make with skirts and lipstick but let's get real, Hyundai isn't going to make a credible 3 series alternative anytime soon.
