Cool looking concept. Hopefully they start cutting less corners on the little things. My gf's Spectra has so many retarded little things that are obviously accounting decisions. Working on it is just a chore.

I wonder how much change this will cost. (change as in money)

I've noticed that the korean automakers were ditching the larger engines and going with turbos to make up the slack. OF course, I was told that Hyundai was buying their V6s from Mitsubishi, so I can understand if they would rather not have to buy when they could build.

My experience with rental Optimas and Sonatas tells me that they don't have the acceleration with the turbo I4s as they did with the V6s. So personally I am not a fan of the trend. There is no replacement for displacement.

I'm guessing GTR are just letters to you. Lol

OF course, Kia has been experimenting with a sports car for several years now. Honestly, I'm surprised that it has taken them this long. But again, this is another concept, so we'll see if they actually go through with it, or just keep making econo-cars.

Soon the Korean cars will be on top of the food chain.

The "but it's a Kia" comments and "no replacement for displacement" comments are kinda ignorant IMO. I may have agreed with you in 1994 ;-)

I agree to the first part but not the second.

There is no replacement for displacement.

This is why people go with bigger displacement to make bigger power. Look at some people that turbo their cars and also modified their engines to increase the displacement.

Look at some people with large displacement engines that also add forced induction.

Lol, just being a smartass.

Anyway, my argument is that I wouldn't write-off a new sports car
just because it uses a turbo-4. I imagine a BRZ-type car with FI and better appointments/quality would be a pleasure to own. :cheers:

. The GTR is the fastest production car in the world. The GTR FOR NOW, in current events. Kills the Displacement argument.
When someone else can build a faster production car. Your point will be validated once again.

Looks pretty nice to me.
