Has anyone seen their newest luxury car? I ran by a dealership a few weeks ago and saw one. Base model V6 makes 290hp, they are soon releasing a 370-390hp V8(Na)

The real interesting car though, is their genesis coupe. Which may come with the same engines:

Their last generation of tiburon weighed under 3000lbs, if they could pull that off with this coupe, they'd have one fast F'n car. Their base model would be faster then many of the mid 90s to early 2000s cars.

The luxury car is also rwd. They build it to take on the bmw 7series for half the price.

Hyundai has come a long way since the crap they made in the last 80's early 90's. I never thought I would ever own one, but in 2002 I bought a brand new Hyundai Sonata. Almost 85k miles later, I have had zero problems with it. I am even considering trading it in for a 2009 Hyundai Sonata.

I've seen some pretty damn slow vettes just last saturday.

Z06 is a vette...just with a big engine, different wheels, and too high of an asking price(new ones)

12.5 is pretty quick for most streetable vehicles. just last saturday there was a friggin GT500 that was consistantly running mid 13s. :jester:
