Hyundai/Kia have no history of building good handling and driver communicable cars, so I don't really have any high hopes for this car. The Genesis coupe was a sad exercise in hopeless driver disconnect with a sloppy gear level.

One can hope this is an improvement, but Hyundai/Kia also have a history of developing overweight cars so I don't expect this to be under 4,000 lbs. And the lack of manual transmission offering is unfortunate - seems they're not targeting BMW.

That interior looks like a blantant design rip off from Mercedes Benz lol

That just means they're sportier, because everyone knows the Italians make fun cars. Not too reliable, though.

These are legendary cool names for cars that I wish were still around! The acronym soup has no soul. (given some names are JDM market)
The names are legendary because of the cars reputation. The words themselves without that legend are just sort of silly. Putting aside the fame just what does Supra mean? Is Integra really even a word?


Don't even get me started on what Laurel would stand for:
?????

And why wouldn't Silvia's mother let her come to the phone?

Yes.
That doesn't make it one! I have never seen a quasi sports car block the sun or moon but there was one named as such.
