Fuck, I want a Hyundai...
 

Just when I think I'm in the clear of ever buying a new car...

Seats 5, I4 Turbo-diesel with 300 ft-lbs of torque, looks like it's smaller than a full sized sedan, toss in a manual and a towing package with enough beef to haul a racecar to the track and/or a small boat and I'm sold.

Maybe I won't be hanging on to my POS Nissan until I die...

...and AWD option!

Actually AWD standard!

oops, AWD is an option FWD standard:

Don't know anything about Hyundai's HTRAC system but that's the plan for the concept:

If starting under $26k, yes.

If starting at $30k, pass.

right here

Absolutely correct, budget will make or break this thing, based on their goals (turbodiesel 4, AWD, utility/comfort/affordability) I'll be surprised if they can nail <$26k, but if they can it will undoubtedly be a success.

IMO if I can walk out the door for <$30k I will definitely give it serious consideration, this is the only compact truck I can see on the horizon, like the Toyobaru without support it will be many years before we see another.

Not a Hyundai fan, but that looks pretty cool...reminds me of a Subaru BRAT.

I'd seriously consider it assuming under $30K OTD, it's exactly what I've been looking for in a DD.

why does anybody think this would be under 26k?

I'm surprised so many people here like it. It reminds me of the subaru baja and I remember a car reviewer describing that as a good vehicle for people who haul things like palm trees one at a time.

I guess it's just not my cup of tea. When I need a truck, I want a truck. Which I guess is why I have a Silverado 3500HD.

Really, that thing is UBER gay, seriously like a El Camino humped a Subaru Forester or something??? :barf:

The better the concept the bigger the letdown

Well I wouldn't own it if I won it, immediate sell for cash. That is all....

I like it haha. But didn't ford say they gonna reintroduce Ranger in US? If they start the small truck segment again, I doubt this thing will see the light...
