Not even mentioning the fact that Hyundai hasn't quite nailed the dynamics of a fun car as mentioned before.
Yea but hyundai can always bring in Lotus to figure that out. There is no need for it to be that heavy if they try to keep it reasonably lightweight.

I think Lotus was right in not making the area above the engine available for storage on their cars (though they should have opened up the frunk for storage instead of their crap radiator ducting).

Not really worried about the powertrain, that can be modified.
who needs sound deadening, just make the engine sound awesome. I hate coupes, i wish the twins were hatches. And if they try they can make it lightweight, it does not need to be as big as the twins, just big enough.
