I wanted to love it - I've been tooting Hyundai's horn since they release the 2nd last gen of the Sonata (one previous to the current) and finally, FINALLY cleaned up their act. So when Hyundai was launching a RWD coupe? I was ecstatic - maybe it was the car I could replace the IS300 with - then came the reviews, then the stories about the gear box, then I sat in one. Meh - not worth dumping the IS300 for really.

That wheel needs a diet and fast. I don't care for the styling but then again, I never bought a car based on styling.

I am really happy this comparo brought a Lotus to the fight. The fact that the Scion drew even in review 1st place with the Lotus is AMAZING. Yes, the Lotus is a 2nd hander but the fact that this car can compare is crazy!

Plus, the Lotus cannot be driven to and from the track with race tires - the drive would kill your back (I've been in one), the tires would require a second car to haul them and there are known issues with Lotus assemblies on the car as a whole. Engine wise they are fairly solid.

2zz-ge still showing love.
