If this is priced around 25k, this car will OWN the market. I am SHOCKED at how this car looks. And with Hyandai's quality improving, we have a winner!

This car looks fabulous. I don't know about Hyundai's quality recently, but they can really hit it big time with this car. It'll bring potential MRS and Miata buyers into looking at it. Maybe even Solara convertible people.

If it's built buy Toyota then even better

Toyota really misses this opportunity by not offering a lower-end version of the SC430. After all, not everyone who'd like to enjoy top-down fun needs or can afford all that luxury and power offered by the SC430.

This Hyundai is looking real good to me.

The car looks nice, but what's up with this guy? He looks like they just defrosted him a la Austin Powers but from the 70's instead of the 60's.

Once you get that car to 80mph it will defy time continuum.
