I wouldn't even call that two-tone, that's mismatched bumpers and skirts.

I ran into one last night near my house. (as in saw one in front of me, not crashing into it). It definitely looks REALLY nice. I've never liked Hyundais, but this car looked unbelievable. I was trying to figure out if it's some Jag or Aston Martin, no kidding.

I'm really starting to like this car. Hope I get to see one in person soon. I'm digging this setup:

That stance looks so mean and aggressive.

I saw an orange one (or yellow?) on my commute the other day. No surprise though since the headquarter is within the area. It looks fantastic. I had to look at it a few times before heading out my own way.

if Toyota had made the tC or the Solara this attractive I'm sure sales would blow through the roof.

that is what puzzles me.

it's just sheet metal. toyota could make their cars much better looking, and people would still buy their cars.

have you guys seen the HKS Genessi coupe in Super Street magazine this month??? Its bad ***. It has some solid engine work. HKS changeg out the 4B11 turbo for something that would push the HP to some solid numbers. They also did a killer body kit, and topped it off with some nice wheeels. The 2.0 l motor that the genesis comes with is the same 4B11 motor as the evo. Its just detuned big time. I am sure wth some ECU retunig to modify boost, change to a larger down pipe , and larger intercooler and BOOM you gave a 2 door that will run like an EVO and enter and exit corners with none of the nasty understeer. I am excited to see these things tuned. Check out super street this month
