Sweet!!! Hyundai pulls a fast one on us and Brings out a Sonata 2 Door Coupe!!!

Kind of like the CTS in the back, but better.
I think Hyundai will do great with the new Sonatas.

There is no plan for a 2-door Sonata Coupe. The photo shown in the article is photoshop-generated picture made by one of the car fans in Korea. There are still plans for Veloster becoming the next Tiburon (Tuscani) as a FF sporty car.

Wow, in that pic, the Sonata wins ugliest front grill award!!!
It looks like a car Marvel comics would use in a Batman movie.

I dunno Hyundaismoke, I originally looked at the Tiburon because it was a small sporty car. This thing looks like a bloated E-class coupe.

Don't really like it but guess it would give Hyundai shoppers more choices.

Honestly.... The car looks great less the front end. The rear is fantastic.

Hyundaismoke, the NSX has a weak engine for a reason. Japan limited the maximum power output of all their cars. The reason why skylines all these other jdm cars are popular to modify is because the manufacturers overbuilt these engines for the amount of power they put out, making it very easy safe and cheap to get more power out of them. To say the genesis is on par with a decade old NSX just because of the power rating is silly, on a road course the NSX will annihilate the genesis due to the genesis less then optimal size/weight/distribution/suspension characteristics.

That's simply amazing, nobody else has ever done anything like this. Korea shows us again why they're the industry leaders just like their German brothers and sisters.

Car of the Year right there folks.

Hyundaismoke,
How can they be bread and butter when they lose money on each car sold? Remember, Sonata is built in N.America. They make a little more than $800USD a month, unless Hyundai imports cheap labour from Korea.

The Genesis coupe doesn't sell well, the Tiburon coupe didn't sell well, what makes anybody think a BMW rear-ending a Cadillac which rear ended a Camry Solara will sell any better?

Probably already has 0% financing on it.

Those wonderful Chinese cars will bankrupt the Republic of Korea. Just remember that. Hyundai customers want the lowest price, whether its from Korea or China. China also has the power to stop Hyundai from entering China. What can Korea do to retaliate? Nothing.

That's a laugh, hi-tech from Korea? Maybe after Japan shows little sister how its done then they can copy it.

By releasing history's first ever 2-door coupe, I think Hyundai deserves the Nobel peace prize.
