"the power to weight ratio will be impressive". Translation... It's won't be as painfully slow as our previous offerings and will go head to head with a Scion TC sc.

I didn't know the current car was old, Is 24 months really long in the tooth now?

That's not what the car will look like, that's just Winding Road's wishful thinking.

More to the point, that would give Lazy-H exaclty ONE RWD car, how does that at all shame Ford which has 2? Ok, I'll give ya the CV being ancient, but I still don't see how one RWD V6 coupe (targeting Nissan) is a smack against Ford's RWD offering. If they do cram a V8 in this thing, or come out with a RWD coupe, things will get interesting. But I'd bet on seeing a NA Falcon or Galaxy/Interceptor before then.

Too funny. Still it's a shame but I really felt it was odd for a Hyundai to be getting a V8.

They say its not going to look like an Audi, but more like the concept, which is a Mitsu/Mazda love child.
