    Is this their answer to the FX or the Murano? If so, so be it. I like. Vageuly looks like a more aero Cayenne. Must keep my eyes on this one.

    All I can say is just like people said about Japanese cars in the '70's, " Watch out big 3". Now the expression is about the Koreans, " Watch out Japan". There are some new kids on the block. People denied it in the '90's. Now they will see it in the new millenium.

    That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. I also like the RSC, but we all know Toyota will not build it. Maybe Hyundai will.

    Personally, I find this SUV to be a bit lacking in the looks department.

    But how about the new 2007 Tiburon concept? YUMMY!!!

    The specs say that this is a RWD 2+2 coupe -that's no SUV by any stretch. If it is a F/R vehicle, it looks like it's on stilts.

    Hyundai had a moderately successful rally program, complete with turbo'd AWD cars. They build big ships and cranes, so they have the know-how. They just have to beat the public's perception of what a Hyundai is -a low cost econobox.

    Their styling department has been working overtime for a few years though. Let's see if the powertrain people can deliver (for a reasonable amount of money).
    I thought that the current Tiburon was a good looking car, until I looked under the hood. It was circa 1990 under there. Very dissapointing.

    Not to be contrary, but what the heck do ships and cranes have to do with quality passenger vehicles? Granted, Hyundai is at the top of the JD Powers list, but I don't think that has anything to do with their ship and crane manufacturing.

    They have to keep working, in my opinion. They're still followers of dying trends, and have yet to define a recognizable style for themselves, besides "blah." The Tiburon is a step in the right direction.
