I'm with you man, I just can't get into it. It's got a great side profile, but the front and back views are terrible. Of course that's just my opinion, I drive an X and it's very polarizing too.

I've seen and sat in the car in person at the Detroit Auto Show. I thought it would look better than it did in person. The side profile is nice, but the front end looks like its got a cleft palate. The rear end looks very generic. Personally, from an exterior as aesthetic standpoint, I thought the Tiburon looked better.

The interior was typical Hyundai. It feels so very cheap inside. Cheap to the point where I don't know if I could deal with it...and i've got an Evo IX! Seriously, it makes the Evo X's interior look like a Bentley's. Just imagine the same monogomous crap black hard plastic texture EVERYWHERE. There should be warning label reading, "CAUTION: Keep looking straight through windshield and avoid periferals as sight of monotonously, bland-***, cheapo interior may induce nautia."

I have a feeling it will have mediocre handling - it is a Hyundai after all. The straight-line acceleration, while great for a Hyundai, will be short of competitors. Its a good package for 26k brand new (i.e. WAY better than a Ralliart), but I'd save for a X or a 370Z before I'd consider the V6 version. The 4B11 version seems to make more sense if you can tune it - well, WHEN it has been tuned.
