OMG its a Hyundai that actually looks halfway decent!!!! :D
I actually seem to like it, it looks a little like a mini Ferrari 456 GT.

And a V-6, damnit its making the Prelude look bad.!!!!

Aside from its harsh look… Maybe it is pretty fast. Price is what really matters though. However I can see more on the streets after this one.

It's got a ton of looks from other cars like:

1. The 6th gen Celica
2. The side duct thingies from the F356 (Or is it the 365?)
3. Dual exhaust pipes, what are they tryin to do here?
4. ALMOST similar side mirrors to that of the MKIVs
5. And the interior.......... Looks.................... :rolleyes:



I'm thinking that price would be increased in compliment to the engine specs.............

The silver one looks DECENT................

Ya :) Na I'm just mad at Honda that they never gave the Prelude what is deserved, Ex: V6, RWD, Six Speed, Leather, and so on.
Although I still love the Prelude and still want one, its one of my top ten favorite cars. Its right in front of my Silvia, by just a tad :)

It's more mature, especially from the rear 3/4. The last one was like a five year olds toy.

The Prelude Type SH did come with leather and as an option on the other models, ahahahah which was just the base model.......

I don't need leather tho....... Our cloth buckets are plenty good and comfy..........................

V6 huh? Well with the current factory setup rite now, the Prelude is already pretty weighty...........

Oh well, I don't plan on keeping mine for more than like 3-4 years and after that, hopefully the Lancer EVO VII GSR will be here in the states by then............... ooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrr I'll just keep searchin for that ONE MKIVTT :D

with only 180 hp and 156 lb ft torque it still wont have shit on a Lude... Unless they make it light weight, give it a worthy tranny and a great suspention set up(highly unlikely considering that its a Hyundai. Very descent looking for a Hyundi though they seen to be on the up swing. Should be a very descent car...

Seems more like competition for the Grand AM GT and the Cougar than the Prelude. Not enough sport.
