Probably Hyundai for me lol saw the new tC in person today for the first time..just...*sigh*....

I drove the Hyundai as well and I can't say that I was impressed. The 2nd gen has better gear ratios.

Did you guys know the new tC only comes with one reverse light installed? It's a blank inside the opposite one! HAHAHAHAHAHHA! Cost cutting to the MAX!

It was once cool when cars like the Mini had ONE CENTER reverse bulb (though I think it's rather dangerous still), and some Euro/Asian market cars have one reverse light and a rear fog light in the other side, but ONLY one reverse bulb and no rear fog light? I wonder if they only put headrests in the driver's seat? Or maybe they skipped out on left speakers in the car?

total garbage guys....just saw it at the state fair car show.
I walked up to it and im not going to lie the front end grew on me a little. Then i closed the trunk and bleh!! The rear quarter glass reminds me of a charger for some reason as well...then the interior wtf? The crappiest part has to be where the mirror controls are...they pop out at u then under them there is nothing but straight plastic!! put a cup holder in there or some kind of compartment but no there is nothing!! To top it off everyone one was checking it out and saying how cool it was!!

which hyundai? the genesis coupe?

as far as the tc2 though I really can't get passed that interior..IMO it's god awful. The exterior doesn't bother me that much but god that interior sucks.

Yea im there too. Mine is coming in 3 months. I will end up keeping the tC for at least another year for sure to save up some cash as i know babies aint cheap. But My other thing is also i want something i can take to auto-x sessions. So maybe a 4dr SI or a wrx. I really want an Evo but they are so pricey. I would have to go used which honestly i wouldnt mind doing.

Ft-86 probably will never come out and the money you spend on a Genesis coupe, you can buy a used STI/Evo. I feel like Mitsubishi is a dying brand. All they got going for them is the Evo and flat screen tVs lulz...
