Hyundai has a "G35-killer" coming?!
Reading through my latest issue of Motor trend [November 2006] on page 28 I read something very odd,
I haven't been able to find any pics or other info on this "G35-killer" as of yet but, I'm curious as to what you guys have to say about such news. And about Hyundai targeting our G35s!!
...Hyundai's forthcoming rear-drive coupe will target the Infiniti G35. Expected next year as a 2008 model, the coupe will be a companion to a rear-drive sport sedan expected by the 2009 model year. But while we've [Motor Trend] described the sport sedan as a 'poor man's BMW,' the 2008 coupe has been viewed as more of a G35-killer, which is to say, a competative car at a typically lower Hyundai price, it's premium powerplant will be a turbocharged V6, although the engine compartment does have room for a V-8.

This is what Hyundai plans for their 2009 "coupe". Apparently they took the 2008 Tiburon body styling and made this. The one in the pic has 4 doors, I guess they'll make a 2 door too?
