Nope, not seeing it. Hyundai should stick to copying their competitors' design styles.

It looks Japanesy all around except for those weird European-looking drooping side windows. Still, not bad. Price and specs are lookin great.

Looks nice...much better than the current gen.

This is what the current gen Eclipse should have looked like.

Well, being the smart company that they are.....I give them credit for moving away from doing such things.

But the answer is easy, don't like it....don't buy it.

Car looks pretty good. I hope you can get one loaded to the "gills" for 32k.

Bonus points for Hyundai if they dont actually call it a Tiburon. This car is different enough to deserve a new name. (A less cheesy one please.)

Those "new" pictures were supposedly taken back in June during a focus group.

Click the link and look at all the photos and it starts to make more sense:

They might bring over the "Tuscani" name....and the badge to go with it would be a smart move.

FINALLY! A production version that doesn't stray too far from the concept drawing.

First impressions: This thing looks great...I can almost see some DB9 in the rear half of the car. Easily looks better than the G37.

Hmm. I like it.

Definitely on my list of next cars.

And to the person who says that this concept car is most likely not a production model... er... they've been road testing this model for the past 4-5 months or so... not to mention the design of this model is rather "safe" when compared to other Hyundai concepts.

Although minor details are likely to change, I think that Hyundai is going to release the BH Coupe in almost the same form as we see in the unveiled pictures (similar to how they're releasing the production Genesis in the same form as the concept Genesis)

Looks like my next car will be a Hyundai if I don't snag a GTO first. I love it.

Hyundai has been making some great cars lately. That stigma will be gone real soon, especially if this car performs well

HYUNDAI UNVEILS REAR-WHEEL DRIVE CONCEPT GENESIS COUPE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14, 2007 – Hyundai unveiled its highly anticipated Concept Genesis Coupe during a press conference at the Los Angeles International Auto Show today. The concept car heralds the introduction of an all-new, rear-wheel drive 2 + 2 sports coupe scheduled to join the Hyundai lineup in the spring of 2009. Following the introduction earlier this year of the Concept Genesis sedan, Concept Genesis Coupe signals Hyundai's second step in broadening its appeal to driving enthusiasts.

The Sonic Orange concept is complemented by a Ballistic Black carbon fiber hood, roof and ground effects for reduced weight. Strong hints of the production version are highlighted in its "Z" bodylines and powerful curves. When the production sports coupe arrives, it likely will be the most affordable 300+ horsepower car on the market, and the most dynamic performance car yet from Hyundai.
