This is one of those hard things to tell just from the vid because you don't get a feel for when it was shot or if that was the final vehicle or what. Plus there's always gonna be differences between the foreign version and what we get here. This was mentioned in the vid (8 cyl. versus 6 cyl, ZF transmission, etc.). Still, so far it looks like a sleek Mercedes from a couple years ago. At least the front looks very borrowed to me. The reviewer is correct to say that this is Hyundai's *first* attempt to make a rear-wheel drive car and for the price point, you can't realistically be expecting Mercedes / Lexus class performance from $30k worth of car. Time will tell. - Thee Chicago Wolf |

We'll have to wait and see I guess. I'm curious who the guy was and what, if any, qualifications he had with reviewing the car? Since the model is not officially out, I wonder if it was like the Korean version of Car & Driver or some such similar TV show. - Thee Chicago Wolf |

No, I don't think so. Toyota is Japanese and he was speaking Korean. - Thee Chicago Wolf |
