The Coastal Table
this is a very large car for what we expect
at the auto show, it is longer than a 350Z and more G35 like
rear drive is good, but hyundai and the knock-off-ness is always going to be a cheap brand and cheap poor products...i am a bad gauge of this as i have nothing but disdain for the company and their stuff and staff. I did a stint there for a year or so, and i see how poorly engineered and serviced and developed all there stuff is as a Hyundai
(everything is developed well independently engine/trans/ etc.. but put together is epic fail- hyundai buys tech and stuff from other suppliers and there is no cross engineering to make things work as well as say BMW, Mercedes BEnz, Toyota/NipponDenso/Aisin, Nissan Renault/Calsonic... these companies have everything in house and over all make better quality stuff)
this is not meant to be a Coupe/tiburon replacement is the official company line
but the fwd coupe is not available anymore as a new model when this comes out- or phases out the FWD coupe...
the Diff and rear axles are source from some german company i think it is ZF
so this is good.
the V6 autotrans is Aisin, the manual trans has not been made public-available to the US yet- as to its sourcing...for the turbo-4 or the V6
