Looks like Hyundai is entering the "pocket rocket"

Like the title says...not sure what to think, but it will probably be cheap at least. There are more pics too if you click the link in the article.

EDIT: Here is the link to the pics too. After lookin at a glimpse of the specs, it would be a great DD. It has a Turbo 2L.

Its pretty cool that they are gonna be putting a 2.0L turbo in it though. If you can get those well optioned for under $20k, that may be a great DD.

Yea I guess you could put the tiburon in that category, but I was more referring to stuff like the Si, Type R's and stuff like that since its an accent R.
