This is such a beauty....hints of benz, Mazda, and Volvo, but neither of them.

When will this come out here locally? And how much do you guys think this will be priced here?

Ganda diba?

IMHO, a lot better than Accord and Camry!

Hyundai's starting to have that same corporate look for their products. Let's see if it works out for them.

*noobskie: Yeah they actually are...and they're doing a good job at it, too...their only dilemma for now is the transition of buyers from other well-known brands into buying Hyundai Sonata or Genesis. It sure has worked well for them for their lower-end models such as the Getz, Tucson, etc. But for the higher end models going against benz, Volvo, Volkswagen, I'm not so sure yet how it will fair locally. Sonata is a nice car, but not so sure how people will welcome it locally.

Quite intriguing for me IMHO...such a nice car theoretically and in the photos, I wonder how it will be personally...hmmm...

with the current price of sonata 1.3M+ the top of the line could be between 1.5M-1.6M...size probably close to camry with its new design,new engine 2.4L for 194hp,6 speed a/t transmission huh!...sweet!!

saipeme, akala ko nagbago na agad isip mo.

IMHO, palitan mo nalang nito yung Genesis Coupe na inoorder mo. just imagine 1,588,000 lang tapos ganyan na features. same as the Tucson Premium. Plus Paddle Shifters.

kung ngayon wala pa akong Tucson, ito na oorderin ko, cheaper than the Theta II & CRDi Premium, but same features.

kung naging dual exhaust pipe lang ito tulad ng mazda 6 kumpleto na...ganda din ng mazda 6 hehehe....

From Top Gear...

This thing can cost as low as P1.378M...

The price for all the above specs and features? Let me quote my Hyundai source: "The unit we brought to the event is the top-of-the-line variant, and it costs P1.588 million."
Now, here's the interesting part. My source added: "There's another variant that will be priced at P1.378 million."
