the first post has the dvd player labeled as a Lexicon, but the others dont. could a car under $30k have a lexicon sound system? that would be nice.

WOW that PS'd car looks SICK...

V8 360HP, RWD, 6sp auto, NAV, intelligent cruise control, heated/cooled seats, LEXICON audio system (same one from Maybach!)... for under $35k???

This company has come a LONG ass way in 20 yrs.. the same company that brought us the disposable Excel. Goodjob Hyundai!

Now I don't think this car will drive anything close to the German sedans, but it'll have ultra plush, quiet, Lexus-like ride.

BTW I think that Bentley knockoff emblem is for the korean market only, US-spec ones won't have 'em

I think this is more of a Lexus-killer than anything else. I don't think it'll be sporty but it's powerful, luxurious, and big enough to challenge some very serious players.

Seeing it in person will really tell how good it is, though.

Seriously tho, the dash's center info system high resembles audi's, except it's in blue.

I looked through the entire site, and the Lexicon audio system is an option a la Mark Levison etc..

There will be choices for a dvd changer vs cd changer.

That is assuming they outfit this the same way as they do in Korea.

Korean models always are pretty pimped out, lets hope we don't lose anything in the translation. If this thing is priced right and drives right we could have a real winner on our hands. I'd rock one. From the looks of the website the rear has power seats and seat heaters as well.

Air suspension, air purifier/ionizer, auto defogging of the windshield is a nice touch. Should also have a backup cam with navi.
