Rep Power: 364 it's "porsche"
oh... nice car though. It's refreshing to see an exotic looking car that doesn't say the manufacturer's name every two inches. What's the price? I can't find it.

Rep Power: 0 Looks really nice. Similar to an NSX from the front, and a ferrari from the rear (although the tail lights look porschey). All in all, very nice, no doubt expensive too.

Looks ok. Needs to be a different color though. Performance isn't bad, performance is what I would expect from looking at it.

Rep Power: 0 Well, I don't know why everyone is even remotely concerned with quality.
Korean cars are 100 times more reliable than Italian cars... yet rich bastards gobble up Ferraris like crazy.
You buy it for speed, style & status... not for reliability. Hey, get a Honda Civic for that.

Rep Power: 0 I'm sure if you compare that Korean car to a Ferrari, the Ferrari performs better. Don't think that's a good argument to make.
That car is hideously ugly. The lines are just so unsettling. Would not be caught dead in that car.

its a decent looking car, but no way can you make the claim that Korea is catching up to the likes of ferrari or lambo or any other italian exotic. those exotics are in a class of their own, and no car that uses a ford motor as its powerplant vs an inhouse one can compete with the italians. just MO tho.
you can say its competing with the NSX or the vette or some of the other "lower end" exotics pretty well tho. if i was in the market for an NSX id look at this car also.

Rep Power: 0 the only reason why some korean cars look nice is because they copy the best import jap cars.. for instance- the new tiburon -has the same lights as the supra but not even half the performance, and the elantra copyin the skyline lights.. and domestics too.. monte carlo and skyline rear lights....
and it seems to me that both korean and japanese automakers are copying the germans. especially toyota with the lexus brand.
