Thanks for the link... that link is making me like this car a whole lot more if the price tag is around $20k. My sister is looking for a new car, I think I might tell her to hold off until I can take one of these for a test drive. If its a 2010 model, when will it debut? Next summer?

I'm impressed that this car is 1" longer than an E92! If this comes in at around the $20k mark they are going to have a winner on their hands with that 2 liter turbo setup. Props to Hyundai... I'm impressed pending the price and a test drive.

I bet the only way it'll be near $20k is by going with one of the lower end models of it.
