I think the IS-F has a hard time against the M3 and I believe this car will be closer to the 6-figure range which will put it squarely in GT-R and Porsche territory. Pricing will ultimately determine the fate of this vehicle.

This is a great question, but where are we getting this pricing info from? The current IS-F's MSRP is in the low to mid-60s, and a top of the line packaged model comes in at $68k. I can't see this inflating more than $10-12k model-to-model, so my uneducated guess would put this in the mid to high $70k range. If it's good around the corners and packs a solid powertrain and drivetrain, then holy hell what a deal.

Edit: I'll eat my shoe if this thing has a starting MSRP above $80k.

That's why I love this thing. It's like someone sketched out an aggressive concept, placed aggressive lines and plotted out the overall elements, then molded them into something that heavily relies on implied lines. It flows, but the connections are less forced and obvious than your typical sports coupe. I think it's a massive success, and I usually never say something like that about a (polarizing) modern car unveiling until I see one in person.

I don't see any connection to Hyundai's design language, aside from some basic trending placement of lines. The execution is entirely different.

Right!? I'm so glad that they stepped out of the carbon-copy world.
