Hyundai CCS in the Flesh

Not so pretty side on

---

Last week we saw some teaser shots of Hyundai’s new Coupe model and here it is in the flesh. The teasers were innoffensive enough but this side on view will no doubt prove less pleasing to the PH audience - harsh critics at the best of times!

Designed in South Korea, the electronically folding roof has been added by European design house Karmann.

seems to be a cross between (from rear to front) an MGF, SLK and an MR2. How's it priced?

I don't think it's that bad, although the photo appears to distort the shape slightly. (Fisheye lens, anyone?)

Could be a lot worse. Looks long and low to me, although the rear deck could be a little high.

hope they build it. If hyundai can get away with a hardtop convertible, it'll become mandatory for everyone else. "hyundai can sell me a hardtop convertible, why not BMW?"...etc
