They are both great looking cars.

Ours should be going into prod next month maybe

That’s the point. Too many people diss the Ioniq because it’s Korean. But it’s probably better built than any Lancia ever was

There's no doubt it'll be better built but they are in no way similar in looks which was the point.

I know we can have different opinions, but you do have eyes, don't you?

It's absolutely similar to the Lancia. Yes it's bigger, but I hope Hyundai shrink this by 20% and call it an Ioniq 4.

Well they’re similar in that they have doors and wheels Anyway, I’m clearly in a minority and it doesn’t really matter so I’ll not mention it ever again

I like the idea of a shrunken Ioniq 4 version though, get rid of the side slash, add some arch flare and fit an adjustable rear spoiler and it might be a winner. Just don’t add in the Italian electrics please.

Only way to tell would be for someone to have their Ioniq wrapped in Martini livery...

Not a full on replica livery, but it's got the stripes

I know I’m wrong to like that, but life’s too short to be ashamed of admitting it!

Have to say that really does work!

Why is it unfortunate

[NorthDave]

That does look ace!!

I really want one of these but was quoted a year lead time from Hyundai. Does anyone know of any sources for picking one up now? Preferably new or ex-demonstrator I guess. The better the spec the better.

Have not looked on Autotrader? Quite a few on there.

I must admit I probably havent! I generally only look on PH and there wasn't any. Thanks! I'll take a look

Look at an Alfa SZ then the ioniq and report back.

I’m very very close to buying one of these. Stunning looking things. I’d love to hear from any owners.

If/when the N appears with a lower stance, more aggressive bumpers and, potentially, wider arches, it will look even more delta’esque. Which IMHO is no bad thing!

Can I ask where you got your Project 45 from? I take it was used?

Used from a private seller.

But in the end I didn’t buy it, he agreed the sale shook hands on it. Then reneged, and sold to a dealer who asked me for another £4K. I told him to f off and bought an Alfa instead.

That's a shame! Don't blame you though!
