Hyundai HCD7

Is this the future for executive cars or a just an oversized, front wheel drive, designer's wet dream?

I like it, but dynamically, I'm not going to be the first to point out the probs associated with aircraft-inspired shapes (which are generally lift-prone, duh), and a front wheel drive layout hooked up to a large v8.

yeah, I thought it looked like it was going to take off the moment I saw it. Not a good thing.

Don't see the FWD being a problem, with TC, and a heavy engine over the wheels it should behave itself. Well, if it doesn't - it's just another car that you guys will be able to beat away from the grid....
