I have to say... I am actually impressed by Hun's effort here.

I have heard from several sources that this could be the next Tiburon. It would make sense too...

The real question is the rear suspension... if they offer a 300hp V6 coupe with IRS then they will definitely attract a bunch of folks away from the Mustang. Also, for the money their asking, they are going to get a bunch of kids who can't afford a 350Z. My younger brother (who is _just_ old enough to drive) has been talking about a Tiburon (old version) for a while because they are so cheap... He'd likely buy one of these if he could afford it!

It's not going to attract the 'true enthusiast' for a while, since they don't have a reputation yet for building a sports car... but it won't take long. They are building quality product that is approaching global standards... AND they have a bullit proof warranty.

All in all I'd say its a credible contender at the low end of the market... I wouldn't mind seeing that in my rear view. :-)
