Crap, we've been one-upped by Hyundai! (Literally)

I think there's still some issues to be worked out with their cars, but Hyundai is only a couple years away from having a truly legitimate contender as a sports car.

I think the gen coupe could have been a serious contender. but in the end they said "lets make it appeal to a larger market" and softened it, etc.

Can't blame them, they still have a ways to go in terms of percieved image, so a true sports car may also not have been received as well.

It's not a good market for sports cars. You can look at sales for anything that's out now, particularly the new 5.0's and the Z.

You release the current 5.0 mustang in other market condition, and there would be a six month wait. The 370 was a huge improvement over the 350, and sales tanked....
