Hyundai Geneva concept

02/16/2007, 2:19 PM

By admin

Hyundai will unveil crossover concept at its press conference at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Using advanced materials from its co-operation partner GE Plastics, Hyundai’s European designers have developed an SUV that is environmentally friendly and also offers outstanding results in computer-animated pedestrian safety tests. The company has released a single teaser sketch.

Interesting idea for the front end leading into the profile.

it looks like a shortened infiniti fx. but that’s not really a problem, because I really like those. I bet it won’t sound as good as an fx though.

Sketch is great, but there’s no way they’d build anything that looked exactly like htat.

Hyundai seems to have impressive concepts, but they rarely translate into real world production vehicles. I like what I see here, but doubt that it would appear anywhere near as aggressive when it finally hits the streets.

looks weird, why would you want a window for your feet? Whatever happened to the HCD-8?

I like the design. I think Hyundai is getting better and better with their design. But they need to fucus on cars and not 12 variations of wannabe SUV’s.

Hyundai obviously doesn’t understand the word “CROSSOVER”. For those who don’t know, and hyundai should listen up instead of using the crossover market to present something.
A “CROSSOVER” is basically an SUV on a car or uniboby plateform. SOmething with the interior capability of an SUV with car like handling.
So, all I have the say is WTF is this???? It ain’t a crossover.

Sketch is fine, but the vehicle will be as appealing as the Tiburon.

Thanks Mujician, very kind of you to share your knowledge with the ignorant, I am glad that we have an authority such as yourself to help us.

I know manufacturers show these fantastic sketches in the hope that we will associate it with the much more boring product that they end up building, but it seems to me that the practice actually results in disappointment, when we see the result and think what could have been.

Nice dream though…

One thing that worries me is that with that window running down thru the door people might see me scratching my nuts when I drive.

Since when were 2-door sub-compacts called “crossovers”? Also, this is one of the most hideous sketches I’ve seen in a look time. Different for the sake of being different, not for innovation.

is this about cars or us “dumb americans”. last i checked renault was still in business, hyundai is waaaaaaaay better than them. and i dont think hyundai solely exhists because americans are dumb. i see more people attacking us average americans in this site 10 to 1 over some dumbass hick who hates imports. do you guys want to talk cars or your strange hatred for us average americans, its fine if you dont like our government, but when we get called dumb by everybody who joins in its just shows that us average americans know about tolerance, something all of you foreigners(except canadians) dont know anything about.

Hey CTS Driver I AM AN AMERICAN! Excuse my personal frustration with my fellow Americans that will buy anything except a domestic.

I’m American, and I actually think it’s hularious (forgive my spelling) how we back someone we know cannot do the job and then complain that he is wrecking our well everything. What can I say were americans, LOL. I just hope we learn our lessons and get it together.

Every stop to think the “M” stands for something domestic ironpony42? KIA builds contenders??? Are you F#@KING kidding me? I don’t care if it came with a 100 year warranty I wouldn’t buy it.

Yo DialM4speed, quit your cryin and get yo hood on and attend your Klan meetin and shut yo redneck up! This is the 21st century and if you didn’t get the memo, domestic doesn’t mean foreign companies can’t build in the US and provide jobs and “quality” vehicles. Don’t be such a ignorant red blooded American and learn to accept change. In other words, the imports are coming and you don’t have paul revere driving an American pony anymore. He’s smart and bought an import like a Hyundai. “DUH!”
