When is hyundai getting an all wheel drive evo/sti competitor?
Also, a useable offroad vehicle would be nice (think jeep/suzuki)

Oh. And a pickup truck.

from what I've been told the Genesis Sedan might be getting AWD in the near future.. however, because of the way Hyundai modified the platform for the GC, adding AWD will be hard to say the least because of wheel location.

I don't think you'll see a pickup truck from Hyundai.. and if so.. think Ford Ranger meets Chevy S10. There are pretty hefty taxes on trucks in the asian market, and ever worse so in Euro markets.

hyundai had a truck in the works....but they squashed it. between gas prices and their new direction....

Good thing they killed it too. Hyundai and large vehicles is not a good match. Thankfully we avoided another Entourage type epic failure. Ughhh even saying the name Entourage makes me shiver with interior rattles.

hahah and electronic door modules what a pita...but atleast the chain tensioners were easier! ....although the veracruz didnt have much with it...its a pretty solid vehicle.

OMG YES! Sliding door modules FTL! Yes on the Tchain tensioners, much easier than those stupid azeras and sonatas.
