We have alot of Hyundai's in our company fleet. I can tell you from personal experience that the fit/finish is at Japanese standards now (actually think it's better than Toyota and on par with Honda). Their respective reliability is up. The coupe does look like it take styling cues from the G35 coupe (not a bad place to start) and like that the base engine is a 2.0L Turbo (which will be a tuners dream). The big negative for Hyundai is that they still lose more in depreciation than comparible vehicles (they still cannot shake that unreliability curse from the 80's to early 90's). However, Hyundai has had a successful business plan by offering option laden vehicles that offer more in comparison to the Japanese/US/German competitors at 80% of their cost.
