Ok, maybe. But I did not snoop around. First Pic I saw.
Hyundai Coupe hits UK
Prices announced - it's cheap, but slow
The new Hyundai coupe will be hitting the streets of the UK shortly and although it's not to everyone's tastes it's got to be the best looking car from Hyundai that we've seen.
It will no doubt be a hit with style concious car buyers but the low prices hint at the poor performance of the car. The 1.6 S is available from £14,499; the 2.0 SE at £16,499 and the flagship 2.7 V6 at £18,499.
You'll be drawing a pension by the time the car reaches 60
The 1.6 S can only haul the car to a top speed of 115 mph and you'll need a haircut before it reaches 62mph a lengthy 11.6 seconds after setting off.
The 2.0 SE is a little better with its 136 bhp taking your to a top speed of 128 mph. It reaches 62 mph in a tardy 9.2 seconds. The 2.7 V6 engine makes its first appearance in the Coupe but only manages a paltry 165 bhp giving a top speed of 136mph. 62mph can be reached in 8.2 seconds.
The 2.0 will be offered with the Porsche-designed semi-automatic H-tronic gearbox for the first time, while the 2.7 V6 will be available with either H-tronic or six-speed manual gearbox.
It's a shame the car hasn't been better endowed or perhaps we're just the wrong people to talk to about economy and value for money...
