Overview

How has Hyundai made the medium-coupe concept work in the UK, when Ford, Fiat and Peugeot have all made excellent cars without sales success?
Simple. Make it look like a Ferrari, give it a decent level of kit and sell it at a price people can afford. It was the first Hyundai with pose factor.
