From what I heard, it will have a high output forced induction (can't remember if it was turboed or SC'd) I4 for the base engine, 300 hp V6 for the upper level model. Depending on the price, both could conceivably compete with the base Camaros and Mustangs, and the V6 would compete with the Z car. If the V6 is the base engine, I doubt Hyundai's V8 will compete with the Camaro's V8, but it might, just might encourage Chevy to give us the 300 hp DI V6. I think this car will be more of a challenge to the current Mustang and 350Z, but when the new Camaro, Challenger, Mustang, and 370Z all come out in a couple years it might be left behind. In any case, this is definitely a car to pay attention to as a serious entrant in the affordable performance coupe market. I have to give props to Hyundai for this one.
