Guys, guys. On a kart track you're within walking distance when things go wrong. It's also probably easier to convince someone to let you drive on a kart track in the middle of winter than on a race track. And cheaper, and you can load the chassis at low speeds. Break it on a kart track first, then a race track!
@powermatic: I'd like those plates better on a blue hoopty minivan.
Drove one of these in Belgrade and you know what? You can't argue that it doesn't provide transportation.
@FormerlyTheGreatestDriver: "LICKOUR"
@carcrazy73: you know that the numbers and letters could have different fonts, right?
The exhaust will melt the tires.
@WestMcLaren: ahahahahha nice!
@jdk2011: Do they share the same suspension, chassis, exterior dimenions, and other stuff that Lotus is famous for? How about the awesome Lotus engine that's in the Elise?
Ugh--Elon Musk will never win me over.
@John Krafcik: What about dealer-sponsored manual transmission lessons? People just don't know how, but I find they get a kick out of it once they do ;). Then again, I have done ZERO market research on this ;)
@John Krafcik: I also appreciate the manual option. Gives me something to do on the tame roads around here. Otherwise I feel like the car doesn't need me at all. Same reason I like mechanical watches. I'm part of the equation.
@nick2ny: I would also like to see dealers offer extra snow tires on steel wheels as an option in northern climates (and maybe snow training). I think people have a huge fear of rear wheel drive cars because they use the wrong tires, and enthusiasts suffer as manufacturers move toward front wheel drive cars.
Dear Mr. Krafcik,
I just wanted to say that I am a huge fan of the Genesis Coupe. Hyundai ran an ad in Times Square with Rhys Millen sliding a Coupe around a track, and it was such a great contrast to the boring, gentlemanly ads for other sporting cars. I applaud your efforts to make an affordable, sporty, rear wheel drive car. The world needs spunky, adventurous car companies.
Also, I am a huge proponent of simple interiors, headlights that are inexpensive to replace, reasonably sized wheels, mechanical limited slip diffs, etc. I would love to see Hyundai's stay as simple as possible, with lovely baritone horns, big windows that make the cars easy to reverse, and quality windshield glass that distorts the view as little as possible.
I have yet to ride in a Hyundai but I already love the company.
Best,
Nick G

@Baby Benz make that needs a '96 Fleetwood Brougham to keep it company: I"m 28 and have given up on trying to make mine go faster. I'd like to change the ignition timing one day, but thats as far as I'll go.
@pauljones: I'm on team pauljones here. I can imagine a family member reading through the comments and laughing through tears, and appreciating a joke. Jokes about death aren't always in poor taste. RIP Mr. Gosinski.
Pimp my ride made you broke?
No, Pimp my ride paid you 500k a year!

@rawtoast: I am 6'4" and can fit *easily* in a mini. Even in an original mini. That extra inch makes a huge difference?
@Bubs: Maybe for the boss's birthday.
@Canuck Chinaman: Wasn't sure what was going on in this picture until I saw that big sticker.
