Pretty nice, I used to have a Workingman 4004 and matching 4x10 cab but that is now with my brother. I have a Bugera BVP5500(basically poor mans svt) in a custom made head case(So exciting to build, haha) and an Avatar b212 cab. I'm thinking of picking up their new 15" 3way cab to add to it or the b210. what do you think of the 212/210 together? What basses do you play with?

As for the turbo, yes i believe they are planning on a turbo version which should be pretty sweet and still get that great mileage

I think the car is unique and looks pretty good, especially the interior. Everyone should fear this Korean company, seriously. The only thing that remains to be seen is reliablility and time will tell on that one.

I've been in love with this car since the announcement at the autoshows.

I truly think I will buy one when it comes out this summer.

i have seens this hyundai in real life. they were testing it through irvine and lake forest several weeks ago. it did not have any model badges, michigan plates (preporduction tester) and the hyundai emblem was covered but damn this car did look futuristic. it looks like the design direction hyundai will go with for future cars.

this car is ugly in the pictures.

i did a market and research survey for this car. IT LOOKS SOOOO SICK in person. i like the qualities it had inside and out.

and rumor has it they might stick the 2.0t in it. the whole time i could think was ....i wonder how this car can handle.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Veloster in the flesh. I'm neutral on the photos save that Hyundai seems to still be copying too many styling cues from other marques and that their designs tend to be rather busy/fussy for my taste. On paper at <$20k, approaching 40 mpg highway, hatchback and relatively lightweight it looks very promising. If the Veloster handles well and isn't a total torque-less wimp it should be a winner. Honda needs competition to push them back in more adventurous directions as they seem to be tracking ever closer to the Toyota "we build reliable but boring cars" business model.

Im not sure about it but i read some discussions about it. what's the difference of 208 with ordinary turbos? I already seen a european version of it but not familiar with the 208. It would be released last year and such an exciting stuff to have on hyundai....

Road&Track says that you will never lose one in a parking lot. The new VW Beetle turbo is looking real good to me.. The only Asian vehicles that seem to fit me well are Honda motor scooters and the 1987 G.T. Backwoods bicycle. I forgot about the Chinese made Vog 250cc scooter in pieces in the barn.. All kinds of bugs to work out but very comfortable. I also forgot the Forester my wife lets me drive on trips, it feels very nice to the extent that I have to use cruise control or I find myself doing 90 MPH and she doesn't even notice.

Hyundai deals

When I was trying to get the Hyundai dealer to come down on the price, he refused and wanted me to believe his claim that new cars were on the lot only 1-1/2 days. They get MSRP! Then he called me up and said that you could get $500 from Hyundai if you put $500 of your own money in your account at www.motozuma.com. It is all true. I moved money to my account and committed myself to using the account for a new hyundai, and immediately the account registered $1000. Then I went to the dealer and paid the price less what was in the Motozuma account.
I don't think any other dealer is offering that incentive.
Your friends and relatives can start funnelling their gift money to you in that account.
Sweet!
