Hyundai to launch Sonata coupe along side redesigned Sonata sedan
Nobody saw this coming, but the Korean Automaker Hyundai has a 2 Door Coupe Version of their rakish Next Generation Sonata in the works as well.
The Last Generation Sonata 2 Door Coupe was called Tiburon. As that has been discontinued, Hyundai has space for another 2 Door Coupe in its lineup. Some thoguht that 2 Door Coupe would be the Veloster. In a way it is, but that will be the Accent 3 Door. Therefore, a hole for a Larger Coupe remains.
The Front End looks like the Next Gen Sonata. The rear in a slope position hints at a CTS-Coupe, and pays homage to past Benz Coupes. Yet, this gives it an exotic Korean appearence akin to the KIA Forte Koup. This Coupe of Course Follows Hyundais new Fluidic Design Phillosophy. Engines are unknown, but dont be too surprised if Hyundai uses its 2.4L GDI engine producing 200 HP in this Coupe

Hmmm, might not be far fetched. There is (was) the Camry/Solara coupe and the Accord coupe and Altima coupe still sell. A Sonata coupe makes some sense.
I guess it would be more luxurious (oddly) that the RWD GEnesis coupe though as that car has a VERY reasonable starting MSRP.
