    About time too but no doubt since Hyundai is trying to ditch its "cheap & cheerful" reputation, it'll be expensive and uneconomical.

    Apparently, the engine will be mated to an automatic transmission and should produce in excess of 200bhp.

    Since when did Hyundai start producing clones? That's almost a Lexus RX-series replica!
