Hyundai Cuts Over £5,000 of Coupe's Prices

No joke here, at least as much as we can tell. Hyundai will cut UK's Coupe prices by no less than £5,035, making the 2.0l version of the car cost £12,995 on the road which is, according to Hyundai's calculus, some £2,600 less than the first generation of the car launched in 1996.

And this is not the end. Hyundai offers, as if this wasn't enough, a £5,220 discount from the top of the range TSIII's base price, bringing it down to £14,295. For that, you get anthracite-finish alloys, quad exhaust tailpipes, a larger boot spoiler, quilted leather sports seats and Eibach sport springs.

The 2.0l Coupe we mentioned in the beginning comes, for £12,995, equipped with leather upholstery, climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, twin exhausts, cruise control and heated front seats.

Got your attention yet? Wait, there's more... The discounts announced by Hyundai do not include the "government’s £1,000 allowance." Get it? "£1,000 allowance"? That means only one thing.

The UK scrappage scheme, as you know, offers a 2,000 pounds bonus when you buy a new car and trade in a new one. That amount is equally split between the government and the manufacturer. As you can see in Hyundai's case, their share is already included in the discounts they announced.

Yet, adding and deducting all there is to add and deduct, we are left with the following: if you own a piece of junk vehicle, you want to trade it in and get a Hyundai Coupe with some 6,000 pounds off. If you don't own a piece of junk car, worst case scenario, you get 4,000 pounds off.

So, is it worth it?

Save us a couple, Hyundai, we're coming...
