If you read the press release for the 2012 Hyundai i40 sedan, you’ll find that the automakers describes it as having “purely European identity having been designed and engineered at the European R&D headquarters of Hyundai in Russelsheim, Germany.”
The styling might be there, but the image is still stuck in “Made in Korea” land, and that needs to change fast. Hyundai will soon come up with a model that back the looks up with some proper performance, as according to AutoCar a hot i40 is on the way.
“A Hyundai GTI? That’s not just a C-segment question [i30], but a D-segment [i40] one as well,” said Rushforth. “We have talked about such cars and are considering versions not only with more performance, but dynamic improvements to ride and handling, too.”
