With the road conditions in China you'd be restricted. You wouldn't get very far without bottoming out. You might even flip it with some of the holes I've seen out there. Don't forget that it'll be keyed within a week and if you don't wash it everyother day it will be filthy. Get a used jeep instead. I wouldn’t buy it Ash.

It's hideous. It's managed to pick up the worst aspects of Euro/Jap/American design and combine them in a body that looks odd (too short, odd window line and as for those headlights!!). Nice wheels though! Are you blind? It’s hideous.

The really early 1st gens from '97 onwards are thin on the ground but they are around. 2nd Generation and 3rd gen ones are more popular. Johnson,

What did u mean by the 'previous generation'? There was a few design tweaks for 2007 models i.e. the head lights and rear lights, but thats about all, nothing in terms of the drivetrain have changed. Anyhow, I hope the new RWD will actually have more grunt, i mean the current tibs have a 2.5L V6 that develops only 124KW, thats no more than a MX5, and the MX is much better of a car. Back to topic, the Brilliance Coupe looks great, although i cant help but see a tib somewhere in the design lol. If i was to buy a coupe, which i doubt since i have the Civic 07 typr R penciled in, i'd want something like that, or the new Kia Coupe from what i read up i think the RWD tibs are still some time off.

Im trying to talk the wife into letting me buy it.... so far so good. Johnson, the Tiberion starts at 200,000rmb for the previous generation model in China, although from this comment it looks like Hyundai are going to put the new tooling in Korea for the latest model Coupe and send the old tooling to China to make the coupe here, hopefully bringing it down in price: http://www.chinacartimes.com/2007/08/28/beijing-hyundai-planning-to-go-domestic/#comment-15339 I cant wait to get down to the dealer and have a look at one.
