Awesome! Accelerates, brakes and corners better than the 'Ultimate Driving Machine' 550i! For 20K fewer dollars (or better depending upon options). I mean, is that awesome or what? Nothing against BMW - they make a wonderful car - but good job Hyundai!

Cheers,

I'll bet Car&Driver or Road&Track sheds a couple of ticks off that time.

yeah, i agree. however after reading that crap it really gets my wheels turning lol.. if i get the chance to drive one and have my car at the dealer i may end up with one. i better make sure i find another hobby real quick.. Hopefully winter will get here before i have the chance, car bug usually goes away when it gets cold out lol.. 13.3 @107?? that is hauling A$$....

Overall a pretty positive review, but one thing is puzzling. From the pictures attached to the M/T article, it appears that the drivers seat doesn't have the cooling feature. Can anyone verify that the car does in fact have a cooled drivers seat? It would be a shame to see this feature disappear. I suspect that most of us would rather see a cooled passenger seat too, not lose the feature on the drivers side.

I'm sure the feature is there but it doesn't show up in the photo's.

Yes, confirmed that it does have a cooled / heated drivers side seat just like all the previous model years. Front passenger seat is heated only, now including the two rear passenger seats (new for 2012).
