You guys are miising the point, it is not an accordian in the back, they are bellows for forced air induction : well, it works in furnaces doesn't it?

....may be designed by kiddies but they grow up fast over there. Wont take long and the next model will be driving around Oz. The money and resources in China are unbleleivalbe and it doesnt take them long to get things right! Toyota, Mazda and the rest of them are a pin point in comparison.

And spank me stupid.....the AU wasnt as bad as some other crap out there.

I think that accordian is the Air Pump to keep the Coal-Fired Engine going.

Is this where all our Iron Ore is going?? :-s

Thumbs down

It looks like a automotive version of an obese 300kg man or woman with a saggy **** and tits. The Previous Hyundai Coupe looked terrible and this "thing" wouldn't look out of place in the topgear.com Garbage section.

Even Chris Bangle's name doesn't deserve to be brought into this discussion!

Absolutely awful. I thought SsanYongs were ugly, but this takes ugly to a new level.
