Yap great link. Interesting..first sporty wagon, than sedan. Wouldn't expect that but considering the fact, how many wagons there are on our roads, it's more understandable. Can't wait to see new Hyundai's model  :wink:

These are the concept pictures of the wagon than?

I know the topic is about the engines, but anyway had to post some pics. 1.6 liter engine with 115 hp? I think that one could be a bit weak for i40, though some competitors have engines with the same power..

Nice 8)

The wagon is nice (to my eyes..) a quite cohesive blend of an i30 and something like a Mazda CX7  :razz:

Thanks for the pix accim..

I was going to say the same thing Dazz, maybe with a bit of Mazda 6 in it aswell.

The sedan looks good but looks more like a falcamrydore 6 to me.

OOh ... Just me, or is that VERY Cruze -like ??

Some of those pics look very loooooong in the rear seat area.  I wonder if some of them are Genesis or Equus?

I agree - wagon looks good, except for the kooky-looking area around the rear hatch where it connects to the car, C or D pillar?

It looks kind of like a stretched Mazada 3/6. Not totally a fan unfortunately. :(

The wagon looks great, not sure how practical it'd be in terms of room in the rear, but I'm sure they'd tone it down a bit before they release it.

Sonata/i40 has an attractive shape to my eyes, I hope the details under the disguises are as good! Better start saving some pennies...  :wink:
