They've been making a lot of noise about this on the net, but no mention of it coming to Australia in that little snippet. At those prices think I'd rather have an i30 N.

Would be fun though!  :honk:

I don't mind it, the more aggressive rally styling I think will be welcomed, flared guards look mint :goodjob2: interior fit out seem well sorted and functional, drive train set up would make for great fun :honk:

@CraigB You might find this interesting mate!

Some of the specs mentioned are a little different to what others have mentioned, he mentions 200kw where others state 190kw so seems a bit of speculation at the moment.

It's going to be a very capable little unit though, I see he also said arrival late 2019...wont be ready till late 2020 :goodjob2:

Thanks for the review link Craig. The 2019 was obviously just a typo.
