Had a small moment of excitement today. Was driving across town this morning minding my own business when i saw it from a distance.
It caught my eye because it was very obviously Hyundai style but it wasn't quite right. At first i dismissed it as an AD Elantra until it got closer and i saw it was a hatch, checked the grill badge and was 100% Crooked H.
I got just a wee bit excited, had goosebumps and all. Had to call my mate (Hyundai Tech with me) as soon as i got to my destination to tell him about it. If i didn't have the family and somewhere to be i would have spun around and followed till he stopped.

It was Platinum Silver with no camouflage at all. Im guessing its the same vehicle that was spotted in September in camo doing SatNav calibration work. Just like one in picture.

No dash cam, im too poor for that. But it was quite the stunner. First impressions very good.

Can understand your excitement Tim!!

To me they look a bit like the Mazda CX3, my Nephews Wife got a Red CX3 6 months ago very nice looking little car.
I've always seemed to notice a resemblance to another brand with the new i30's Like the FD's a bit like BMW a bit like a Honda ( somehow i noticed that at time they were new.
but the GD had a Mazda look now this.
wonder why?

But i don't get excited till i look under the hood!! if it just had an electric motor i would be upset!!
