This car does look like some serious good stuff. The styling, while not my cup of tea entirely, is better than the Type R. The interior seems very solid at this price point, and from what C&D said about its dynamics, if those are the same as we end up getting here with NA models, this would be a definite contender if I was in the market for a hot hatch. I've been really impressed with the Korean car makers lately; the G70 for instance seems likely to really put some heat on Audi, as it has the potential to give you S4 type gusto for A4 type pricing, for instance.
But I really want to see what this thing is going to be in full North American form, including pricing and options.
