Well, rumours were that a larger car could come out in the future, like the RX-8 and Supra -type position. Right now that looks like it is a long way off.
However, a slightly more upscale but less sporty car, the Sonata coupe/2-door will come in to play with the Accord, Sebring, and Solara two-doors.
Also, as preiewed by the HCD-6 concept, a small Toyota MR-2/ Mazda Miata/ Pontiac Solstice-type convertible could debut in a few years.
Some higher-end versions of the Tibby could come out over time. The ConvertibleCoupe will debut sometime in the near future, and a 4wd 250-hp version could come out later...?
Hope that answers your question.

I had a relative who mistook Hyundai's symbol as a new Honda badge design! Actually that's what I was talking about also. They saw the H in front of the car and just assumed that it was a Honda. Really? Hyundai are are way more unique. Reminds me that I'm still on a Hyundai board. J/K ;D I'm GLAD to be here |

Ummm, sound slike Kia will get a sports sedan either as an 09 or in 09.
Andrew says it may be based on the Amanti.
But, will Hyudnai have a Sonata Coupe?
As for tibby,we won't buy one unless they add curves, or something, to the front end, like hte last 2 generations had.
