Hyundai Vision G


Have you seen the new Hyundai Vision G concept coupe yet? I can't find a copyright free image to post here but you can see it here. When I first saw images of it, I figured that it might be the next Genesis Coupe. Pretty good, I thought, and a decent follow up. But no...look again, Buffy...it's a mess. The lines are horrendous and there's too much concept car frippery to make it real. Let's not even discuss the bunker-like window openings. Word is that it actually displays design elements for the next Equus. What the...really?!? Yes, really.

But all of that smoke and mirror action didn't hide the real wig-flipper. No, it was the door handle...which isn't actually on the door! Take another look at the linked image, if you haven't already and then come back for the punchline. I'll wait.

See it? Pretty kooky, huh. Yup and apparently it doesn't even work like a door handle, it's more of a swipe your hand over it and the darn thing opens automatically type deal.

So why go through the trouble of making it look like a door handle? Why not just wave your hand over the side mirror or something?

Ah, the stupidity of concept cars...it's fun but it's stupid at the same time.

PS. Now would not be the time to purchase a used 2011-2012 Hyundai Sonata. Wait till they've all had their engines replaced.
