Oh look, they've gone back to knocking off Mercedes instead of Audi.
Lots of cars could "kill" my M5 these days. It's still the better car.

It's a nice vehicle and because its Hyundai it will be competatively priced but in the 360 range is woefully underpowered.
When the 3.3tt was first talked about a few years ago numbers like 425 and 450 were tossed around which tells me they ran into some reliability issues in testing.
I dont see how something could be an 'x' killer when its going to be slower and have a lesser build quality just because they can undercut the price.
If youre going out to buy an M youre not going to be swayed by Hyundai because its less expensive. Youre buying the status and the brand as much as the car at that point. To attract that buyer you need to smoke the M on paper THEN you get an opertunity to maybe bring that buyer over with a price tag.
Realisticly anyone who buys this car wasnt in the market for an M. They just wished they had one.

The Japs and Koreans simply don't care about horsepower dick-waving like their Western counterparts.
