2005 Facelift gen3 Hyundai Coupe.
There have been a few pictures around of the prototype Coupe Cabriolet, but
much sooner than that will be the facelift gen3 due out in 2005.
As yet it is not known exactly when it will be available in the UK and what the
spec will be, but the US are expecting the 2005 model in a few weeks and
Singapore already have theirs on sale.
Based on the current gen3 this new version has an updated interior as well as a
sportier (in my opinion) exterior.
Exterior
The most noticeable change is the re-shaped front, with a more modern style
front bumper and smoother, tinted headlight lenses. On the side the 'gills'
have been changed to me more like the aftermarket ones available from companies
such as Zefiro.
It also looks as though there will be a choice of alloy wheels behind which
will be drilled discs.
The current tail lights will be changing to a style similar to those of the
gen2.
Interior
Internally things are brighter with the addition of chrome vent rings and
silver door handle. Possibly the best part is the red stiching on the leather
seats and door cards.
Personally I think this second incarnation is an improvement over the current.
