Can't wait until it comes out in the Fall. Looks like it'll be a nice little drive.

It's Hyundai's competitor to the Kia Soul. I don't like the shape or that two tone roof.

Yes, it is. But I didn't like how the 2019 soul drove. If this handles as well as the Kona does, it'll be worth a look from me.

121hp, CVT, and wow that last picture of the front is a face only a mother could love. No thanks.

All in the eye of the beholder! It will suit some but not others! For me the appeal is the way it's supposed to handle, the stick, and the fact that many safety options are available.

Interesting but I'd go with the Kona over this one. Still waiting to see if they put out the Santa Cruz, otherwise Kona might be next.

I'm interested. Always nice to see a well-equipped, affordable hatchback. And that's what it is, it's not an SUV. I'd want the full complement of safety equipment and I'd want to see whether the rear seats really fold flat - that's my bugaboo, I want to maximize cargo capacity when I do need to carry something bulky. I don't care about AWD, I can drive in the rain and snow and ice and if it's really bad everything gets shut down around where I live (Long Island).

This can attract the older crowd who currently buy the Kia Soul as the design (interior and exterior) appear more mature than the Soul. Keep the Soul funky fresh. I’m curious if any changes are made to the ride feel in the suspension and sound dampening.

@victimofGM,

that was my thinking.

Similar virtues to the Kia Soul but in a more conservative, less flashy package.

It looks like a Kia Soul and Subaru CrossTrek had a head-on collision and somehow morphed into one.

SoulTrek?
