Personally I think they could have done more to differentiate. I'm not gonna lie I had a bit of a moan on the hyundai UK Facebook today, because I know such people who claim to drive a Mercedes AMG, when in reality it's an A140 with a bodykit, big spangly wheels, and lots of badges.
I know it's obviously missing the engine, and also sills and rear spoiler, but why, why, why did they carry over the bumpers and seats? For example a Focus ST Line doesn't carry over bumpers from the ST. They colour code the standard bumpers and add lower valances. Where as if you see one of these coming towards you it's identical apart from no N on the grill.
I understand why they are doing it, but for me it completely dilutes the exclusivity, and what little presence the car has, so I'm really quite disappointed. All you have to rely on to most people will be the noise.
The only probable saving grace is the type of people in this market where looks are more important than anything else will likely still turn their nose up at buying a hyundai and will go buy something else.
