Titolo: [PRESS] Hyundai Tuscani (lungo e in inglese)

Da Asia Times, presentazione della Hyundai Tuscani:
Hyundai plans inroads abroad with new model
                    SEOUL - Hyundai Motor Co unveiled its new
export-oriented sports
                    car, the Tuscani, on Thursday. The latest model from
the stables of
                    Korea's leading carmaker was designed from the
outset to take on the
                    highly competitive markets of the United States and
Europe.
                    Two years and 245 billion won (US$191 million) have
gone into its
                    development. During the car's coming out ceremony in
Seoul, Hyundai
                    said that Tuscani's design incorporates a "new age"
style with built-in
                    luxury that should appeal to drivers in their 30s.
                    The Tuscani will come in two basic models, the
top-line Elisa will be
                    powered by a six-valve, 175-horsepower, 2,700cc
delta engine, while
                    the GT and GTS models will use a four-valve
138-horsepower, 2,000cc
                    beta engine.
                    The 2.7 liter model is reported to have a top speed
of 222 km/h, with
                    acceleration that surpasses such cars as the Toyota
Celica and Mercury
                    Cougar, Hyundai said.
                    Both engines are made by Hyundai, and the carmaker
said it is the first
                    time a Korean-made car has a six-speed manual
transmission similar to
                    that found on the Porsche 911. Customers can also
opt for the
                    four-speed H-Matic manual and automatic transmission
system.
                    Both systems are coupled with gas-type shock
absorbers that will be
                    added as standard options and greatly enhance the
performance safety
                    characteristics of the car.
                    The new sports car will also feature a high-tech
brake assistance system,
                    intelligent airbags, window wipers that react to the
speed of the car and
                    an internal hands-free mobile phone support system.
                    Hyundai plans to begin offering the car to domestic
customers starting on
                    Friday and expects to sell 5,000 cars on the local
market this year, with
                    sales figures reaching 15,000 next year.
                    Overseas, the automaker plans to debut the car at
the Frankfurt Motor
                    Show next week and begin selling the model late this
month and early
                    next month in Europe and the United States. Hyundai
hopes to sell
                    20,000 units this year, followed by 65,000 units in
2002.
                    Tuscani is the name of a region in northwest Italy.
The car will be priced
                    at between 14.8 million and 23.6 million won
depending on the engine
                    and options.

Valuta coreana..
Zotto

 Non sono rupie.... che valuta č?
1 coreano vale 1.6 lire italiane. I prezzi sembrano bassi ma ad un'analisi
piů approfondita non č cosě: in Corea la nuova Sonata costa 16 milioni (in
moneta coreana). La Atos viene circa 6. Con qualche proporzione ho dedotto
che ad occhio e croce la Tuscani dovrebbe costare circa 4-5 milioni di lire
italiane in piů rispetto al listino dell'attuale coupe. Stica##i!!

Quando telefonai per info a riguardo prima do acquistare la mia, la
hyundai mi disse che la nuova si sarebbe collocata in un altra fascia di
prezzo.
4-5 milioni in piů sono tanti per il portafogli, ma bisogna vedere se
qualitativamente li vale: in questo caso potrebbero essere fin pochi.
Se la venderanno a 40, io ho pagato la mia 30, mi piace di piů il muso,
quindi.... sono contento! :-)
Se faranno una versione decapottabile (coupé-cabriolet?), magari con
tetto rigido, allora venderň la mia e la comprerň subito!
