30 mpg diesel with 190 HP/300 ft lbs? I'd rock it. Would you?

Looks cool.
I like the way it looks too.
Throw the 2.0L turbo and 6 speed manual transmission in it and i bet it would be a blast. Id still rock it with the turbo diesel.
I would never buy that but it looks awesome.
I like the idea of it and I hope Hyundai can execute it well. IMO there ought to be more of this type of vehicle in the market. I think a lot people would like to have the utility of a truck bed and some towing capacity without having to drive a gas guzzling behemoth.
I've got a friend with a Subaru Baja Turbo 5-speed. It's got AWD, good power, decent fuel economy and it handles like a car. But it's starting to get old and he wants to trade it in. Problem is, there's absolutely nothing in the market right now that is even remotely comparable. Something like this would be perfect for him. Hell, I'd DD one myself.

I hate Hyundai but this is a great idea and an untapped market they could really do well in.
I love the concept and I love the vehicle. Nicely designed and I agree that it could do very well. Timing seems to be great. Not sure I would actually buy one, but I do like it.
Just curious why you hate Hyundai.
Hyped up low quality.
They have come A LONG way in the last 5 yrs or so. I remember back in the day they were one step up from a yugo.
reminds me of the isuzu vehicross. I liked that car too.
Can someone photo shop this lowered, maybe less shiny stuff? Curious to see what it looks like.

I'd never own A Hyundai, but this looks pretty cool.
I will never buy another Hyundai again.
Lol, aren't you the guy that put the nitrous on the leased Genesis?
Interesting looking vehicle. Almost has the same lines as the Warthog from Halo.
Dunno if id buy one as I have zero need for anything close to a truck but its pretty cool. Like someone else said, 2.0t 6MT or 8AT in that bitch and it would be pretty fun. 30mpg diesel with 190hp isnt that impressive when you consider im getting high 20's in my 2.0t and its rated at 275hp and people actually legitimately gain mpg with tunes (not just a tale to tell their wives to sell them on buying mods "but honey, ill get better mileage!")
EDIT: nm, it says "High 30mpg" so disregard the above.
Does anyone know if its awd? I cant imagine a vehicle like that not being capable of awd.

Nope. I wouldn't, but i do think there is a market for suck a vehicle, and it can be filled by the Ranger.
I thought I was going to hate it more than I do.
I don't really know what else to say about it.
