Hyundai Vision G Concept Aims Higher - Yahoo Autos (blog)
As Hyundai rolled out the Vision G concept coupe at Los Angeles Museum of Art, Hyundai’s U. S. chief designer Chris Chapman took us back to the dark ages, specifically to the idea of chivalry. “While…cars [such the Vision G] aren’t necessarily for the masses, our version here is definitely more attainable than luxury cars of similar performance, size and quality. The noble-sounding notion of transcending class has actually been happening at Hyundai for a long time, but frankly, until now, it’s been more a story of class ascension than anything else.
