As the regulations of emissions rise, so will prices. Light cars are already hard the find (the C6, 350Z, and RX-8 are all at or above 3000 pounds). You guys act like a 240SX was 15K when they were first released. Here's a hint: they weren't. Your expectations of the car market are unreasonable.

BTW the Hyundai coupe you're referring to is called the Genesis.

The site states it will have an automatic RWD V8. It's not targeted towards tyte tunahs, it's targeted towards old people that are cheap but still want a half decently powered car.

Also, why would a car manufacturer put the R&D into a low powered car they could sell for 15K when they could put just as much work and effort into a higher powered car and sell it for twice as much? It's all about the money, and you don't make money by barely making a profit on some poor car that's going to be modified (with parts provided by aftermarket companies, mind you, that the manufacturer will never see) the second they leave the lot?
