Hyundai Pickup Rumors/Info/Sketch

Interesting. Take a look and read the articles. As long as a car based truck wasn't too much like the Ridgeline I'm sure I'd be happy and people would buy it. Make it too much like the Ridgeline and it's just poop (just ask Bob).

Well, why not. They might as well go all out.

The Hyundai El Camino.

That's all I'd need. I have no use for capabilities to pull construction equipment, just my Jetski and maybe when I get a small boat (14'-16') in a couple years. More than anything I just need hauling space, which even the inadaquate Ridgeline could probably accomplish. As long as they put the price point below that of other available trucks, it's a good sell, especially with the V8. In one of the articles, they said they could up the displacement from the current 4.6L 300hp version to get more power out of it for a truck. Nice.

They should avoid the 4cyl fwd compact pickup though. Just built this unibody BH-based hauler.
