First good new Spectra pictures

[SuperGLS]

Take a look at this. Spectra TD.

Looks good, even if the lights look just like the IS. You can kind of see the HD influence a bit. And, I don't know what Rapidcharge is (on the plate).

meh, i dont like the tiny trunk.. its very short, reminds me of a mazda3

[zx2uner]

I think its a bad photochop. The lights, rims, and rear door line look all added.

[SuperGLS]

After looking again, kind of a little. Take a look at these shots.

I like it. A lot. I still think the Current Spectra or the SX4 Sport would be my replacement for the Elantra.

[bdiggy]

I like it too. There's nothing wrong with a tight rear end Pete:D

It's probably made outta Matchsticks and tin. I h8 Kia.

KIA'S and Hyundai's are the same thing.


I think it looks really good if they ever orrer a AWD model sedan I'm def getting one.

^ Uhh... Qyn?

You do know that your Elantra is about 80-90% identical to the currernt Kia Spectra, right? That means that you hate your Elantra too...? How could you own a Hyundai Elantra, be on this site, etc. and not know that?

[BobMs_wht2k2]

It's probably made outta Matchsticks and tin. I h8 Kia.

So you hate Hyundai?

[indkezra]

yeah I didnt notice it at first but that is definitely photoshopped

[CRAZIECRACKER]

photoshopped! thats worse than the work i do lol

[rusto85]

That's the limited edition photochoped 2010 Spectra....for sale winter of 09!

For real look at the rear wheel....low in air at a show? never!

[CRAZIECRACKER]

i love hows there no sign of the tail light being two peices to accomodate the trunk opening.

[Qyn]

It's probably made outta Matchsticks and tin. I h8 Kia.

To be clear, I realize that Kia and Hyundai are the same company. Just like Ford and Mazda are the same company. Ford still sucks (except the F-series trucks and the Mustang). One more thing... do we have a "backpedal" emoticon? If not, we should.

[Tommy]

thats just ignorant.

Personally I dont like any kia models, but i dont dislike kia.

and the difference between mazda and ford is MUCH greater than kia/hyundai. there's basically a kia equivelent of every hyundai. the only mazda equivelent that ford makes is what? a pickup truck? do they even still make the b-series?

ford and mazda are related in the fact that ford owns a share in mazda, and thats about it.

[SuperGLS]

Let's please keep this about the new Spectra if possible. Thanks everyone.

[CRAZIECRACKER]

is there really a new spectra? since this pic was photochopped

[SuperGLS]

Yes, go take a look at the spy shots. Any photochopping in the posted pic is actually pretty minor stuff.

[CRAZIECRACKER]

well then, i like the look of it definetly. even though im not a fan of HD's at all and this definetly resembles one

[Qyn]

I like the look. Needs a nice engine.

[Tommy]

knowing the current trend...itll be a beta.

[SuperGLS]

knowing the current trend...itll be a beta.

Yep. Oh wells. We can always hope for the next gen platform to use the Theta.

[Silentwolf]

I think by then tho, many of us will be on to better cars.

[Tommy]

I think by then even the theata will be out dated.

Stick with the small 2.0l, but make it have the fuel economy and power to match the civic's and corollas, then they'll have something.

[slyderdai]

I think by then tho, many of us will be on to better cars.

sheeeeeit I'm keeping mine till it falls apart.

[kylemorg]

^ The way you drive, that shouldn't take too much longer... ;)

I actually liked the look of the old Spectra hatchback. I tried to talk my wife into one rather than the Subaru Impreza she / we bought. I never liked the Spectra sedan, but if the new one looks like these pictures I'll have to see what they look like in person.

[Tommy]

I like the body style of both of the current spectra flavors a lot better than the elantras, but the interiors are junk. Layout is terrible and the cloth is worse than the GSL cloth. If they had interiors like my GT, i would be on a Spectra forum right now...

[BobMs_wht2k2]

The newer sportline model SX has a nicer seat than the Elantras. THey've come a long way in a short amount of time.
