While the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/08/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-mazda-rx-8-r3-return-of-the-humme/">Mazda RX-8</a>, with its reverse-opening rear doors, may fit the bill a bit more accurately, the genre is primarily comprised of long and low sedans with deeply plunging roof lines. <br /><br />Pretty as they may be, these cars aren't the most practical choices for every day transportation, but they are proving popular enough that newcomers such as <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/15/first-drive-2009-volkswagen-cc/">Volkswagen</a> and now Hyundai are testing the waters with more mainstream vehicles. The Korean automaker's entry appears to be based on the Sonata mid-sizer and would likely be equipped with the same powertrain options as its less fashionable sibling. A budget model with a similar silhouette as more high priced offerings could be a winner and we hope something along these slinky lines could be on the drawing board using the Genesis sedan's underpinnings.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9081021.005/hyundai-4-door-coupe-spied-first-time-in-france">World Car Fans</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.worldcarfans.com/9081021.005/hyundai-4-door-coupe-spied-first-time-in-france>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/21/spy-shots-hyundai-developing-4-door-coupe/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1348598/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/21/spy-shots-hyundai-developing-4-door-coupe/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
