Question ~> New Coupe (yes, 2 doors) coming soon !

Hi Member's, I know the below won't be for everyone , but it's great to see a automotive company creating & designing a New Coupe for the Automotive market...

I hope that GM see's that there's still a market for 2dr Coupes 4-Sure...Why can Hyundai gives their customer's a 10year 100K warranty & the US auto companies don't

Don't they believe in their products ?......Please post your thoughts on the below, and why the US companies don't offer better warranties ? ?
Thank You!

Hyundai Elantra GT and Coupe unveiled in Chicago

Hyundai has introduced the new Elantra GT hatchback and Elantra Coupe at the ongoing 2012 Chicago Auto Show, unleashing at the same time a first lot of official images of the two models on the internet. The pair comes with the same 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine that powers the Elantra sedan - delivering 150 hp and 177 Nm of torque - that can be coupled to either a manual or an automatic 6-speed transmission.
The Elantra GT weighs only 1,265 kg, a feature that allows it to be quick and responsive even though the engine is not that performing. It comes with 17″ alloys and a sporty set-up that makes it extremely stable. In the cabin we have heated seats, seven air bags, sound system with Bluetooth connectivity and even a cooled glove compartment. For this model the Korean carmaker claims an average fuel consumption of 7.3 l/100km in urban traffic and 6.0 l/100km when traveling on motorways.
The Elantra Coupe will be available in two versions: the ‘GS’ and the more well-equipped SE. The main features of the former are a set of 16″ wheels and a quite minimal interior with mp3 player and 6 speakers. The SE instead will roll on standard 17″ rims and an optional sat-nav system with a 7″ touch screen and a rear view camera. The Coupe will come in seven different colors - three of which are available for this model exclusively -and black or gray interior finishing. No word on prices yet.

The cars will sell. Hyundai seems to be able to exploit markets the the domestics (Plymouth, Oldsmobile) said no longer existed. I think as far as GM is concerned, if they had not put so much effort into launching Saturn and had instead tried to save Oldsmobile they would have been better off.

Looks like one of the better coupes that I've seen lately. That 100k warranty would be pretty nice as well.
