These cars are weird, cool, and unobtainably rare. Oh, also, I bought one today.

Soon. I’ll do a good writeup with pics when I get it home. Need to tow it, but it might be the least rusty 90s Hyundai in America.
Only pic I took of it had my buddy in it (we bought it t ogether as a project)

Congrats! My youngest sister had a Scoupe back in the 90s. I’ll admit, though, that I don’t remember anything about it other than it was a Scoupe and ( more than likely) a base model.

Croppity crop crop. Bumpers are cracked, hood has a small dent, b ut rust isn't bad at all. Like, less than the Golf.

Nice! Like a weird Korean Mx6, except it’s the size of an escort

This is the top end model of it. The interior is actually really nice. The seats kick ass, too.

It’s perfect! Not trashed but not too nice you can’t push shopping carts with it. Very Good Car

It's so small!

We're gonna clean it up and make it a show/autox car probably

That’s awesome, man! I can’t wait! Love me some boxy Korean goodness!

Awesome! As a fan of my ‘09 Accent, it’s nice to see some Hyundai love! :D
Any pics, etc?

Is the turbo just a bit of cardboard glued onto the engine?

I was saying to a friend today (after he sent me an ad asking $1500 for a rusty dodge Omni) that someone needs to save some of the old shitboxes from oblivion.
My rather sentimental thought was that these cars got people to work, kids to school, went on dates, took families on vacations and generally allowed people who may not have had a lot of money to live life. A few deserve to be well cared for instead of being abused and scrapped. There’s no risk to the Supras and Porsches but the early
90s kia Rio is an endangered species
Of course if
your plan is to make a Derby car,
gambler or ice racer please disregard this message and proceed with
sending
it...

I’m not even really kidding, it might come to be one of the nicest/most well restored Hyundai’s in NA. Even cooler than an obscure beater

Only the one I posted on another comment- I'm really bad about taking pics of my cars!

I wanna say I read it's actually a Garett T15? It's small, though. No intercooler.

Right, because who restores a Hyundai?
![]() 09/06/2019 at 20:41 |

Oh god no, if it were a rust bucket it would get sent to death, but it's very clean. Easily the cleanest left in America (because there's like ten left probably) so it'll be a light restoration (fix some paint issues and what little rust it has) and then shows and autocross, probably.

As a Hyundai owner / fan,
I decree that you must provide us with more imagery of this rare beast. :P

I saw a slightly battered old Accent tonight

Those seem to be slightly more plentiful than the Rio, I'll do a post on the one I'm looking for

I haven’t seen one of those in like 20 years. I didn’t know any still survived.

Just this one, probably
