Hey Jonny, I think I may have told you in the comments of a previous video, but I bought an I30N about 12 months after they were launched (on a 68 plate) and it was a fantastic car. I loved every popping and banging second of it. So much so, that this IoniQ5 N really makes me want to seriously consider buying one, and it's the very first EV to make me look at it and say "Damn....I want one of those" - I really cannot wait to see what Hyundai come up with next. I'm sure if the do an Ionic6 N that'll prove to be every bit as good as all the N cars thus far. Keep up the great work Jonny, always a pleasure watching your content.

[@baronvonlimbourgh1716]

They had a decade long monopoly and had thrown billions by nearly every western government thrown at them for years trough subsedies. And it seems they are squandering it all away by being lazy. Their line up needs replacing asap, next to new launched models they look more and more outdated. That will quickly catch up with them. Plus they need to fix their sales model. They are simply not even competing for a large portion of the market. Thats fine when you are the only thing in town, but not when the entire is shifting and starts competing.

The rear windshield wiper for one, but it would be nice to have a "Sport" Ioniq with maybe the rear wing and a more aggressive front.

I've been curious to see this class of car emerge (the sport-tuned EV variant of a non-sport model), because so far sport EVs have basically been limited to Tesla Roadster (early, rare), hot Teslas (more dragsters than well-rounded sport sedans), and the Taycan (starts out of reach of most buyers). Maybe the BMW i3 too (more of an EV 'warm hatch' than a full sports model, and in a lesser range class). Hyundai and N are some of the best to do it I'd imagine!
