We're not sure, but Hyundai calls it the Hellion. "Hellion brings a new attitude to the Hyundai family," said Joel Piaskowski, chief designer at the Hyundai Design Center. "It's the sibling who's a bit mischievous and always outspoken."Outspoken indeed. The Hellion's short overhangs, tall stance and flared fenders create aggressive proportions. A clamshell hood with exposed latches offers quick access to the engine bay. There's also a soft top which is removable to expose the Hellion's functional safety cage overhead. Dakar Gold paint pays homage to the Dakar-rally inspired design. Inside, things really get silly. In addition to the hydration system and backpacks, there's an overhead center console which contains interior lighting and a drop-down LCD screen for rear-seat passengers. Hidden drawers are contained in the front of each seat and the center console contains lids with translucent strips which allow a better view of their contents. The HCD10 Hyundai Hellion, which is obviously the 10th concept in the HCD series, is also equipped with electronic stability control, a shift-by-wire transmission, wireless Internet, a navigation system and adaptive cruise control.</blockquote>
