The c-pillar is nothing new, and some of the newer CUVs (Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade come to mind) have equally massive pillars. I'm not sure that the chassis is going to be redesigned to add in an extra window or somehow manage to make that blind spot smaller. Expect cameras instead
It does have the face of a catfish, but having driven the Tucson with the 1.6T, I can easily say that no more power is necessary. It's not the hooligan-mobile-getaway-car that the 2.0T in the last gen Sportage was, but it's no slouch. The 7-speed DCT has some odd low-speed behaviour that mimics extreme turbo lag, however. It is a little disconcerting.
I wonder how pricing will be on this thing.
