Hi all,

I just wanted to let everybody know that after 2 years in Korea, I'll be moving back to the USA in August!!! I'll still be with Hyundai, but I'll be returning to the Southern California studio.

My Crossfire is currently in storage in Decatur, IL. I plan to fly out for a family gathering on Labor Day weekend, and then take the Crossfire for a cross-country drive back to CA! I know there are some of you who live in St. Louis, Chicago, and nearby cities. I'd love to meet up with some of you along the way...Drop me a line!

-Eric

 

Hurray! When will you be in Chicago?

 

Well, that's worth a beer if you are coming close to Louisville, look me up. Congrats on the return! Chris

 

Eric that's great news. I'm sure there are plenty of Crossfire owners who would be up for an impromptu GTG upon your Midwestern arrival.
It's never too soon to start planning to attend next years Crossfire Reunion in Colorado either.
To bad you wont be back in time for the Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise.

 

Great to hear that you're returning to USA.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking...especially since Ray got Chrysler to put the concept on display for a day. That would be incredibly awesome to have the original concept car and Eric all in one place along with a few dozen Crossfires.

 

Welcome home Eric and safe travels. By the way "Z", it was Ray that secured the concept display for Woodward not Ron.

 

Fixed. Sorry that was my 8am brainfart for the day. I knew I shouldn't be allowed on here before 10am. Still not quite functioning.

 

I've been here a year, had no idea "THE Eric" posted here.

 

Welcome back! That would be a good homecoming in Ill. to get some Crossfires together.

 

By the exclamation points at the end of the title, I'd say you are pretty excited about coming home, Eric. Welcome back, and I hope you have a great and safe trip CROSS country. As can be evidenced by the fan base you have here, you were instrumental in designing a beautiful car, and I feel fortunate in being able to own one.

Point in fact, I looked at a 2007 BMW Z4M the other day, and while a beautiful car in its' own way, I couldn't help but compare it to the Cross. And to be honest it fell short, price to value especially.

So again, welcome home, and we'll look forward to speaking with you as you get more settled. The Cross is a fine piece of your work, but I'm sure there'll be many more to come. Mark

 

Welcome back to beautiful Southern California. Perhaps you will go to the Cruise for a Cure at the Orange County Fairgrounds again. Good luck with future endevors !

 

I am in Indianapolis, but would seriously consider attending in Chicago if we had a decent heads up on when it would be.....

 

Welcome back CREATOR. (I lived in Irvine for a couple years, nice area). You guys are putting out some nice work at Hyundai. Any chance you had a hand in the new Sonata? Nice lines.
Dive safe.

 

Welcome back, Eric!

My compliments on your work at Hyundai. The new Genesis is an attractive car and shows your signature lines along the sides. Before you went over there, their designs lacked appeal (and sales). Did you have a hand in the Tiburon (GK and GK FL) designs? It sure looks like it.

Anyway, kudos, and safe travels on your way home!

 

Glad to hear you are returning home. Too bad you couldn't make CAA in St Louis last month.

Perhaps those in the South West can get together for a "welcome home" get together.

 

Welcome back Eric! I truly do hope to have the privilege of meeting you when you come to IL to pick up your Crossfire.

 

I'm pretty sure you'll decline to answer, but here goes.....Eric, if someone were willing to give you either a Genesis Coupe 2.0T 6 spd. or a Crossfire Limited 6 spd. ( both with zero miles on the clock).....which one would you take? & let's pretend you don't already own an example of either one.....+ you'll be required to drive this car as your only vehicle for the next 10 years.

 

I was wondering where this was posted, I saw the one on the CICCI site.

My wife's suggestion is that those who can, come to Decatur IL and meet up with you. You let us know the dates that will work and we can get this going.

If nothing works out and you swing down to the STL area on your way out West, let us know!

 

Welcome back, as previously stated styling at Hyundai has come a long way since you joined them. Congrats on the great work. If you get a chance check the link in my signature. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the following the XF has gotten. Almost cult like
