That is what im thinking. You have a friend with one and they let you drive it or make you go take a test drive, you like it, you buy. Dont think ads are going to move as many, since they alredy make good cars and move so so.

my autos teacher in highschool used to work for them he was the guy that would fly halfway across the country because the tech put in a new gas didnt fix it turns out the new gas cap was broken too and he put in a diff one. he and service managers would tear down cars to see how they work so they could fix them. he told us this will either make or break hyundai as a full luxary car if they fail they will have to do what toyota did, create lexus and what honda did, create acura. if you get it right on youre first try theyre is so much money saved

Looks good.. Hyundai is changing how people view their cars.. I think they'll become on of the top manufactuers and pass up their "Cheap" image..
Don't worry, that's not gonna happen in your and my lifetime.

Judging by the grille and the emblem on the hood, I thought it was a Chrysler until they said it was a Hyundai.Mostly it looks like a MB S-class. I hate how Asian car companies totally rip off the styling of German cars lately.

Hyundai is using the SAME business model the Japanese used, 50 years ago... Cheap (not affordable, CHEAP) cars priced accordingly... Slowly move up market as your foutunes increase (LITERALLY)... Undercut the established (in this case theJapanese, who are now going after teh Germans having already conquered the ADM manufacturers) market owners with a more affordable product and a better warranty...

NEXT will be the Chinese, using the EXACT SAME business model to undercut the Koreans
After that will be the Indians (dot-in-the-forehead, not woo-woo-woo)

Soon the ADM manufacturers will only have about a 15% global share of teh market[&o]

looks like a bentley symbol on the front. I think its ugly as ***** but wtf is with 375 hp. Since when does hyundai have 375 hp. I wonder if they will sell...
I hear Rodney King has saved up enough for one of those ZERO-down deals...

I love how they always forget about Audi in their 'luxury car comparison.' They always compare their cars to BMW Lexus and Mercedes, but never Audi. They just know that they can never compete!

Although, Hyundai is really becoming a force to be reckoned with in the automotive industry. They are building some pretty decent cars now...

they've definitely been getting nicer, but its still a hyundai and i would never own one. they're either cheap knockoffs of real luxury cars or gay little ricers. this kid in my neighborhood has one, got the same engine as the eclipse so there's no shortage of parts for them, and they're cheap as fvck. he swapped in a 4g63 from a gsx in his last hyundai and totalled it (what a surprise)
