Partly sad though, at least we can gather these people truly do not value their own lives by buying these 'cars'.

Can't say I'm sold on what I've seen and read about this new abysmal horror of a car, either. It looks like the Camry's cousin.

What are you on about?

If Hyundai made a car that had the speed of a Veryon, the space of a Maybach, the street creed of a GTHO and the safety of a Merc, and was priced.. well like a Hyundai with a 'H' on the grille you would just bag it caus, well it's only a POS Hyundai I guess.

1) Don't believe all you hear
2) NO Hyundai is 11 grand new in this country.
3) Parasites ONLY survive with a willing host. And there seems to be an endless supply of hosts wanting to keep a parasite like a Hyundai alive.
4) The new Hyundai's are equally as safe as the best in the business. Compare it on a dollar value per star rating and they will probably surpass anything else on the market, bar other 'POS' Korean brands.
5) These 'contraptions' have got Japan's automotive super powers worried.
6) 'Sad'??... well you have NFI in the least.

Give it a rest. The Korean 'POS' stigma horse has bolted years ago.

I'll prob get flamed, but meh.. When people talk BS I start to get annoyed.

You just have to look at the massive change hyundai has had in america with there genesis range, the genesis sedan even won one of americas top car awards. With this new sonata, plus the ix35 suv and the possiblity of genesis coupe coming here. I truly think hyundai has finally come of age.

The Genesis was 2009 North American Car of the year.

In doing so, it beat all these cars:

2009 North American Car of the Year nominees

Audi A4
BMW 1 Series
Cadillac CTS-V
Dodge Challenger
Ford Flex
Honda Fit
Hyundai Genesis
Jaguar XF
Lincoln MKS
Mazda 6
Nissan GT-R
Pontiac G8
Toyota Venza
Volkswagen Jetta TDI

If that is nice (relative)...
then a series 1 forte looks as good as vette (comparative)
doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
:

We are talking purely about style... So pretend it has a Ford badge, and Cortina if you have to.. Pretend it is a V6 with RWD... would the styling look better to you then?

I showed my wife this thread and she commented by saying "It looks a bit fancy, Kind of like getting your Angus from Maccas"
