Of course it does! These idiots haven't had an original concept for a car in 10 years. They've copied BMW, Honda, Nissan, Infiniti. It'll be a great piece of shit.

I'd give you more for the wheels than I would for the car!

I was never a fan of Hyundai till I got suck driving a Santa Fe for 6 months while waiting for my 335i to come in from Euro delivery. The car did exactly what is was supose to do. I took it snowboarding and it was great in the snow, good gas milage, and best of all NOT ONE SERVICE ISSUE.
There cars are not pieces of shit like everyone likes to think they are. Even Toyota said that to them their biggest threat is Hyundai and thats says a lot. |

The implication that Honda, Nissan, or Infiniti are somehow breaking new ground is comical. This new Hyundai is at least interesting, dunno how it's going to work out but it's interesting. Remember it's NOT the little emblems on the hood that make a car worthwhile.

They all copy each other to a degree. Each car has something of its own flare but some cues also come from ripoffs on other cars. It happens. Regardless the Hyundai's have begun to look decent, which isn't a bad thing at all.

My truck is a Nissan, I wouldn't buy a GM (Cadillac is GM, btw), and the only Ford I might consider would be an F-350. Maybe. But probably not. Whoever comes out with the first HD truck between Nissan and Toyota will probably be my next.

I've only driven Hyundai rentals, and they have been far worse than any other makers rental I've ever had. They've been uncomfortable, way underpowered (even for a rental) and just felt like a poorly made car. The last one I had was 4 weeks ago. I've never test driven one at a dealer, maybe someday I will. We'll see.

Could be. Time will tell. There are quite a few Korean brands that are worthy of consideration, but I don't think that Hyundai will be one any time soon. They have a terrible marketing team, their senior leadership team, specifically the CEO, seems to have no idea how to run a company and manage people. They've had to sack the American leadership team three times in 4 years. That tells me they don't know how to recruit people, and they don't know how to manage them. When you have to fire people that often, you're doing a shitty job hiring them in the first place. If you can't hire a good senior leadership team, how the hell can you convince me you know how to build a car that will last?

If I were strapped and wanted that kind of car and the best bang for my buck I'd definitely look at the Sonata for sure. I'm sure if BMW's were offered as rentals we'd all find something wrong with them. After a few hundred people drive a car like they stole it just about anything will feel uncomfortable.
