    ...But owning a Hyundai comes with a boatload of stereotypes.

    Everyone assumes it's cheap and slow just because it's Korean. Yes, stock tibs are slow. Mine's not stock -- it's not a 700whp supra either, but it's not exactly a pushover.

    Another myth is that all Korean cars are cheap. Newer Hyundais aren't cheap. Cheap in price, yes -- Cheap in quality, no. I've had virtually NO problems with my Tib, and the few small problems i've had have been covered under a great warranty. I don't see why it's so damn hard for Hyundai to get respect when their cars are out there going just as strong as Japanese competitors. It's just an old stereotype that probably won't go away unless Hyundai impresses with their new RWD Tib coming out soon.

    edit: one thing i really hate about it is everybody asks me what kind of car it is because of the Tuscani emblems.
