kia.
They hae nothing appealing.
Unless you count that jaguar wannabe.
well when i voted saab, it was because there no way in hell i would ever own one. they dont make bad cars, just boring ones. yeah there all tubo'd. woohoo. that just means more parts to fix, and turbos and turbo seals to replace. lol Saab. "made from jets" lol bull****, made by boring people for boring people.
KIA AMANTIQuote:

Hyundai
Kia
Mercades
Here's why....
Hyundai...just isn't attractive, too cheaply built and fwd ftl.
Kia...its a kia enough said..
Mercades...okay...they are nice overall...But are HANDS DOWN the most over-priced cheaply built machines on the face of the earth. They break every other time you drive it, its $200 for an oil change, and $2000 for a catalytic converter...I mean COME ON! They have SOME clean rides but once again are so expensive that even if you actually can afford one, you never drive it cuz you know when you service it, its going to cost you $5000...
I used to be a hardcore lexus guy(hence why I hate mercades), but I'm now REALLY into BMW, Porsche, Audi...Some can say the same about these other companies, but I've never seen more issues with a car and cost an arm and a leg, than a Benz
you covered yor bases with that last statement.Quote:

The older ones look like shoes.
In Hyundai's defense, their quality has really improved in the past few years. I had an 07 Sonata when I went out of town on business and I was really impressed with how comfortable it was. The V6 definitely has enough power to get out of its own way. I would drive a Hyundai everyday.
But not an Accent, because they look like jelly beans.

well i said Saab
i just dont c the point in ever getting one
i havnt seen a Saab i like yet
Any american made cars. I hear ppl bitcching about the qulity of the car all the time. Plus there ugly !
There's a distinction. Do you mean cars made by American companies (Cerberus, GM, Ford) or cars made in the US (most Hondas/Nissans and what not, including the probable place of manufacture of your EG).Quote:

Saw an 07 or 08 Sonata on the Highway, looked pretty solid.
I drove the V6 version suring my rental days, I was impressed at the engine's responsiveness :D

I voted honda. Ugh, can't stand them. Too many idiots own them, and none of the cars (s2000 not withstanding) they make are appealing to me. All fwd econoboxes that lack soul or character and hardly any factory options for forced induction.

Probably a Honda. Or any other foreign piece of junk..
Sorry, but Chevy makes a damn good vehicle. Corvette ZR1 is ridiculous. You can't get a better car for your money. Their gas trucks, run forEVER. I beat the living crap out of mine every day. The Chevrolet 350 is the most common motor out there and the cheapest to rebuild. Chevrolet Leads The Way
Only other company that pulls that off is Toyota. Their little motors are indestructible. And last forever.
Bunch of ignorant sumbishes in this thread... but I guess it was to be expected.
Wrong. Kia is owned by Hyundai.Quote:

I applauded you fight for Korean cars but it is really up to them to make and impact. When i was selling cars a while back, we did have have a bunch of customers who arn't car people but for their needs and though their research, they new for the average person, Korean cars have caught up.Quote:

I could never see myself driving a Toyota, Mitsubishi, Buick, Benz, Kia, or Hyundai.
other for Ford- my wife has one but I cant wait to rid myself of it.
Other-Ford what more can i say

dude dont be a retard they manufacture cars in the same factory.
and as for the genesis.. thus far the car seems pretty cool, good power and brembo brakes and whatnot.. but would you seriously buy the first attempt from them at a rwd sports car? and for what they want for it? thats imo something i wouldnt do. if you look at most 1st year production cars even from companies that have built like cars in the past. you will know that often times they have lots of bugs. and most of the improvements come later on in future generations. and not to mention i read in motor trend they were aiming that car to compete with the new G37.. go home hyundai. my :2cents: to the "Genesis fan club"
btw how do you like your under 180 hp v6? :lmfao: hyundai was a real winner with that one!
I'd never buy a GM newer than ~1968.
I would never own a Mercedes. I would and have driven a Kia before ANY Mercedes.
i like it as much as you like your 240 hp / 150 tq honda :lmao:Quote:

If you are a Honda/Acura fan, you cannot clown Hyundai. Hyundai has now done what Acura still can't do .
1-Make a RWD sedan
2-Make one with a V-8
3-Make a car with a 6 speed Auto.
The Genesis solidifies Hyundai as the real deal and makes Acura seem laughable since HYUNDAI has now passed them in those 3 MAJOR respects.
A loaded Genesis has RWD, a 6 speed auto and 380 or so HP. The flagship Acura is the RL which sells like crap, has 290hp, a 5 speed auto and SH-AWD but with 70/30 FWD bias.
lincoln doesnt appeal to me at all
and y did u put chevy and gm(all) chevy is in the gm family
