With ALL DUE RESPECT...

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

Good write-up.

I voted Saab. The newer ones seem to be alright. But like every journalist says "quirky."

I'm not going to put it in reverse every time I want to take the key out.

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.

I used to work @ Enterprise, I can attest to that!

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.

But on the side we sit, "enthusiast side", Korea is behind the ball. Me personally, i have never liked the Tiburon, this new Genesis, i have to drive it till i make opinions on it. So far it has good things going for it like the styling but we will see what happens when its out.

I could never see myself driving a Toyota, Mitsubishi, Buick, Benz, Kia, or Hyundai.

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 to the "Genesis fan club"

btw how do you like your under 180 hp v6? hyundai was a real winner with that one!
