Those are beautiful cars, IMO.

Hyuandai... can’t even ripoff the name properly. Low end car maker.

[Mears]

Don’t be such a snob.

Agree. My new Mercedes had a new electrical problem every other month. Traded it well before the warrenty expired.

My earlier BMW stranded me while still under warrenty.

Never again, Germany.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yeah, in 1988. Go look at the photos with the article.

My Mercedes was so old it had a carburetor.

You don’t fancy those Alabama cars, it appears.

Please spare me this crap. Who pays 50 grand for a low end “luxury” freakin hyuandai?! Spend the same and get real luxury premium vehicles. Wow this not innovating “luxury” peasant company is complaining about next gen tech.

Like hobos complaining about inefficient washing machines.

[PAR35]

Come on. We need to show more respect for our betters. Those 1%ers can look down on a $68,000 car as a cheap piece of junk. Shoot, his butler probably dives something nicer than that.

[Army Air Corps]

Yes, they are. From what I have read and heard, they drive magnificently.

[Paal Gulli]

Nürburgring is a horrible place to do developmental testing on a road cars because the better suited to the ‘Ring they are, the more awful they are on the road.

It’s well known amongst automotive suppliers that the luxury car makers put “stupid tech” on those vehicles to get real world experience in order to assess it’s usefulness across the board. They consider luxury car buyers to be suckers who are motivated mainly by ego who never question anything and just write the check. The rest of their customers are far more discerning.

If I want to play with a computer I’ll stay right where I am. If I want to drive a car...that means that I don’t want to play with a computer.

Some pundit derided tire pressure instrumentation as stupid tech. To each his own, but it is a nuisance not to have pressure monitoring. One man’s bling is another man’s thing.

[McGruff]

I own 2 Hyndais and they are great cars.

[upchuck]

Speaking of stupid tech, how ‘bout a car that won’t let you backup if your door is ajar?

I like this guy’s attitude.

A luxury car with a 1000 page owners manual is a joke.

I gave up on BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar a long time ago. Maintenance drains!

Love my Lexus and don’t care if it’s PC or not.

I know someone with this behemoth. it's just stupid but she managed - against all odds - to marry someone who could afford something so she thinks it's a big deal. To me it looked like a pretend Bentley.

No, this incorrect. Like most other South Korean manufacturers, Hyundai has improved steadily over the years and they now make quality, well-priced cars. I don't own one, but I'd have no problem buying one over a Honda - both are outstanding brands with fine quality and safety (very similar grades for both by JD Power).
