Pure speculation on my part, but I suspect Hyundai was hoping for a TPP (trans-pacific partnership) that would allow them to build this thing in South Korea and import it to the U.S. back in 2016, and avoid the Chicken Tax.

Jalopniks make up excuses to justify ridiculous pursuits.

True, but even in the carbureted era (I think a ‘91 was throttle body injection, with the “Magnum” era of multiport fuel injection a year or two in the future), the A/LA -block engines had a reputation for doing their underwhelming thing unfussily for a long, long time in between repairs.  Also, decent torque coming…

That’s the downside. The upside is that it is so understressed that it’ll run forever.

“Unilaterally seizing someone else’s property” is a somewhat unfortunate way to put it since it also perfectly describes what the British did in the region for a considerably long time. It’s an argument that’s often invoked by people defending the actions of the fascist dictatorship that ruled my country for almost 50…

If the goal is to differentiate from Subaru, that seems counter-productive.

dealerships are the reason automakers have no real feel of what the customer wants.  

That’s how they made it cheap. And its a sports car. As far as i’m concerned the formula for the perfect sports car is “Make it drive more ore less old school, but with modern performance and reliability.”

It’s a two-door sports car, what new technology do you absolutely have to have that this car doesn’t?

Everyone on this site: “I want a fast, stylish-but-not-overstyled, 300-400hp car with RWD, a manual transmission, and relatively analog underpinnings. I also want it for cheap.”

It’s gorgeous. Now that we’re seeing colors beyond yellow, I want to know where I can start lobbying to ask for my favorite color options, orange and brown.

Kumail booked a Marvel movie and spent the pandemic chillin’ with his wife. Don't lump him in with Sex Offender Alley because he works out. Who cares if he used PEDs? He didn't hurt anyone.

you mean alongside the psychic space wizards with laser swords who one time went to a place that was outside of time and altered fate by pulling a person from the past into the future?

So even as Jalopnik inveighs against buying murderous devices like pickup trucks and BMWs and publish articles about harassment of women and minorities in motorsport, they’ve got you shilling for a Saudi racetrack built in part by slave labor owned by the government that vivisected a journalist for, among other…

I’m hoping one day we will test drive cars like we are in The Matrix.

I love F1, for the past 50 years. But, I still have a conscience.

So how has F1, MotoGP and FIFA sanctioning events here moved the needle on civil rights? Remember, both parties said that their events should be seen to shine a light for change and not an endorsement of the status quo.  Where are we at on that?

Hey, F1 adds ANOTHER country with human rights abuses to their list of tracks. Surprise surprise! Wasn’t Liberty saying they wouldn’t be going to countries with human rights issues when they took over?

But not many people hit the hilarious trifecta of misusing Autopilot, driving on a suspended license and crashing into a cop. It could have only been more stupid if they crashed into a jail. lol
