Frankly, I'd imagine that their consultants will say "don't do it", and Ssangyong won't be too disappointed. I read a news article on Autocar(.co.uk) in which one of the leaders of the company said that he knows that they'll never be as big as Hyundai/Kia, and that they're quite fine with being a niche maker of cheap,

Whale penis leather interior, with whale gut French-stitching and whalebone decorative inlays. Also available: whale tale spoiler that's actually a whale's tale. Downforce ftw.

Man, this is a huge disappointment. What they did to the car is exactly what I feared: they turned an understated, languorous, subtle coupe into a "sporty" coupe. With such a large and plain grille and short rear overhang, the proportions are such that this car looks more like an oversized CLA-based coupe than

The point of this sort of add is to illuminate that way to many people can't stop worrying about differences, and that those people make life harder for those of us who are different and need to be forced out of their own stupidity; there's no hypocrisy in being intolerant of the intolerant.

Being gay is obviously not a physical handicap, but speaking as a gay guy myself, it is a mental handicap. Growing up in a heteronormative society, there are rules for how men and women are supposed to behave—extensive, comprehensive rules. If you don't follow one of them, you begin to wonder about how many others

I heartily disagree. It's the same crossplane V8 sound that you hear everyday in every American city that has a pickup or large SUV driving its streets. Granted, a more refined version of that, but more muffled with those turbos, and no more interesting.

Okay, sure, but you're still talking about the engine, not the platform it went into, which, as far as I can tell, wasn't dramatically different when from when it came out in '67.

The F body had been around since the '60's with the original Firebird/Camaro. Even if it was subject to substantial revisions in its 35-year history, it seems a stretch to say that its last iteration was revolutionary; why you single out the '98 model year in particular, I'll plead ignorant. Educate me.

It's one thing to say that an engine transformed an industry; it's another to say that a particular platform did, particularly when that platform is the F-Body.

I still think the Hyundai is at least aging better than people said it would, and is all said and done a decent design (save for the grille, which remains a mess). I'd argue that the Optima, by contrast, is one of the best looking modern midsize sedans ever, inside and out. I can't speak to how either one drives.

The redesigned Sonata is supposed to be coming out this year. Dunno if that's a full redesign, chassis-up, or just a major rework of what's here; powertrains are likely to stay the same.

Super premium.

The only thing is, as far as I know, Proton doesn't have and never has had the breadth of lineup that the Koreans did in the early 2000's, either in any export market that they're available in or Malaysia itself. Additionally, they don't have dominance of their home market, where both the Koreans and the Japanese fair

Frankly, as the AWD is still offered with the I5, it's the only configuration I'd call "interesting". Granted, much less efficient than the new fours without being anymore powerful, but I love that 5-cylinder thrum.

Hyundai's actually been selling about as many Equus as they planned on selling. It's not a lot, but it sold as well as they expected it to. That should tell you something.

I know the feeling. Here in Cleveland, I considered the day to be warming up when we hit zero degrees. Haven't gone much past that, though. And to think I moved here from New Hampshire for the balmy weather....

Just two things: the base Veloster starts around $18K, not 23, and this guy cannot say the word Hyundai. Hooounday? Really? That said, finally someone with a take on the car other than, "it's not the new CRX, but I guess it's okay".

Now playing

I think it had to do as much with what you said, specifically that you skimmed his post and started laughing. That and saying that he was delusional, i.e., wrong, in his opinion. Besides, it does sound good for a large-displacement V6, in my opinion, better than the Mustang's 3.7, the Challenger's 3.6, and only

You forgot to include the Sonata, which has more power from DI, 3 fewer gears, and is now in its 5th year of production, about to be redesigned, yet gets the same 35mpg highway EPA rating even post EPA rating scandal. If this is quite, comfortable, well-trimmed, and not a total boat, it'll do okay, even if it does
