Does it strike anybody else as strange that he was on a business trip to the company's headquarters while this happened?

Now playing

Every time I go to Paris, I think of car chases. Tunnels, small streets, oddly paved streets, and small hot euro cars, plus landmarks and a river to race by for camera shots!

ZR-1. I'm less likely to kill myself in that. Plus, it's nostalgia factor for my dad, who doesn't have any Corvettes anymore, and I'm sure would love to take a spin or two.

10 years ago to today. Amazing what a German designer, and a Hyundai partnership can do for your company, no?

Buy a current-gen 2.4L with a stick, be like the cool kids! In all seriousness, we have it right now. Go out there and buy it.

+1, we haven't seen the new Koup or 5 yet, but I'm not hopeful. The new sedan looks killer, though.

They make a hatch of the current-gen Forte. They are about 173HP with 6-speeds as standard in SX trim right now. 2.4L Theta II. They're nice, if a little plain. Expect the next-gen Forte to get Hatch and Koup variants in 2014.

No, but they do sell it in convertible, hard top coupe, and also sell a removable hard top. So your comment should have been "Make the TT a hardtop convertable"?

It's called a TT.

Sorry, just a hair too small for me. I'd rather have a Dart with the same engine. Or 10 of the other cars in the sport compact segment.

Love it. No other words needed. Too bad it's triple my car buying range.

I was talking about the Sedona. They are planning on bringing it back in 14 or 15 on a new platform, but Hyundai isn't, as to my knowledge.

Here's what I really don't get. BMW makes a large margin on their cars. Probably a lot more than most brands, but I don't know for sure. Low-end brands with value-priced cars make little in the margin on their cars.

Kia is nixing their vans for the 2013 year. Hyundai already did.

Seat's all the way back, pedals still feel like their in my ass. She has a 1999 9-3 Cabrio though, it's pretty small. It's not the legroom, I can ride in the passenger seat fine. It's the seating position.

Yeah, I used to sell Kias, and the Optima Hybrid (same as Sonata, for all intensive purposes) is around .25. They used to have "more aerodynamic than a Porsche Carrera" or something similar on the training material, and I always found it humorous.

I don't live anywhere near here, but I work in downtown Philly. If I get stuck here late, and I drove in instead of taking the train, I can fly right out of here, even though it's gridlock from 4 to 8. I absolutely, safely, go faster than 15.

Bugatti has a 0.41. Zonda S has a 0.4. I do believe that in cars like this, it has more to do with down force then wind tunnel efficiency. There are plenty of every-man cars in the under 0.3 range nowadays.

Your post could have been said better in just those 5 words.

And all caps, blatant bashing, doesn't make you look stupid?
