Santa Fe will be getting a mid cycle refresh but not entirely sure about power trains from what I’ve read.

Can confirm. Work with a bunch of MBAs and MBA-Hopeful students.

Yeah many people wish they would have debuted the new PD Elantra GT in 2018, by porting over the i30 N, with the N-Line. But they chose the inaugural N car in North America, to be the Veloster, since they felt it was more to our taste. The Elantra GT was sort of designed with the European market in mind anyhow,…

Very nice! Well, Hyundai has that 8 speed wet DCT option now, and it’s going into the Sonata N-Line and a few other vehicles as an option. Including some SUVs. *cough cough KONA* and people like my husband, think the Veloster and Kona are “cute” so that wins points with the spouse, usually.

These cars actually DO NOT have a brake-throttle override.

To bring the Tucson DCT debacle around full-circle, they DID take the 1.6T + DCT out of the Tucson at the time, and there’s a ton of theories why.

That reminded me, yeah, insurance industry sure did kill 2-door coupes and hatches.

The car we had, had automatic climate control and even after we took it in and apparently had it’s module re-flashed, it only worked KIND OF better than it did before. Meaning it went from “doesn’t work” to “sort of works”. Other than that, the rest of the car was fine, overall, and we didn’t have any other issues…

It didn’t show up during the test drive. I also had heard of the issues but thought they had been fixed. The rest of it was a combination of it being my partner’s top pick at the time, and the best-equipped car for the price they were willing to sell it to us for. We were going through a tough time and our only…

They are programmed to creep, but that isn’t the best to do. All DCT vehicles have Hill Hold Assist, though, so they shouldn’t be rolling backward unless you let off the brake and don’t give it any throttle.

The OG 6-DCT in the 1G Veloster, the current 6-DCT in the Hybrids, and the 7-DCT in all N.A. vehicles, are dry clutch.

We owned a 2016, and put about 12,000 miles on it before we traded it away. Everyone thought maybe by that model year the kinks would be worked out. Nope.

Yep, I know. I got my Informed Delivery scan of the card about an hour before this article popped up. The previous resident also seemed to have one, because I got a card for them, too.

I think one more thing people forget about, when it comes to COVID19, is that the birthrate in the US is down, so like many other “Late Stage Capitalist Countries” (like Japan), our population will skew toward the elderly end of the scale. Meaning as the years roll by, MORE people will be in that “vulnerable” group.

Well then, do us all a solid, and get out there and get that Herd Immunity going.

We all kind of figured the OG Eclipse Cross was the beginning of the end...

Tired Jalop Trope.

You haven’t seen the plethora of articles out there about KIA nicknaming it the “Sell-U-Ride”? The damned thing is selling like hotcakes since Day One.

The Palisade sales are slower simply because the Telluride is the looker of the two, and that seems to override the notable-but-small differences between the two.

Neutral: Breaking the habit of buying off Amazon, by default.

Depends on sales and model spread, yeah. They basically try to balance out their manufacturing.
