I find it fascinating that they have gone from making cars like the Mediocrity (all I think of when I see that generation Optima), to the Stinger in such a short amount of time. The problem is that they made cars like that at all. I personally do not care what brand name is on a car, but lots do and for some the name…

That would be kinda hot too!

Yes there are a few manufacturers that they can probably get a truck from. I think that the Santa Cruz is a great concept and if it is done properly it may be a decent seller, but it has to be priced right. I would think that it has to be priced quite a bit less than the Ridgeline to sell in any decent numbers and it…

That is true. Maybe Chrysler discontinuing the 200 will help with sales a bit.

I am not understanding why they need so many crossovers. They already have the Tucson, Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport. Maybe they can make one even smaller than the Tucson and one bigger then the 7 passenger Santa Fe. Maybe do what Mazda has done and make the entry level car a crossover and eliminate the Accent.

That was when they started getting competitive with the others. I have a friend that has one of that generation now and it has been a great car. 4 cylinder with over 200,000 miles on it. I am pretty sure it may be close or over 260,000 actually. Still looks good in and out without any rust issues either. She bought it…

I think that Hyundai/Kia have their plusses and minuses compared to Toyota and Honda. I live in a rust belt state and if I compared a 2006 Sonata to a 2006 Accord you can almost bet that the Honda will have rust popping in a few spots and the Hyundai will probably not have any. But the suspension components on the…

I will admit that I loved the way it looked when it was revealed. It was different and fresh. The best way I can describe it is, pretty. I still think it looks better than the current generation. Even the interior of the current generation got boring.

I agree with it being better than the Camry. I would probably choose the Sonata over the Camry, Altima, Passat and Malibu. I would not chose it over the Mazda 6, Honda Accord or Kia Optima. If I were looking for a midsize car it would be a hard choice between the Mazda 6 and Kia Optima for me. I would eliminate the…

They are fine. But that is all. They do not have any type of uniqueness to them at all. If you are ok with fine (probably the vast majority of drivers) then they are, fine.

That is an excellent point. I have been to a few Hyundai and Kia delers and they make me want to run away. I can’t wait till the day when I can order my car online and pick it up when it is ready.

Exactly. They will probably always have that reputation. The Hyundai name in general sounds like a Honda knockoff. When it was Just Honda, Toyota and Nissan making competitive midsize sedans it was much easier than it is now. The Fusion, Malibu, 6 and the Kia Optima are all excellent competition. They only have a few…

I love how they are so quick to react and are very extreme in their reaction. American car makers (and other companies) should take note!

I am just amazed that these people did not see this coming. Were they that put out by this whole dieselgate scandal that they felt the need to strip their car. Girl bye!

Nice to see responsible dog owners like you instead of the slaptit in the above video.

I had no idea that this even existed. I would love to have one! It’s a pretty good looking ride.

Why don’t they try something different and make something small, cheap and capable that is more the size of a Samurai/Jimny. There is nothing like that on the road now and with the Jeep name it would most likely be a hit.

That’s pretty damn brilliant actually! Shitty, but friggin brilliant.
