The sad truth is that there are tons of these people out there. Granted Hyundai used to be bad, but they have gone a long way.
I can even admit they they are making huge strides whereas the beloved Honda is falling fast.
But maybe you guys are right .. Hyundai will not take out the major Jap manufacturers, because there will always be those people who cant get over the badge.
Sad.

Back on topic, Hyundai is definitely making strides and has come a long way since their cars of the earlier 90s.

I read somewhere that the 2.0t motor is based on the same global architecture shared with the evo x and caliber srt4 motors. I think the Hyundai spokesperson said the stock internals could handle 29lbs of boost but it was tuned down to widen the gap with the optional v6.

This is strictly YOUR opinion, and yours only. Millions of people think the new Camry is both nice and good. The new Camry is selling more than ever, and it sold a lot before. 
The Tundra isn't a dud either. It's a good, powerful truck.
Honda is falling fast.
Honda is profiting more than ever, and they're expanding into other markets, such as jets, robotics, etc.

He's more or less correct and it's not just his opinion. Toyota has on several occasions admitted they need to get back to the basics and that their world wide expansion has caused their quality to suffer. We talk down about Honda for their conservative and bland line-up but their quality is still there and if I'm not mistaken #1 across most catagories. Toyota has slipped significantly, not including Lexus. They have focused so much on Lexus and their truck line-up that it's inevitable other areas will suffer.
The interior of the camry is more on par with a civic than an accord at this point. It makes almost zero difference to me but I know to a lot of people it does. Toyota and Honda both have had their transmission issues as well.

this genesis is about to be pretty crackin.. read an article in motor trend where they said hyundai is tryign to be the frist to offer a 300 hp car for around 25k. and that's the v6...
However, it would be very sweet if it weighed under 3000 lbs.
