like most other brands they are improving every model.

Big deal..in countries like Aus, they have no appeal due to what they offer. If they built for a wordwide market things might be different.

The give us shit, we know its shit...It is shit.

I don't consider any of Hyundai's new product generic. A Camry is generic.
This is what cracks me up from the new Hyundai fanbois. A Camry is boring and generic, but the new Hyundais are enthusiast masterpieces. Right. It's just the same appliance in a different wrapper. A shinier wrapper, but still covering an appliance.


If you told me I could get a car that looked as good as a CLS for a third the price and had all the room of the Passat CC with better reliability and warranty, I'd say that is a great package.
I don't want a copy of a copy car.

I don't know about you, but almost every member on s2ki needs to get to and from work, and doesn't need a sports car to do it. Hell, going to work in an s2000 for me is damn near unpleasant.
And that's fine. Hyundai makes a perfectly good appliance now. But let's not all get crazy and say their appliances are some awesome wundercars, while Honda/Toyota/Ford/Chevy/whomever's appliances are inferior. Hyundai appliances are now more or less as good as everyone else's appliances. Good for them. I don't really care to go out of my way to buy appliances, so that doesn't really mean anything to me.

C'mon, you're killing me here.

You think a Sonata looks as good as a CLS? They're nowhere near comparable. I've seen the Sonata in person and it's nowhere near as flowing and attractive. Why? Because it has less of a compromise for looks than the CLS does, so it doesn't truly have near the swoopiness. Yes, I know looks are subjective but if you put a Sonata next to a CLS, you'll pick the CLS every time.

Then you have the room of a Passat CC, which isn't particularly great to start with.

Then you're claiming reliability of a car that's been out two months. Yes, Hyundai is much more reliable these days but you're talking about an all-new chassis and engine so they will have to prove themselves on this particular design.

Stretch much?
