My issue with Hyundais in general is a philosophical one; they didn't necessarily have to work to get where they are. It's easy to stand on the shoulders of innovators and reverse engineer your competitors' efforts; it's something entirely different to come up with groundbreaking designs and technologies that their Japanese counterparts pioneered before them.

But I must give credit where it's due; progress is progress. Anyone who's driven an early 90's Hyundai can attest just how far they've come. 100k Hyundai? Maybe with someone else's money. .02
The NAME has that background, but what does the platform/engine/driveline have?
