actually being a car enthusiast is about being respectful of all cars and understanding that cars are built for purposes and reasons other than the ones that matter to you.
Aka Hyundai didnt set out to make a PURE sports car. They wanted to make a sportier car that most people could get. Thus the 20k price point vs 30k on the z. The 4 seats vs 2.. etc. Obviously, we here on this forum are the exception to the people who need 4 seats. Its also why you see the biased opinions.
If you were truly an enthusiast then you would appreciate what Hyundai is trying to do and where they are headed, not bash them based on their reputation from 15 years ago.
The Hyundai Sonata's have been great everyday sedans. Comfortable, quiet, better equiped and priced than the competition by car. How is that a bad thing? As an enthusiast you would also want competition in each market to help better every brand.
So yes, I know many enthusiats who drive Hyundai's. I know people who traded in corvettes for a Sonata. Their priorities in what they need and want change, doesnt mean their idiots. I also know people who traded in Hyundai's for 370'z.
Personally i'd say the 370 could do with some good proper competition (non-muscle cars) and then we can see where that leads to in 5-6 years.
P.S in terms of "cheap" korean junk, i hope you don't personally own any samsung, LG, etc products. Heck actually or anything manufactured in China, so then need to give up that Iphone stuff too. (Korean manufacturing > Chinese in terms of quality)
