would you pay 100K for a hyundai?

JACKPAC · 07-12-2011, 10:52 AM

On the other side of the coin, if 20 years ago someone asked you if you'd pay $90,000 for a nissan you would of said, hell no! Now you're all on the GTR band wagan. You never know what they will be as a company in 10-20 years.

10 or 20 years from now a lot could change, but right now i also will not pay that much for a hundayi not because its a hundayi but simply because it is their first attempt plus i could get a car that is proven and has a history a legacy instead of a car that has none at all

also, i bet if they bring this car to the market, it will have no hyundai badging, and 99% of the population will have no idea it's a hyundai

the viper didnt say "Dodge" anywhere on it.

Funny, I wonder how people feel about "Japanese sport cars" back then when American and European cars were THE cars to own.

I applaud Hyundai for this endeavor. The direction they're taking to their cars really outshines Honda and Toyota. If they have a car that competes with a Porsche or GTR, that's just putting themselves 2 steps above Toyota and Honda. I'm getting tired of the "just enough" feeling while Mazda and Hyundai has been bumping up their $50K< segments.

Where do you see a $50k Mazda in the market??? Maybe when they come out with the RX-9>>...remember Mazda is the only Japanese company to win the ledendary 24hour of Lemans in the ledgendary 787B 4-rotory

If Hyundai can put out a $100k car that can compete with the GT-R and 911, it might help motivate Nissan/Porsche to further develop their own cars and make them even better. I'd say that's a win for everyone

Seriously, the new 2012 Hyundai Genesis should influence Nissan to start putting a V8 powerplant or turbo option to the Z and G =P

That or at least do something to improve its performance. Not just the Genesis, but the 2011 Mustang GT should influence Nissan as well since it must be stealing a lot of potential Z sales.

if it has the sophistication of the GTR and 911 for $90-100k and has a 100k mile/10 year warranty, it should do very well. my dad just got a new sonata and it's a really nice car! they really have come a long way!

nuTinmuch · 07-12-2011, 02:33 PM

I am actually a big fan of most of Hyundai's new cars. They are really good, and I'm excited to see where they go in a few years.

Econ · 07-12-2011, 03:34 PM

from the WSJ today:

"But today Hyundai U.S. Chief John Krafcik shared a curious bit of info that seems almost implausible. The brand also seems to appeal to the very wealthy.

American Express Centurion Card holders – those people who are rich enough that they are offered a “Black Card” with a nearly unlimited line of credit and a host of other niceties – buy Hyundais at a disproportionately high rate compared with other cars. Indeed, 6% of Black Card holders say they have a Hyundai in the garage. That’s tied with Bentley and Audi. Others on the list: BMW is tops with 22%; then Mercedes with 21%; Porsche with 15%; Lexus, 11%; Ferrari, 8%; and Acura, 7%. That puts a lot of interesting brands below it."

VQStryker · 07-15-2011, 03:07 AM

IF I had that kind of money, I would honestly get the R35.

on a side note, if they make the car I look forward to seeing how it performs.

90 ST · 07-15-2011, 10:47 PM

i almost went for another hyundai. They have stepped up in many ways the last 10 yrs. i personally would have no problems buying another one...maybe not the first attempt of something, but i wouldn't buy the first attempt at any new car platform, no matter who makes it. Now they've played with RWD and seem to have done a good job first time out, the 2nd gen Genesis should be very interesting.

when I was waiting for my NISMO, the dealership gave me a 2010 sonata to drive around... it was awesome... really comfortable ride, I liked the stock stereo, it was really quite nice... it had some balls too... I told my wife, if we were in the market for a sedan, we would have to really consider the Sonata.
