you loved that sonata so much you triple posted!

haha j/k

yeah i tested a sonata as well and it was really nice. My 2006 sonata is still really nice though. with the v6 it hauls.

but then again, i only tested the sonata because i have self respect and am not a bigot.

Lol I love forums, you have a opinion and are automatically labeled a fanboy by guys who just love to throw the term around. Too funny, unsubscribe.

If a mass-murderer can inspire the development of a vehicle that morphed from being "economical transportation" to the platform that the most winning-est automotive name in history has used to dominate automotive sport, by and large, then I am not counting ANYONE out just because of their roots.

Ferdinand Porsche designed the car for ol Adolf. So basically Porsche's are all derived from Nazi sleds.

People bought the GTR when it cost over $90k when it first came out due to all the mark ups and its a NISSAN so the possibility is there.

I think its a little soon for hyundia though, maybe another 5-10 years...and from the looks of the concept its gonna take that much time to perfect the design.

True, but the GT-R also has 40 years of lineage and a proven background. No Hyundai model can make that claim.

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?

I first noticed Hyundai making improvements when my friend got an 06 Tiburon GT V6 right after we graduated high school. It was beating everyones Civics, RSXs, and tCs... And it was quieter inside and more comfortable.
