But like I said, good for Hyundai for attempting. Everyone has to start somewhere. I applaud their effort and hope they come up with a good car.

I would also point out that the GT-R's transmission had no predecessor, and their failures showed it.
Further, Nissan was pioneering Ford's technology for them regarding the engine in the GT-R, referencing the cylinder "lining". I am unaware of any production Ford vehicle that actually used this plasma transfer process as early as the GT-R. Is anyone else?
