KIA = shit. Hyundai = better than a Ford!

I wouldn't buy the first model year though, that's for sure.

It may be a ripoff in looks, but it still looks pretty nice. I'm all for other brands coming out with good cars, whoever it is.

I am to, but their is no pride in trying to get cars sold through someone else's brand recognition. If you're company can truly make a solid car that deserve the respect and attention of buyers, they should design it them self.

Except every car maker steals ideas from another, they all ended up with traction control, they've all got GPS now, they all have fancy rim packages, etc, etc. So what if their designs aren't designed in house, frankly some of the in-house designs suck ass *cough cough* the Chevy Avalanche, most Fords, quite a few Toyotas and what not.

I think the fact that the Tiburon was styled by Ferrari brings it up a peg or two. Not to mention there really is only so many body styles you can have without imitation.

My only worry is that how much experience does Hyundai have with Tuboed high horsepower cars? There could be lots of problems.

I'm not talking about technology, Everything that is pioneered on high end sports and luxury car's slowly trickles down to the regular car market over time, thats nothing new.

My problem comes from when a company like Hyundai makes a big fancy press announcement about how some time in the new future they will be producing a brand new car, that somehow looks strikingly similar to this.



a Car Mercedes has for sale on the market for some time now.

Hyundai strait up stole Mercedes design and tried to call it their own and that’s not cool. If Hyundai wants people to start looking at their company as more then cheap Korean crap for people who can't afford better, they should look at designing their own car's instead trying to use the superior brand recognition other manufactures have create it over time through their own innovated design.

well, if you think about it, im sure more people would buy it BECAUSE it looks like some expensive executive car when its really so much cheaper.

Everybody is lambasting Hyundai, but look how much the Lexus and Mercedes look like one another! Every car company does it. Hyundai does seem to do it a lot though...
