    Congrats on the new ride! Just picked up the woman's new car yesterday. Got her a 2012 Hyundai Tuscon Limited with the luxury package. Loving it so far. Hyundai is really impressing me these days. Of course, I'm already shopping for mods.

    Chopper - How does the car know who's its owner? Do you have to voice print ID or something?

    Hyundai has come a long way, they have great vehicles! We test drove a Veloster when they first came out, it was having a tranny issue.......but Greg (Orion on this site) still ended up with an Elantra and man it is loaded and nice, feel like I am in a Lexus! Technology I tell ya! Even my new Mini is just amazing, when I DO drive my VX it feels sooooo old ........and I JUST let Greg drive mine 7/4 after having had the Mini for about 6 wks, and he didnt even 'get on it' when I told him he could since the break in is over......

    Congrats Wayne on the ride!!!

    Hundai has a Sonata Hybrid. They also offer diesels in other parts of the world. Hyundai announced plans to produce 2,000 units of fuel-cell car for lease in the global market.

    If I'm Toyota or Honda I'm terrified of the day those options hit the American market.

    One word. Equus. I have not driven it (they would not allow test drives without an appt), but I tore through it with a mag glass and loved every detail. If I gave a hoot about luxury, I would honestly consider this over a MB or Beemer, ESPECIALLY for the price. It isn't a world cheaper, but it is cheaper, and clones just about every aspect of every luxury car you can think of.



    Hyundai has stepped into the shallow waters of the luxury market, and dabbled with the Genesis sport coupe (though it falls steeply short here), so they are totally in it to win it. We all laughed a decade ago, but they just may be laughing tomorrow.

    Yeah, they all laughed when the Serbians sent over the YUGO, but look who's having the last laugh now.... Well, WE ARE, of course!!
