Oh no! Dang... the original guy seemed like a real go-getter. I'll have to research if he's still around and in what capacity for which business.
I've owned several Hyundais over the years and they've been solid vehicles. This will keep production of the cars in America, which is a great thing.
I’ve had 2 really bad experiences. Never again. And it’s not just about the product. It’s also about the after sales.
Well my personal experiences speak a lot different. Product and after sales experiences included.
Kia is part of the Hyundai group, so while they are separate just as Rolls and BMW, Chevy and GMC, they are part of the same corporation, which is Hyundai.
As someone who rents cars constantly, I found over the years Hyundai has improved greatly in quality however the cars feel like they age very quickly. By that, I mean given all rental cars are late model year fleet vehicles and you have some distribution of encountering anything brand new to something a little older than that, older Hyundai cars are especially worn inside, almost as if it's not quite built to as high of a standard as some other manufacturers, car classes being equal.
While the methodology used to rank a vehicle can have a massive impact on how it is ranked, Genesis tends to rank very high in owner satisfaction and reliability, and Hyundai's recent N division shows they are willing to take financial risks to do something different, and so this is not something that surprises me. My guess is it comes down to manufacturing capability, manufacturing capacity, R&D capability, and willingness to take more financial risks (well, calling this a 'risk' probably isn't the right term, but you know what I mean...it's a new type of collaboration that will almost surely yield a new type of car.)
Let it be a mid-engine, twin-turbo 2 liter hot hatch with a six speed manual. A modern day Renault 5 Turbo.
Production line is where a lot of issues come from, and Hyundai isn’t know for their quality.
actually thats a great choice. Currently Hyundai is one of the best car manufacturers on par or bit lower than Toyota. Who else do you suggest? German cars that break within 3 years? American sedans that disappeared from the market?
New comer Chinese? A British manufacturer? Jaguar maybe?
last I heard Hyundai gives 10 year guarantee.
Not unless you know something everyone else doesn’t. The Apple Car will be the Apple iPhone of electric cars. Hyundai would be the Foxconn of Apple Car.
You’ve been here long enough to know that a good portion of posters here are nothing more than apple-hating trolls, paid or not. The ignore list makes things almost tolerable 🤣
Just because Apple is working with Hyundai doesn’t mean we’re going to get a Hyundai Sonata: Apple Edition. Hyundai just knows how to make cars. It’ll be designed by Apple and manufactured by Hyundai.
It will not be designed by Apple. Apple can’t even design a charging mat, let alone an electric car. The only thing that will be designed by Apple is the autonomous driving tech.
