Its like when VW tried to get into the high priced car market, only worse cause its Hyundai

LarkVille · 02-18-2009, 01:21 AM

^Probably talking about the VW Phaeton. That car started at $60,000 or something didn't it...epic fail.

Wow.

I feel so bad for those brain deads who are going to actually buy a hyundai for almost 100k.

It's $100k if you convert staight from wons to dollars. But Hyundai sells all their vehicles cheaper in the states than in South Korea - it'd probably be around $50k here.

For example, the Genesis is 58 million won in south korea which is about $57,000 US dollars - but the Genesis actually starts at $32,000.

Here are some official pics (not renderings) from Autoblog - I think the car looks pretty good, for the market it is targeting.

The day i saw how brutally obvious it was that Hyundai copys the design cues from other companies, was the day i decided never to buy a hyundai.

common. Seriously?

Id sue.

But it was a hella nice car. A coworker of mine almost bought one he said it was the nicest riding car he'd ever been in. And as his first car was an Audi A6 3.2T he bought himself for his birthday, and the fact that his been in ALOT of really nice cars. I'll take his word on it. VW should have just used that car as a higher end Audi, might've done better.

On topic though, Hyundai are the Design Pirates of the auto industry, and now they're just DP'ing Buick.

sry i had to.

Apparently the op posted pics of a Hyundai Genesis (according to my friend)

Agreed it would have done much better as an audi because no one wants to spend that much on a VW, it just doesn't shout luxury.

Hyundai is much worse though, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, I think of them as the Elantra, or the Accent. Anyone who would pay that much for a Hyundai is crazy.

you guys are so pathetic.

A lot of cars look similar to others, and the camaro borrows a lot from various other cars.

'69 Camaro and current Corvette are what come to my mind.

AngryAmish · 02-19-2009, 09:01 PM

LOL pretty much summed up my argument. Rather grab that new Buick then that for half the money.

It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
