For the EQUS car to get my respect it has to do this new fastest sedan lap time on nurburing(<dont know if its misspled sorry) , Have a unrivled interior better than mercedes and the cts v, have at least 500hp,


well to put my comment short it would have to beat the cts v in every way to earn my respect if not



I am one of those quote Gung Ho American muscle guys I wont be caught dead in a hyundai no not because the Hyundai quality thing,

...I just don't like the looks of Hyundai's i have seen the genesis and genesis coupe in person.....Nothing special

i sat in the 370 that is the nicest foreign car to bad it is only a 2 seater and i am 100% committed to buying the camaro

3.8 V6, 4.6 V8, and 5.0 V8 direct injected 400+hp. There is talk of a possible 5.5 Supercharged V8 in the later model years.

Come on I know its a camaro message board, but do some of you have to really be that biased? I know everyone has their own opinion and sometimes people (even me) say stupid things sometimes, but this amount is really ridiculous! If you dont like it fine, but dont rant on about s**t trying to justify your point without any source! And stating it stupidly! Im just getting really sick of this. I come on here to get enlightened on cars and all I get is immature crap coming out of some of you guys.
100% agree.

I guess it looks nice enough. Just think its maybe a bit too pricey for the nameplate. Then again, I never thought that I would see the day where Hondas were selling for 40-50 grand LOL

that might be because "elantra" has an "l" in it, and many oriental languages don't have an "L" sound.
that's where the whole "godzirra" and "engrish" thing came from

at least that's my guess as to why it has a different name over there
