Well, Hyundai can...

I could only see Hyundai getting worse over the years to come. The worst most unreliable vehicle I ever owned was a Hyundai Azrea I would never purchase a Hyundai

I could only see Hyundai getting worse over the years to come. The worst most unreliable vehicle I ever owned was a Hyundai Azrea I would never purchase a Hyundai again. Hyundai’s resale value is one of the worst in the automotive industry right next to Kia. I found that there are a lot of parts that are not covered with the Hyundai warranty on their vehicles. Why support the Korean economy? In my opinion the looks/body style of the Hyundai Veloster leaves a lot to be desired. Nissan is getting into the Hybrid/electronic vehicle market and is more aimed this direction than performance. Fortunately Nissan will keep the Nissan GTR model but unfortunately for 370Z enthusiasts the 370Z model will be discounted in 2020. Hopely Nissan will come out with the 400Z or similar performance vehicle to help keep Nissan in the performance vehicle market. We have yet to see what Nissan/Infiniti will unveil to the vehicle market in the next year or two?

Only time will tell, a lot of people said the same thing about Toyota and Datsun when they started importing cars and other products to the US. In 2020 I will be 78 and I'm pretty sure I will be just fine with a car that will drive me around, LMAO. But until then I gonna burn up some rubber in my old outdated 370z!

Why support the Korean economy? Well, because it isn't the Chinese, perhaps?
What device did you type that on, because I'll bet it was made in one or the other! LOL.

I'll respond to your anecdote about reliability of old Hyundai product with my own - my wife's old Pony was her favourite vehicle next to the 370Z. Reliable as hell, and drove through the worst blizzards, too. Sadly, it was prone to rust. But those were disposable cars just like the early Datsuns were in their day.

I think that Hyundai and Kia will continue to emerge as automotive stars for years to come. They've made huge strides in reliability and respectability of late. As long as they don't blow the momentum, I think that companies like Nissan need to watch carefully over their shoulders. While Nissan is faffing about with batteries, they might well be overtaken by a Korean 2 litre!

I think a bunch of the hyundai hate goes unjustified. They certainly aren't the same car company 10 years ago. The Veloster was in my top 5 when I was car shopping. Trust me no manufacturer is perfect but my how Hyundai/Kia have come a long way. I see nothing but absolute progress with the Korean car brand and they will undoubtedly be around for some time. They have made a little something for everyone and that is rhe appeal. Plus a solid warranty and fair pricing...it is a hard bargin to pass up.

It's a solid car man...love or hate Hyundai/Kia they really have stepped it up and pushed the envelope. I think that with the strides they're making other manufacturers need to just take a little look and see that not all people want a cross or hybrid.

A good suv is cool...but not all of us need that crap in our lives lol some of us just want an exciting car at a reasonable price. I know some have been burnt by Hyundai but c'mon man who hasn't been bit by a manufacturer or model...that Stinger is a solid vehicle. The Veloster is another example of a decent little hatch. Takes me back when people we're doing everything possible to a crx.
