Of course these are in the mix. We like them, I lean toward the Stang, she liked the Chevy better but she likes the Veloster N more. Theres always gonna be something faster so we are going for smile per mile.

The Chevrolet Camaro has definitely improved a lot since the 2010 when the 5th gen Camaro was introduced. I could not say the same for the Ford Mustang but the Chevrolet Camaro is quite reliable for an American vehicle that is and are enjoying to drive like the Ford Mustang. The body style of the Chevrolet Camaro looks very nice. I would purchase an American made vehicle before I ever purchased a Korean made vehicle though. Like one of the members on this wonderful forum said before Korean vehicles are like Korean women they don’t last long. Why support the Korean automakers??

If you want a four banger turbo.

Let her drive the 2017-19 cayman S....She will forget your her BF and date the salesman!

I don't understand the hate on the Korean cars. My wife had a Kia Spectra that she beat the hell out of for 90k miles, and then gave it to her dad for another 75k miles. It's been flooded twice. Everything still works. I haven't had to replace anything too out of the ordinary on it beyond scheduled maintenance. It's not a good car, but it's a solid car especially considering how cheap they are.

That being said, every time I turned a wrench on it I marvelled at how many corners they cut to keep it cheap. If Honda used a stud, Kia uses a bolt. If Toyota uses two bolts, Kia used one. If Nissan used one bolt, Kia used a plastic clip. It was DOHC, but there was only one cam gear. It was magnificent how Bare Minimum the whole car is.

I guess I must have lucked out - we have a 2011 Accent in our fleet at work - almost 250,000 trouble-free km's on it, and it gets the crap beaten out of it (construction). People forget it is not a pickup truck. They also forget to change the oil until the low oil light comes on!!!

As far as support, I guess it goes both ways. Why support American made cars if you live anywhere else on the globe? I guess we should rule the Camaro out up here since they moved production from Oshawa (and previously Quebec) to the states. And if you're looking at a crew cab pickup you need to choose a Titan over anything with a bowtie on it ('cuz all GM's come from Mexico). It's a funny world anymore, and I respectfully suggest that the time for that kind of thinking has passed.

That's really Kool. I think it's a nice car. Beautiful steering wheel and seats. Hyundai is showing some balls. The coupe is next from Hyundai... Hoping so. I can't wait... Even if I don't buy a Hyundai in my future? I'm just happy they're trying to show love to the enthusiast market. Their rate of evolution is legendary. Go Hyundai!!

Im waiting for the next coupe too. I hope they get something public soon. Rumors are the 3.3 turbo is going in with AT least 400hp. We shall see.

Am I the only one that finds the humor in this question given we've all purchased a Japanese (foreign) car?
