would you pay 100K for a hyundai?

People bought the GTR when it cost over $90k when it first came out due to all the mark ups and its a NISSAN so the possibility is there.

I think its a little soon for hyundia though, maybe another 5-10 years...and from the looks of the concept its gonna take that much time to perfect the design.

True, but the GT-R also has 40 years of lineage and a proven background. No Hyundai model can make that claim.

My issue with Hyundais in general is a philosophical one; they didn't necessarily have to work to get where they are. It's easy to stand on the shoulders of innovators and reverse engineer your competitors' efforts; it's something entirely different to come up with groundbreaking designs and technologies that their Japanese counterparts pioneered before them.

But I must give credit where it's due; progress is progress. Anyone who's driven an early 90's Hyundai can attest just how far they've come.

100k Hyundai? Maybe with someone else's money. .02

The NAME has that background, but what does the platform/engine/driveline have?
