would you pay 100K for a hyundai?

FL 4Motion · 07-26-2011, 10:48 PM

I wish Hyundai well with this, honestly, cause if they hit a home run, all the other companies will take notice and improve their offerings.

BUT, I feel like they're jumping the gun just a hair. Before they bring a 100K sports car to market, maybe they should move up to a 50-60K car and compete against the vette etc first.

Then, if they are successful, gain some respect from the masses for that, it's not so much of a jump to then bring out a 100K competitor to the GTR, ZR1 etc.

No doubt, I'm sure pretty much every manufacturer has a few of their competitiors cars in their stable. When the R35 GTR was being developed, nissan was driving a couple 911 turbos along with their prototypes at the 'ring.

If the next gen genesis coupe comes with that v8 of theirs packing around 400 horses under the hood, the Z will really need to step up to the plate.

I agree. People are going to look to the Genesis to see how Hyundai has been doing. So far, it has slotted in beneath it's competitors. Maybe they are going to rely on decisively superior 'ring times/magazine numbers and first-impression upon seeing the interior?

they're going to have to. What else will they be able to bring to the table? No competitive racing pedigree ala corvette, porsche, GTR; no name brank recognition (same examples). they will have to soley rely on having an honest to goodness awesome example of automotive engineering.

Honestly, i don't think they'll get it 100% right on the first try, but if they get 85-90% of the way there, they'll def put everyone on notice since their next gen will def be a huge step up if their history is any indication.

Pretty much what's happening with the Genesis coupe.
