$60,000 Hyundai coming soon
 

It looks really nice and eerily similar to the Lexus LS. I don't know though. I mean if you have the dough to buy a 60k car.....I'm sure another 10-15k isn't much more for the Lexus...

I think Hyundai should take things gradually. They should see if the Genesis can sell a lot of units first, prior to introducing this model.

$60K for a Hyundai....uhh, let's take it one step at a time.

But go Hyundai, the Genesis coupe is nice, but the 370 still trumps it.

While in Korea I saw a lot of these on the roads. One of my Korean friends said the owners mostly use it to get driven around in. Most be nice if they are plunking down that sort of cash to ride around in the back.

I like the lines, but I think the grille needs to be a little smaller, sort of over powers the front end of the car.

Meh it may end up like the Volkswagon Phaeton. It's a great car engineering standpoint but I had a friend pick one up used 6 months ago for 24,000$ and sticker price for that model was 80,000 in 2006.

Well at least this Hyundai doesn't look like a Passat.


I guess it's not too much different for 100K+ SL55's selling for 40K used.

It'll be very interesting to see just how well Hyundai is able to do in the coming years. With projected sales increase of 69% over last year they are confounding their competitors when everyone else is looking at how to stay alive or break even let alone make a profit. Nissan is looking at an overall 15% drop in sales this year over last.

I'll give Hyundai some credit. They have built a quite impressive car company here. But I'm sorry I would never pay 60k for one.

Same thing that was said about the GTR...Nissan is nutz I will go buy a ??? this instead. Then it was, where do I sign. I am not a fan of Hyundai, but we shall see what this vehicle is all about.

well that still works out for me, since I wouldn't buy a GTR lol.

I'd buy a GTR, but not this lol

^But GTR was formerly known as "Skyline," thus it already had a reputation built up. People had no doubts that it was worth every penny if not a steal for what it could do.

yeah there's a point, and a Hyundai still remains a Hyundai thus it already had a shitty reputation. People had no doubts that it's not worth a single penny and 60k is a steal for what this could do. :p

Hyundai still has a hangover on them

Doest really knock me out, but good luck to them.

I wonder why they just won't create another badge like Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, etc.

That's an interesting point. I know when all the stuff when GM was going down, they discussed how having various brands cost them a lot of money, maybe Hyunndai is avoiding that so they can keep lower overhead, which would be smart.

that is a good point... separate the budget cars from their high end series

that costs lots of money, probably a few 100 million $ over some years.

I do remember reading an article about why Toyota-->Lexus. It's essentially this, Toyota never had a reputation for building shoddy cars, whereas Hyundai did. Since Toyota already had a solid rep it was easy to transition to a upmarket brand. Hyundai f*cked up their rep by building rebadged Mitsubishis that were unreliable junk when they first started here in the U.S.

It's difficult to convince people of a new image especially after you had a bad rep.

Cost is the reason why hyundai hasn't created a luxury brand. Believe it or not but it cost a lot of money to set up new dealerships. Japanese cars were not seen as well made cars when they were first introduced in the states. That perception changed as the japanese made better cars. I would say the first hyundais were pretty crappy cars, but today they make pretty well designed and built cars. Check out the new 2011 Sonata.

:iagree::iagree:

I don't care if hands come out of the seat and give me a dual handy, I would never pay 60K+ for a damned Hyundai

LMAO I sort of agree with you BUT on that note would you pay 62K for a Nissan? The one in question the GTR.

Yeah, not a damn hyundai though, lmao

True

"What you think i'll let you roll around in a hyundai!"

oh no... another freakin F&F quote, lmao

HEY HEY HEY don't be hatin'

I don;t know what is worse me knowing that or you knowing where it came from.

True luxury car= German

That's all I'm sayin.

Thats the CTS-V right? That thing looks great!

You got it!

If I needed a 4 door sedan right now that would be a consideration.

After deployment I'm looking at getting one. Very nice, very fast. I'll still keep the Z though. :)

i wouldnt mind seeing how this works out..

as bad of a rep hyundai has.. over the past few years ive seen more n more hyundais

i think 60k is a lot for the car, ima check it out in person and maybe test drive it :D
