^honda would give toyota a run for their money in that department
its not enough that their new managment scrapped the s2000/nsx and also refuses to put the hsv into production but they insult us by calling the crz a crx reincarnation
the cars they were still making managed to get worse...dbl wishbone too mac strut on the integra/rsx ruined the car for me

After watching that, I'd honestly buy the Hyundai. Amongst all the other reasons, I honestly think it looks better (although Bentley has never been my style). For those concerned with the image of the brand, just de-badge it and tell people it's an Equus Ultimate, a luxury import. Quote:

Plus they're releasing that new 86 with Subaru. Nissans got the G37 and 370z, and even the new Altima looks pretty good. Sadly Honda's the only one dropping the ball (and I'd even love Ford if they'd release the "good" Focus and Fiesta here) Quote:

At least you don't have to manually attach your cupholders when you want to use them, wtf is up with that in the Bentley?

As long as companies aren't blatantly making carbon copies like some Chinese brands, it's fair game.

Look at a 1G Celica and tell me it doesn't resemble something that should hold a big block V8 straight out of Detroit...

LS starts $96g i believe, fully loaded max at $140g but that also depends on the engine size
regular LS460 semi fully loaded is around $110.
urAnd in canada it'd be more like $87g fully loaded plus taxes. So you pay nearly $100g for this bullshit lol
| ur comparing a 100k vs 140k? really?
*edit actually ur right, its very comparable, and i would get the comparable equus and save 40Gs Quote: |
If no one wants to pay $80g for an RL, what kind of crack is hyundai smoking thinking they can mark up their shitty car with a $90g price tag.
| so from the two choices, u would rather by an RL than the Equus?
Would u rather get a BASE 5series or an Equus? because for u a 40G difference is considered the same level. Quote:
hyundai accent starts $10g
fully loaded is $20g
go look it up
| I just looked it up.
a hyundai accent sedean starts at 11.8k and ends at 16.8k. Quote: |
a base 335i vs a fully loaded 335i is EASILY $10g difference
| Obviously u have no knowledge on prices. a fully loaded 335 vs a base 335 is not 10k differnece. LOL
For 5k differnece on a BMW, maybe u can get bluetooth, xm radio, and a garage opener... lol
dont make shit up -.-

well not everyone can afford the LFA or the 86 that isnt even out yet. Im saying why cant they build two affordable coupes like a corrolla coupe and a camry coupe to compete with other cars, like you said the ball is in their court with honda not having decent sport cars anymore

(more useless "cool" options) in fact they even offered equus "limo" longer wheel base versions and they still sold quite a bit with about $100,000+ price tags.. what im saying is since koreans drool over import brands (hell some even drool over pt cruisers..) i was surprised to see the equus sell alot.. instead of most of them thinking like Mugen Evolution and buy a 5series bmw or E class benz..
and if you go to seoul kangnam or any urban areas.. i say its about 40% import vehicles and 60% korean cars not including taxi's and work trucks etc.. | I don't think basing a comparison on "kangnam" area is exactly a worthy statement. That's like going to British Properties and saying most cars there are European made.
?!?!?
Regardless, there's simple more at hand to why the Equus sells like hot cakes besides from it's price/feature set. I saw a metric-shit tonne of them when I was there.

The genesis is one of the only entry level rwd coupes available and now they have this luxury car.
I wonder why they didnt follow toyota/honda/nissan and create a luxury brand? That would fix the badge issue and get some good publicity. | Oh they're taking risks and going into new territory. http://www.revscene.net/forums/2012-...c-t627191.html
Just doesn't seem like a step in the right direction. At all.

All of you morons miss the point behind the Hyundai. The target market is not consumers but businesses. They will be used as fleet vehicles to shuttle customers/executives around. You don't want to be pulling up in a large MB/BMW/Audi to pick up a customer because then they'll think your company has lots of excess $$ to buy luxury cars rather than give them the best prices. Company owner will have the bentley tucked away as his weekend car that the customer doesn't know about. It's part of the grand charade in business.
