Not to this car nut, they are definitely not credible at all. Period. Done deal. End of story. Over. Out. Go Seahawks against Dallas!

“Bryan Says: October 24th, 2009 at 3:23 am
The top 2 on your list are the only two credible carmakers on there, IMO.”

Most ridiculous and misinformed comment in this thread.

So Honda, Mercedes and Porsche aren’t credible? Please.

GTFO.

The LED Lights that will light up behind the Piano Black Trim are white.

The piano black trim is far too much and already looks awful. What a fingerprint magnet. I would have chosen a different material, or just used less of it.

Regardless, this is an incredible vehicle.

Looks nice but what it cost? Or how much will get deleted by marketing group?

Shiny Plastic is like an IPOD/Cell Phone thing. Its intended for younger people. Plus the shiny plastic has a useful purpose, to allow the LED Interior lights they have behind that shiny plastic to shine.

I can see a lot of company boss’s 24 Year old sons driving this thing with bling rims, along with a few young professionals, and people who work in the services sector making better wages than most.

Also by the interior it doesn’t look like a high segment car.

On the dash instead of the shiny plastic, they could’ve used some brushed plastic surrounded with chrome on the edges, that’s what I thought it’d be before seeing these pictures. Disappointment.

Only now Thai-o-ta is running scared. Has anyone else heard of the runaway LS350 from San Diego. A CHP Officer who was on his off-time driving a loaner Lexus with his family couldn’t stop the thing in crowded SD streets and crashed and burned, killinh him and three of his family. Very sad case. He couldn’t brake the car to a stop, they were going 100+ mph in crowded streets. Stuck accelerator? Or the matt got stuck under the accelerator and that caused the high stuck speeds. People have blogged that he could’ve pressed in the start-stop button in for 3 seconds and the engine would’ve stopped. Or put the stick in neutral and braked to a stop off the road. Or turned the key off. Oh, wait, it has a button start-stop. Thing is, he shouldn’t have had to face this out-of-control acceleration problem at all in the first place. There are 9 other incidents of bad accidents with Thai-o-ta’s since 2000 in court. Faulty electronics, some are wondering. Thai-o-ta CEO has said he’s very sorry to the survivors. Thati-o-ta’s in trouble, carnuts.

@Greg.
Sorry, but your opinion is not clever.
Produce various vehicles in ONE LINE, that is the common sense of auto industry.
cost reduction.
If Hyundai-Kia completely seperate each other, then, production cost is double.

If Hyundai-Kia must work cost effectively, if they seperated, then, they can’t compete with rival toyota.
Remeber, Lexus produced by Toyota line. For example, Toyota Avalon, Lexus ES produced in Japan’s Camry factory.
Do you know Toyota? Go to read any toyta book. Toyota is King of ‘cost-cutting’.
Even mighty American Big3 crushed by this Japanese ‘cost-cutting’ production system. You may heard toyota’s Kanban, Kaizen, Just in Time…

So what about Hwasung? They make the VG, MG, XM, TD and HM. Hyundai and Kia are getting too ‘friendly’. Hyundai needs to manufacture Hyundais, and Kia needs to manufacture Kias. If they intertwine in manufacturing, then they might as well just make ONE LINE of each car and call themselves Kiundai. What is the sense of making two of essentially the same car on the same line. How stupid. So, does guangju make any Hyundais right now? Last I knew, they made the AM, UN, KM, and trucks and busses. What is the fate of Sohari? What is made there? I thought that the JB aand VQ were made there. Hyundai-Kia needs to leave their manufacturing facilities making the vehicles they already are. Let Ulsan make the Hyundais. Let Kia stick to their plan of making XM, VG, and TD in West point, or is Kiundai going to be stupid enough to move Santa Fe manufacturing there?
