I can't believe it!

I just saw a commercial and they were like it has 260 hp, CVT, somthing somthing and has more interior room than the BMW 7 series...

Well at least when you click on the comparison link, they list the comparable cars as the Buick Lacrosse, the Ford Five Hundred, the Nissan Maxima, and the Toyota Avalon.

But just for giggles, take a look at this comparison:

Cloth seat: Hyundai - Standard; 760 - n/a; M5 - n/a = Hyundai Advantage - think of all the cows BMW kills to get leather seats

Bore x Stroke: Hyundai - 3.78 X 3.43; 760 - 3.50 X 3.15; M5 - 3.62 X 2.96 = Hyundai Advantage - my pistons are bigger than yours!

They do have a twisted sense of humour (logic?)!

I rented one recently through Hertz. I wanted an upgrade to their "Prestige" collection (hoping for an Audi or a Land Rover) and they put me in this crap. It was the Azera "Limited", no less. I didn't know what it was at first and as I walked up to it (at night no less), I didn't think it looked so bad. Hell, it even had dual exhaust. HAHA! I then got in and drove the thing around. It was so bad that I considered turning right around and opting back to a Taurus. This car sucks and the power is nothing to brag about. If you ever rent from Hertz and they try and sell you on this car as an "upgrade", stick with the Taurus. Just my 2 cents...

You must not have seen the comparison to the 760Li and the M5...how could that car suck? It wins in so many categories!

Gents - it's a HYUNDAI! Yeah, so it has leather and wood trim. Yeah, it has a rear sunshade. Yeah, it has dual exhaust (which it shouldn't b/t/w). Big whoop! It's still cheap inside and by no means even close to German engineering. No way. If you don't believe me, go rent one. Or better yet, go test drive one. Hahahaha! I can just picture you pulling up in your 5'er and the sales guy thinking, "what the f*&k does this guy want with a Hyundai when he's driving that thing?!?!".

I'd rent the new Ford 500 over the Azera. It's not worth the extra cash as an "upgrade". Put me in an Audi or a Jag for crying out loud...not a Hyundai! LOL!
