i am glad these cars exist to make my middle management and other executives happy for the money they pay, its probably same price as a loaded up camry , so as long as the mass population is happy, they will be in good mood = better mood at work = better quality of work = good results for my company = i get more money to buy a M5 .....

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?!?!".

What's that saying? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Yet another copycat trying to hard to emulate a proven industry standard. Sure, nice car @$24K or whatever, but please, it purporting to be in the league of BMW???? Please.....................

Laugh all you like guys, BMW would kill for Hyundai's JD Power reliability ranking... I bet you we see a lot more of our dealers than the average Hyundai buyer sees of theirs.

Sure, but that's true for many other manufacturers too. I'll take the dip in reliability before I'd give up the smile on my face when I drive my car...

They must have improved their quality quite a bit because they were garbage when they first came out.
