This was last Friday on Jamboree, between Barranca and Edinger. Manufacturer plates (Michigan). I believe it's going to be released in 2009 as a 2010 model.

They need to follow suit of the Japanese and create a luxury division. No one wants to buy a Hyundai.

Cool

The other day some douche-bag pulls up next to me in the Genesis sedan on some 22" chromed dubs , stares at my car up and down with a stupid lookin grin on his face as if he was driving the most luxurious car in the world.

I don't know what exact Hyundai it is, but there is a BIG black sedan in my complex, de-badged and it confused the heck out of me when I pulled past it. I had to stop my car, get out and walk around this thing to see what in the world I was looking at. I thought to myself, "This car looks like EVERYTHING!"

I saw a little S550 in the front end, some Bentley in the rear - and then the giveaway...the rims had Hyundai logos. Such trickery makes a mockery out of real luxury automobiles.
