Although appealing to the eye, It looks like a Mercedes E class, a BMW 7 series and a Lexus did a three way. Not impressed!
I think if any group should be sympathetic to Hyundai it should be GM fans. You say you can't get past memories of awful products from years ago, yet how frustrating is it when people say the same thing about GM? Lets be honest here, GM had decades of poor products, poor management, poor quality, and poor reliability. Those days are behind them, and Hyundai is doing the same thing. Far be it from us to ignore another brand that has done the same thing our favorite brand has done. So lets celebrate rising from past mistakes and moving on to current greatness. Perhaps a joint win for the Camaro and Genesis in recognition of these parallel paths?
