civics and corrollas start around $14k, they're planning on $7.5k. I think they can definitly hit up people who are stuck on getting a new car that don't have alot of money.

lets not forget when toyota and honda first came to the US, they were POS cars with terrible quality also. it took decades for them to get to where they are now. Hyundai is on the same path.

I was talking to a friend of mine over this issue over dinner one day. and thats right, hyundai is on the up and up ever since they got a new CEO for US. I think in the end, China is gonna pwn everything and everyone. So many people and their country is barely starting to open up to capitalism.

In articles, they dog the styling of the car, but truthfully, what do you expect for 8 grand?

I would still buy a used Honda or Toyota over it, but for those that want a new car, this could help them out. Arent entry level hyundais and kias in the same price range though?

shoo, for about 1500 more you could get a bare focus. In this case, I would definitely buy a Ford.

The only loss youd experience is loss of pride not looking as good as I do in it.

aaight, no more comebacks from me until your jokes at least get a smirk outta me. I think you're using Jay Lenos fired writers.
