Despite all the crap in this thread, the automotive industry will consider this to car to be a sales success soon enough.

that must be why Camrys (made in your state?) sell so well and are widely regarded as impeccable quality, not junk (even though materials look cheaper these days), and the RX is made in Canada, and same thing.

blackraven, don't make personal attacks and try to avoid the word censor. you can report a post if you think it's out of line. or just respond with your own opinion / facts.

I personally am not totally feeling the exterior for some reason. I think it could use bigger wheels, but it's not anything the aftermarket can't fix!!

But if you really must know, I've soured on it since I bought it.

Anyways, the fact that anyone could still consider Hyundai vehicles to be junk at this point in time is insane. I don't understand why people seem to hate Hyundai. It's a company actively trying to improve its products (and apparently doing a good job of it). What's so despicable about that?

I sense some bitterness here--perhaps because Hyundai is starting to make vehicles of better quality than Toyota/Honda?

I see this as only a good thing. You know, competition and all.

Im starting to get cold to exterior pics...will need to see in person. The interior to me is very very well done. The specs are impressive.

Did I miss dimensions? What is the size of it?

Cars are always $10-20k more here. So a fully loaded V6 Accord is about 41k.
