I don't know. But every Hyundai I've driven has flimsy material. Everything Korean is flimsy in general. For example the doors used in all Hyundai's is extremly light and unsubstantial. And their plastic wears out very quickly.
If you want ultimate quality look no further than 80's Toyota's. Thickly molded plastics, dampened interior controls, many electric features such as heated wing mirrors and most importantly velour interior upholstry. Top notch quality there.

most hyundais are pretty much average in terms of overall execution and build quality. some above average. some probably below average. but saying everything is flimsy is just flat out wrong. and plastic wears out very quickly? my friend drives boring 07 elantra and it still looks exactly the same when he bought it. it's ugly as hell, but plastic inside is remains intact. i don't see much wear and tear.
attack on Hyundai in this board is ridiculous. It's so blatant.
what are you thoughts on nissan's quality? how about mazda? Mini? and tell me about domestics. i want to hear it.

Looks like someone is getting antsy.
You'll notice in the second image how even the wheels are knockoff BMW wheels as is the general headlight shape and how it incorporates into the bumper and hood. And this my good sir, is a BMW body copy pasted. Plain and simple:
So it's very easy to see the design process for this car. Hyundai designers very very likely had a BMW or too in their studio, and their boss was like "I want this car, but I want it to be a Hyundai". So the designers essentially designed a BMW, then added their own Hyundai bits too it, like that Audi copy grill and that A7 roofline. Oh wait...

ok, enough of this copying thing. There's only so many ways you can reinvent the wheel, and a sedan, CUV etc.. will all share similar profiles and design elements. But unless it's a blatant Chinese copy, these are all just styling trends automakers use when they know society is "hot" for it. Recycled designs, new trends sell. The fact that the Genesis exists is reason to applaud. It's very robust with it's powertrains, drive configurations and upscale-ness. Do I believe in Hyundai fluff? No, but compelling vehicles like this drive the competiton to strive harder and produce better products for the consumer.

Like their HP & MPG numbers, they've scaled back the false MPG numbers. I mean if they falsify MPG numbers than obviously other numbers are also fudged LOL
And regarding Samsung their only advantage is TV. I bought a Samsung TV last year only because that was the best one at the time. (Better than Japanese) but if I was in the market today for a TV I would probably most likely choose the Sony 4k TV, it has incredible picture quality at a very good price.
And Samsung phones are the worst. The galaxy phones are incredibly flimsy and cheap, not only that but they also have a heavy lag and stutter problem.
Which is why I got the Sony Xperia Z1. It is superior to every single Galaxy phone which are all OVERRRATED
Guess which one is Korean

There seems to be a misunderstanding of what a "knockoff" is. Many cars have "similar" attributes. Some can say that part of the car looks similar to a BMW or Audi, or whatever. A knockoff is not similar, it is an exact copy. A 5 series knockoff cannot be distinguished from the original when the badges are removed, unless you look very closely. It's like a fake Rolex, an exact copy. I have never seen a car manufacturer knockoff another model in this country.
i have a samsung note 2 and one of those really thing cases on it, and it's been completely sturdy and reliable. your sony is certainly a nice phone though.
