Yeah that's very true, the 340 is one of the best deals points for pound and I also didn't go with a GSF since an A8 is just so much faster for 1/2 the price. Plus I wanted a flagship....

So now even getting your car recalled and hopefully fixed doesn't guarantee it will not catch on fire again. Just not a good look.

Good thing Hyundai and Kia are done with ICE development. Hopefully their EVs will be better.

Yeah! Every once in a while he introduces a new animal. Wish he'd share his entire laughing animal folder. Lol

The CCP conspiracy claim is especially hilarious from someone who continuously promotes some questionable Vietnamese car brand with ties to their government.

This thread is basically finished.

Ah yes, more trolling from the one who shall remain nameless.

Hyundai, Kia and Genesis have different sporty models that appeals to multiple types of people, including many on this forum that own both Toyota and Lexus autos.The N series Veloster, Elantra and Kona compete perfectly with the Corolla GR, and not only offers Manual transmission, but excellent high performance wet clutch DCT transmissions that have been praised by every reviewer. Also because they have vastly different styling between the three cars, they offer something for different types of people.

I'm really not sure why you are so hostile to this brand in particular. There are brands I really don't care for, but if other people buy them, it really doesn't bother me

You can't be serious? You're comparing a bunch of Korean FWD "sporty" cars to Japanese RWD/AWD sports cars?

And the hostility towards the brand in question is much deserved. I have no respect for a brand that have failed time and time again to fix the same problem.

Nothing from Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are safe from vehicle fires.

One of those "Japanese" cars you mentioned is actually German (and it's actually fast, I'll be damned), and the other is built by Subaru, you realize that, right? 99.9 percent of Toyotas and Lexus are fwd, you realize that, right? Every Honda except the S2000 is fwd. Anyway, I've already made my points, no need to rehash yesterday's news.

Oh, and I'm dead serious
