Replying to: travler (Feb 06, 2006 3:13 pm) Not all the time. Many times you are just paying for a name. To give an example, I started a leather goods company one time, we made wallets, purses, bags and the like. Well we produced a purse that looked similar to a coach handbag (not a knock off just similar) at 1/6th the price. But we had better materials better stitching, all around better. What did you get for the extra $250? The name Coach. A $7 steak is still a $7 steak. While that may be true, but if the $7 steak is better than the $21 steak its still better regardless of the fact that it costs 1/3rd the price. The Sanota isn't junk, but it sure isn't an Accord or a Camry either. I know some ex-honda owners that will disagree.

Hey...what about the Fusion in all of this discussion? On this subject, I think it beats all three on style & youthfullness...whatever that means. But I think the younger car buyer would rather drive a Fusion then a Sonata, Camry or Accord. I think of Sonata's & Camry's as "family" cars. Sort of the same with the Accord. But the Fusion looks and feels more like a sports sedan. Put AWD on the Fusion and you'd have a real hit. But the other 3 will be more popular with older families.

On the other hand, look at all the people who passed on purchasing Honda and Toyota products in the early stages of their success, and look at what they missed! Essentially the same virtues that both offer today, with the exception of improved resistance to rust and corrosion and enhanced safety features. I remember the days when the average car buyer wouldn't ever consider buying a Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, et. al. Times change, and perhaps, just perhaps, Hyundai is in that "early adopter" stage as well. A good, solid, quality-built, and reliable vehicle available at a more than reasonable price. Only the next 5 or so years hold the answer . . . The first Toyota I purchased was in 1968 - a Corona. And, my local dealer (a MG-Austin Healy- Jaguar-Triumph-Fiat-Toyota-Siata dealer) sold it for less than invoice just to move it off the lot! My engineering friends thought I was nuts for buying a Japanese car, as they were all driving VW's, Volvos, or Detroit Iron. Funny, the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same! |
