Replying to: stockmanjoe (Dec 10, 2005 12:00 pm) With your reasoning you should be still buying Americam cars because the Japanese cars were junk a few years back A few years back??? LOL I would say that Honda and Toyota have a solid 25-30 year track record. I also don't recall saying anything about American cars. Hyundai has a 90 day initial quality track record. Also, the first generation Honda's were superior to their domestic counterparts right out of the box....Honda and Toyota didn't build junk for 15 years like Hyundai and then all of the sudden decide to be competative. So I ask again, why gamble with an unproven product with a terrible previous track record compared to a track record that is second to none? Based of the 2006's that I have seen at auction already their resale values havent improved any. Maybe someday Hyundai will build a car that is a top quality product...but at this point they are still second rate compared to their Japanese competators.

Replying to: audia8q (Dec 10, 2005 1:19 pm) You don't remember the Toyotas of the 60's and 70's in the US? They were very badly made. "Made in Japan" was synonomous with junk. It took quite a few years for them to improve. I am glad they did because the competition is welcome. Also Hyundai has risen to 7th in the world now in sales number way faster than any other company. People are seeing the over priced status of Honda and Toyota and responding to it. GM and Ford did not fall overnight and neither will Honda and Toyota but at the rate they are going they will indeed fall.

Replying to: stockmanjoe (Dec 10, 2005 1:43 pm) Could you please stop taking these discussions wildly off-topic? We're discussing the Mazda6 and the Sonata here, not Toyota's sludge issues nor "Made in Japan" nor GM nor Ford nor any of these other extraneous subjects you are dragging in here. Feel free to find appropriate discussions on our News & Views board for these comments but please stop trying to take all of these sedans discussions way off topic. Thank you.

Replying to: audia8q (Dec 10, 2005 10:23 am) Hyundai's track record has improved over the past few years but they still have terrible resale values and very suspect long term durability...with so many proven quality carmakers available I wonder why somebody would take a chance? Well, I guess I'm willing to take that gamble, and since we're talking odds here, I like my chances of having my vehicle covered by a warranty for the entire time I'm paying on the car (plus a few extra years to boot). Not saying it's likely to happen, but if a CamCord happens to poop out after 4 years~tough luck. As far as resale values go, you've got solid evidence about the past, but the future is looking much better for Hyundai, so their resale values should improve significantly.

Replying to: blnewt (Dec 10, 2005 8:43 pm) Though I don't agree with your thinking I understand where your coming from. I like Alfa's, so I know all about less than perfect track records...LOL
