In this case you'd try to post and nothing would happen. So you'd click Post again. I wound up posting the same message about 10 times over in Inconsiderate Drivers this morning without realizing it, until the glitch cleared up.
 
I haven't heard what exactly happened but it seems copacetic now.

Having an 06 Hyundai Azera and the experience (great) with it, I was leaning toward the value delivered by Hyundai.
 
I had never been in a Hyundai until we rented an Azera over Thankgiving. I came away quite favorably impressed. It was very solid and rattle free. The transmission response was a little sluggish I thought, but it was a very nice vehicle.

Go GM.
 
They've been having some hits lately. All they have to do now is not overshoot this huge demand. GM finally has a product that sells like a Honda (supply just meets demand). The Acadia doesn't have a lot of incentives either.
 
I have said I like the Acadia more than the Enclave, but at the autoshow I finally saw two near each other, and that Enclave looks pretty good...

A plug for Edmunds long-term blog. They have a Veracruz, CX-9 & Acadia for there long-term blogs, so here's some more info from different drivers. From what I've read on the Veracruz, it seems good on the surface, but down deep it's still a hyundai.

I had different experience. I have never thought that Hyundai doesn't hold a road, until I got for rent Elentra, they didn't anything else. What a piece of ..... In first place I thought it's something wrong with steering, I came back and exchange for another one, but same result. I don't know who's buying this cars, probably have not driven anything else in their life's.

Man, your grammar sucks, can barely understand what u are trying to say. I on the other hand have had a great experience with my Hyundai.

let's paint this a little more accurately;
 
now all they have to do is re-engineer it to get the weight out of it and come up a more efficient powerplant to take into account the new cafe regs. if they would have put it on a diet in the first place that would one less task on the list of things to do to stay competitive and conform to evolving regulations that they all seemed to think would never get here with all of their lobbying, whining and such.
 
so call it hits on some fronts and falling squarely on their face in others.
 
that's also not to say the others aren't faced with the same tasks ahead just to varying degrees.
 
looking forward to the chicago auto show to finally sit in some to see what all the hype is about around here for all of them.

to equate the elantra to ANYTHING that hyundai has on the dealer showroom floor in 2008 is just plain silly.
 
let's think about this I got to rent a few J body & geo gm cars here and there and you can't tell me they were much better than an elantra. does that have any bearing on the lambda's of today that you so admire, NO.
 
not that I'm running out to buy one but they all have their strengths/weakness' and you simply can't apply that false logic to any of the CUV manufaturer's at this point in this day/age.
 
escorts, glc's, corolla's, civics, j bodies, rabbits, they all blew to varying degree's. rust, poor fit, finish, lousy materials, the list can be made for each.
 
try again Vad.

Or not, that'd be ok too. An experience with a compact car from one company has nothing to do with that same company's new Crossover. The Saturn Ion is a piece of Crapola as far as I'm concerned, but it doesn't mean the Outlook will be.
