Replying to: fedlawman (Jun 28, 2009 11:49 am) You have got to be kidding. Maybe Toyota should dump the Corolla, Honda the Civic, Ford the Focus, Nissan the Sentra, VW the Jetta etc. also?  There is room for both the Genesis and Equus in Hyundai's lineup, just as there's room for the GS and LS in Lexus'. They are far enough apart in price and design to attract different buyers.

Replying to: backy (Jun 28, 2009 2:55 pm) By the way, anybody see the new reliability rankings? Elantra is one of the top cars on the road in initial quality, regardless of class. Seems to me the marketability of that claim would make this a particularly silly time to deep-six it.

Replying to: backy (Jun 28, 2009 2:55 pm) Wow, I had no idea there was so much love for the Elantra!  Actually, I didn't realize that the Elantra was Hyundai's Corolla. I was thinking Accent = Corolla/Civic and Sonata = Camry/Accord. I forgot that the Corolla and Civic moved upmarket a few years ago to make room for the Fit and Echo. My bad. "There is room for both the Genesis and Equus in Hyundai's lineup, just as there's room for the GS and LS in Lexus'. They are far enough apart in price and design to attract different buyers." I never said there wasn't room for both. I agree with you.

Power and Associates announced today that Hyundai is the highest ranked non-premium nameplate in the 2009 Initial Quality StudySM (IQS) and is ranked fourth among all nameplates. Hyundai owners had fewer problems with their vehicles than any other non-premium car or truck brand. In addition to Hyundai’s strong overall showing, the Hyundai Elantra earned the award for the highest initial quality in the compact car segment. The all-new Hyundai Genesis significantly outperforms the average midsize premium car. This year’s ranking marks the second time Hyundai has been the highest-ranked non-premium nameplate in the last four years, and the second time it finished among the top four overall nameplates, having also achieved these levels in 2006. Highlights this year include a top ranking for the Hyundai Elantra in the compact segment, and a top three segment performance for the Hyundai Accent, which ranked second in the highly competitive sub-compact car segment. The IQS study measures 228 attributes, including the overall driving experience, engine and transmission, and a broad range of defect and design problems reported by vehicle owners. “Outperforming all of our competitors once again is a reflection of the dedication of all Hyundai team members,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai's President and CEO. “We’re particularly delighted with the strong launch of Genesis, the North American Car of the Year, which surpassed several luxury competitors. We are also thrilled with how well the fuel-efficient Elantra and Accent scored.” Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif. is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company of Korea. Hyundai cars and sport utility vehicles are distributed throughout the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced by more than 790 Hyundai dealerships nationwide. |

Page, 97, Long Term Update, Genesis. "10,012 Miles It would do Hyundai good to tear apart an XF [Jaguar] and examine its springs, dampers, and other suspension bits in detail says executive editor Joe DiMatio." |
