#13371 of 13380 Re: I gotta admire your devotion to... [anonymousposts] by jkobty2 Dec 08, 2009 (9:47 pm)
Replying to: anonymousposts (Dec 06, 2009 9:28 am) Yes we still have 3 Leganza's in the family, all 3 running very well, original engine and transmission. My friend with the Honda went through 3 transmissions by 90K when he traded his car in, before the lease was over, for another Honda. Some people never learn. But he leases his cars because he is self employed and then returns them, so he does not care what happens after 4 years. I do not look at the brand name, and I am not loyal to any particular brand, I get the car that I like, and I feel is will be good value and looks good. I maintain it properly, and so far have not been let down. I do tend to pick cars that eventually get a cult following. Check out on youtube the Daewoo leganza. Some people even did music videos for their souped up Leganza's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_1e-kcYJkc It is also in Guigiaros page http://www.italdesign.it/dinamic/gallery/gallery_scheda.php?id=316&num_rows=1&fa- mily=p&data_p_title=Giorgetto+Giugiaro   I hope my new mazda6 ends up as reliable, because it surely looks good and is also attracting the same type of activity on youtube.

Replying to: stephen987 (Dec 08, 2009 8:32 pm) ...does anyone else out there think the Cruze is a dead ringer for the Sonata/Optima?   ----------------------------------   I see some similar lines but the Cruze is much smaller and aimed at the Elantra.   Chevy did a nice job with the Cruze and although it's technically a C segment vehicle and doesn't qualify for this thread, it's EPA Interior Volume is very close to the Malibu (110 cu.ft vs 113 cu.ft) and it has a larger truck than the Malibu to boot!
#13373 of 13380 2011 Sonata by jkobty2 Dec 08, 2009 (9:50 pm)
I love the interior on the 2011 sonata, but I think the exterior is a bit busy. The really nice car coming from Korea will be the 2011 KIA K7. It was designed by an Audi designer and you can easily tell from this video, especially the rear lights and front headlight treatements. A very classy car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2AiitnVj5I
#13374 of 13380 Offer me some suggestions please. by scotschool Dec 09, 2009 (1:59 am)
Last Friday, my girlfriend called me when I was driving on the road. I knew that using cellphone while driving is illegal, but that call was from my sweetie. Suddenly, a drunk rushed across the road, I instinctively turned the steering wheel ... My car almost ran into a lamp pole. I really want to kill that bugger! Horrible!!! I think I need a bluetooth hand-free kit. I wonder if any dude here can tell me where I can get a cheap bluetooth hand-free kit. I hope guys who have ever bought bluetooth hand-free kit respond!
#13375 of 13380 What Do You Think of OEM Products? by scotschool Dec 09, 2009 (2:02 am)
A month ago, I bought a handsfree bluetooth car kit at sinamalls through PAYPAL. The moment when I saw the price I very much doubted the quality of the product. You know, the same item is sold 180 dollars at automobile store, while only 65 dollars are needed on SM. Two weeks later I received the product, to be honest, the quality was not bad. LOL…. My brother seemed very unhappy because he spent 160 dollars buying the bluetooth car kit which has the same function as mine, even the out-looks are the same. I suspect that these two devices are from the same Chinese factory since they are many OEM factories in China.What do you say?

Replying to: backy (Dec 08, 2009 8:12 pm) Yes, I think the current Sonata is a good looking design. I think the current Fusion is equally clean and classic.   The new 2011 Sonata is more daring and busy in its design, but I think it's still pretty good looking and is likely to be relatively enduring. It seems slightly more integrated and good looking than my 2008 Accord, but that's probably not saying much.

the new Kia K7 sedan you gave the YouTube link to will be called the Kia Cadenza. And the reason it has the Audi touch to it is because it's design Chief was none other than Peter Schreyer, the Design Chief Kia hired away from Audi Motors.   Now that is a classy new offering from Kia.
#13378 of 13380 kia by benjaminh Dec 09, 2009 (5:08 am)
That Kia is shaaaaarp! What an ad. Cool. Nice styling. Minimalist rather than somewhat busy Sonata.

Replying to: scotschool (Dec 09, 2009 2:02 am) I think you should just buy a new Fusion with Sync. That will definitely fix your hands-free phone issue.

Replying to: scotschool (Dec 09, 2009 2:02 am) Two products.   BlueAnt SupertoothII-Battery, clip on visor, works good, charge lasts very long time. About $60-80 online.   Parrot-Wired into sound system. Works good, different models cost between $150-$250 online. However, unless you're very handy, it can cost $100-200 for installation especially on amplified systems.
