Replying to: gagrice (Jul 04, 2007 7:49 am) But those cars aren't luxury level. I think Hyundai can compete okay with the cars you mentioned, but not with Lexus, MB, BMW, Audi, etc on the top end, was the point. Can you sell anything for $70,000 with a Hyundai name on it?

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 07, 2007 5:58 am) I don't think of the ES350 as a luxury car either. It is luxury in name only. More reason for Hyundai to offer a high level of sophistication in cars like the Azera and Veracruz without adding a luxury nameplate.

Replying to: bumpy (Jul 03, 2007 5:45 am) The Hyundai dealerships I've seen are stand-alone facilities, though I don't doubt there are some multi-brand sites still around.   Bumpy,   The Hyundai dealer in our small city, population 30,000, is also the Mazda, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan dealer while the Kia dealer also sells Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury.   A majority of the Hyundias and Kias on the road in these parts are the low-end, entry-level products. I doubt if a "luxury" Hyundai would fair very well in our area.

Replying to: urnews (Jul 07, 2007 9:36 am) Yeah, we have a Hyundai, Pontiac, Buick, GMC Subaru dealer over here. Up the road is a Nissan-Kia-Cadillac dealer.   I have trouble with the concept of a Hyundai luxury car but it wasn't that long ago I had trouble with the concept of Hyundai producing a vehicle that I'd go check out if I were in the market. They've got several now. Replies to this message: carguy58 (Jul 11, 2007 7:08 am) fezo (Jul 11, 2007 7:41 am) carguy58 (Jul 11, 2007 7:58 am)

Replying to: fezo (Jul 10, 2007 3:28 pm) "Yeah, we have a Hyundai, Pontiac, Buick, GMC Subaru dealer over here. Up the road is a Nissan-Kia-Cadillac dealer."   There's a dealer that sells Nissan's and Caddy in the same delership? I never heard of those 2 brands paring up in the same dealership before. I have seen/heard of a couple Nissan-Kia dealerships paring in Jersey though(where I live.) Replies to this message: fezo (Jul 11, 2007 7:41 am) carguy58 (Jul 11, 2007 7:58 am)

Replying to: carguy58 (Jul 11, 2007 7:08 am) I'm in Jersey, too. This is in Toms River.   To be fair I think the Cadillac part is its own building. The guy with the Buick-Pontiac-GMC has that in one building and the Hyundai-Subaru building across the street. They all used to be one dealership but he's grown considerably.

I think I remember seeing the Buick-Pontiac-GMC dealership on RT 37 too.
#60 of 4206 Hyundai Veracruz Initial Quality Observations by carbuyer11 Jul 11, 2007 (8:15 am)
Since the 3000+ new Veracruz owners are really "early adopters", I thought it would be useful to begin a post that allows us to post your experiences with initial quality and how responsive the dealers have been in correcting any problems. I was in a similar situation 2+ years ago when I purchased one of the first 2000 Honda Ridgelines to roll off the assembly line. I joined an on-line owners club that allowed everybody to share their experiences. Despite being a Honda, there were lots of initial quality issues (most of them cosmetic). I learned a lot from other owners' experiences and these learning helped me when working with my selling dealer.   For the record, I've had no issues so far with my Veracruz (a little under 1000 miles and 3 weeks of ownership). So far, Hyundai is living up to their recent track record for initial quality, one of the main reasons I took the plunge.
