Replying to: kingsalmon (Oct 12, 2007 1:03 pm) You don't have to tell me about Mag Lights. I was one of the people who introduced them to the world.   But using Maglight as an example, I would much rather have a Maglight with a 90 day warranty than a Korean flashlight with a lifetime warranty. I know it would be VERY unlikly tha Maglight would ever give me trouble.   Maybe FORCED was a strong word but they HAD to do SOMETHING in an attempt to build a bit of confidence in what had been a pretty lackluster product. It was a smart (and necessary) marketing move.   I'm sorry you had such a troublesome Civic. This is normally NOT the case.

Replying to: isellhondas (Oct 12, 2007 1:31 pm) There is not one car manufacturer on the face of the planet that doesn't have at least a few disgruntled customers. Having said that I base my buying decisions on what I know first or second hand about a car, it's manufacturer and the dealer.   Kingsaloms Civic experience would not deter me from purchasing a Civic or other Honda product. But if I knew of someone first hand who had these troubles, I would really give the purchase pause.   I agree with your above assessment, BTW.

Replying to: kingsalmon (Oct 12, 2007 1:03 pm) Hyundai wasn't forced to do anything....   ...People still prefer to buy Honda's over Hyundai. So therefore Hyundai dealers are FORCED to lowering prices below MSRP and selling for way cheaper than Honda's.   king of counteraction?

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Oct 12, 2007 9:30 am) and in my view   that this is precisely the point. Its YOURE view. Not everyone's criteria is the same for a vehicle and both the sonata and accord cater to 2 different types...come on its obvious isn't it? at least if you been reading all of the pages and pages of this thread...   though looks don't matter much to people all the time, the Sonata's body design wins over any Accord built from any model year by Honda. Just does. Plain fact. And no, Hyundai isn't copying the Accord. There are so many design differences in the two cars that it's really a silly argument.   lets anazlye this, if looks don't matter, why does it matter if TO YOU the sonatas body design wins over any accords ever? Isn't that statement just an OPINION anyway?   Hyundai themselves admitted they benchmarked the accord. Heck all you need is eyes to know it, its not a big deal, as kdshapiro mentioned that 'copying' isn't neccesarily a bad thing, but even hyundaiphiles will have to admit that hyundai DID get a little more than just 'inspiration' from the accords design.   To through in my own little bit of .02, NO hyundai ever looked as good as the Cb7 (91-93) accord.   Without mentioning a Kia Optima in this thread. Even once   that was once.

Replying to: kdshapiro (Oct 12, 2007 1:48 pm) If a person were to read the "problems" forums on every car on the market, they would throw their hands up in the air and buy nothing except maybe a bicycle.   Or they would rely on public transportation.

We seem to be done with Accord vs Sonata so let's wrap this up. If any of you would like to continue the debate about the manufacturers, please look into the discussions on the Auto News board.
