Hyundai does tend to model their cars after other manufactures as far as quality I would buy a hyundai from the year 2k up that is about the time they started making decent cars, my wife drives a 2004 kia sorrento which is the sister company of hyundai and it's a great suv

That "6" is sexy, but I've heard news that's shaken my confidence...



I still prefer the "7" over the "6".

I hate to say it but any man that's going to get into a G35 or 350Z as a daily driver would have to be a little out there if you catch my drift. I cannot see anyone but a female in those cars. Thats just my opinion though.

PS: I'll just take a F430 !! LOL =D

The only thing worse than driving a Toyota would be driving a Hyundai. Thanks but no thanks.

Hyundai better offer a new model, because due to failing sales, they are ready to pack that junk up and send it back to Korea..

i dont see how they are anymore a chic car than the mustang. i havent seen a girl in a G35 or 350Z yet. unless they were a passenger. nothing wrong with 280 hp, 25+ mpg highway and a luxury interior. does that stuff make it a gay car? not flaming, just curious

I have never seen a girl driving either a 350z or G35 couple, either. There are 3 350z's at my work and all are driven by married men. They are all over the age of 40, though.

So you don't think there are some vehicles out there that just scream "chick car"? I won't lie, I thought about a G35 before the Mustang but the looks just scream feminine to me. In my area, it's probably a split between men and women driving G35s and 350Zs. Regardless, like I said thats just my opinion.

After all, no one expects to lose a race to a Hyundai.
Exactly That's what I think makes this idea so cool. Yes, it's not a Ford people. Once you get past that idea, I really think this idea would go over well.

BTW The PT was almost as bad idea as the prowler. Sorry, I call 'em as I see 'em

I'm glad to see a small RWD pocket rocket that is foreign. Maybe it's about time they drop front wheel drive.

I guess Dodge agrees with you. I still think it looks like a chick "car".

http://www.cartest.ca/2007_dodge_nitro.htm

Its appearance is intended to be masculine and aggressive, say the designers, in an effort to make the Nitro appealing to men. Sure, they won't mind selling a few to women, but guys are definitely the target market for this vehicle, and the last thing Dodge would like to hear is the Nitro being called a 'chick car'.

There are two in my neighborhood and both of the drivers are married women.
