you think i haven't heard all that? As a company SALES, hyundai ain't too shabby. I know that and I awknowledge that.
You realize that Honda=Acura and Honda as a company is treated here different then Acura. No way in HELL can acura be tied with hyundai for quality. Honda also produces Motorcyles, ATVs, F1 cars, electric wheelchairs, lawnmowers.....in the world not just in Korea. They are the first hand innovaters in clean car technology. And no matter what kind od those "www" or hard facts you bring in, Honda's technology and passion for the quality car will no be beaten. I have yet to see any car that is engineered like NSX that can produce such specs with mere c32b v6 motor that poduces only 280bhp.
Wheres hyundai's Hydrogen powered car? Humanoid robots? Does hyundai's car use the least gasoline possible in gasoline fueled car? Where's world's best LEV or NGV for your almighty hyundai?
Best yet, I have yet to see Any AWD or RWD stock production cars that produce above 200bhp or more here in US. Hyundai has yet to make anything that seems impressive. The day hyundai makes such a great chasis for mass production car that can compete against EVO, STI, ATESA and make such an engine to accompany such technology, then I'll shut up and give hyundai props. So I guess not in at least 20 years.

Hell----o
TIB V6
2.7-Liter, V6, 24-Valve, DOHC, MPFI Engine, Front/Transverse Mounted With Horsepower Of 170@6000, Torque Of 181@4000, Aluminum Block and Cylinder Head
TIB I4
2.0-Liter, I4, 16-Valve, DOHC, MPFI Engine, Front/Transverse Mounted With Horsepower Of 134@6000, Torque Of 132@4500, Cast Iron Cylinder Block and Aluminum Head
Stang GT

Hmm lets do some simple math
You aid you have i4? 134bhp vs. 260bhp, 260 torque vs. divide that by half....
oh sorry I forgot your intake and exhaust and your bored throttle.
intake give or take 5-7 bhp assume you get good set up, exhaust anywher from 3-10 bhp, TB not too sure, but mainly high end power.
Well no rocket scientist is needed for this.
Next time race something like RSX, Type S, TSX, hell NSX to see if dumb Honduh is that crappy. Stop racing stupid ricer boy in civic or old integra. The GT You gotta post pics, Dyno, timeslip cause you're one of those typical "I beat !@$!%^ in my tib! u'all Haters'"
as for the warrenty, I do not know. And not much I can say excpet it is a good sounding warrenty. But how come I haven't seen much NEW tib in here at all?(I live in OR) I saw 350Z more then new tib. If they are so great and cheap, why aren't people riding them?
What hyundai needs to do is come up with a unique technology like VTEC, NSX like honda, Rotery for Mazda, Evo for Mitsu, Supra for Toyota....American companies like Chevy got corvette, Dodge got Viper... Hyundai got no Flagship cars.
Hey as for sales and all, Hyundai sain't shabby like I said. I see this won't last unless Hyundai realizes that company needs something unique rather then copy the trend of the auto market.
I ain't going to shut down everything, so I know Hyundai can make a difference. But not until you get some intelligent marketing and innovative technology that sets your foot solid in the automotive world, you guys are still floating without a destination.
