I sat in a Hyundai Sonata and Azera for the 1st Time Tonight

I was helping a friend car shop, and just out of curiosity took a peek at the Hyundai Sonata and Azera.

Neither was on his list, but at any rate, I am mighty impressed with the build and material quality of both of these cars. Amazed, actually.

If the Azera had no badging, and I didn't know what it was, someone could EASILY convince me it was a Lexus or Infinity. It was a black one with black leather and the wood on the steering wheel and dash.

I can't believe how far Hyundai has come.

He's implying that you should have felt dirty because you were inside a Hyundai. Probably not because he thinks the car is actually dirty inside, but just knowing that you allowed yourself to do something that was so morally reprehensible.

Ya know, like sleeping with your cousin or something. The shame doesn't wash away. Trust me.

I'm getting old.

My back hurts when I get in and out of my 8.

The Azera was supremely comfortable.

I do not feel dirty.

Do you happen to live in Brooklyn, New York and suffer from severe ADD?

No.

That guy is an *******.

I told him what I thought of him in post #95.

I love my RX-8; I'm just getting to be an old fart.

Also, you gotta understand where this comes from. Hyundai released some of the cheapest looking, biggest pieces of crap cars ever when they came to the US. While they have since made some huge strides, there's still a bit of a bad stigma on Hyundai. I think it was probably meant as a joke.

Yeah, Hyundai has come a long, long way.

I really wouldn't be embarrassed to drive one.

The only thing I would worry about is the resale value.

They've definitely come a LONG way. I'm guessing they'll be the next Honda if they can keep their reliability up. They've invested in a lot of process reengineering so that they can build cars cheaper using quality parts.
