Well lastnight, i was watching some tv and their was an add for the new Hyundai Sonata, well first not really paying attenting i tought it was the new honda accord, well was i ever wrong, once i saw that hyundai symbol, im like ohh man another car company copying honda, look at the pictures below, the whole back end of the Sonata is a copy of the 04 Accord. Tail lights couldnt be more of a match, the side mirrors the same look honda uses, even same kind of rim design i mean its pretty sad that you have to wait a year and then steal the ideas of a wonderful car maker like honda, and put them into your new Sonata. I think thats pretty sad, it just shows that another car company is looking up to honda.

 

Don't knock a car you haven't driven. My wife will probably be trading in her Accord for one.

 

Gee, no one has ever noticed this before. Basement.

 

Yeah it sucks man, I actualy saw one Sonata with Honda and Accord badges. First I tought it was the 06 Accord but I saw the Wheels with the Hyundai logo and I said " what a Jackass"

 

I noticed it the first time it aired as well. Shady stuff IMO.

 

No, you didn't.


Billy Madison moment:
(I know from experience..

No, you don't.

Yeah, but I know this guy and him and her got it on!

No, they didn't.

Yeah, but just imagine if they did!)

 

You could also look at it as Hyundai moving up in the market. I'm sure they want more of a market share that the Accord already has.

Over the years, Hyundai as a company is doing better.

 

I cant see someone putting Honda logos and badges on a brand new Sonata? I'd have to see that for myself..

I think the new Sonata is ugly, minus the taillights. Hyundai has always copied off of other manufacturers. The last gen Sonata was a rip off of a Jaguar..

The very first Hyundais (which was the Excel) were the best, IMO. Elcheapo materials, but they had a 1.5 liter Mitsubishi engine and were based on the Mistubishi/Ddoge Colt, Mitsu. Mirage/Eagle Summit and that bunch. My dad bought one brand new in 1989. Traded it in in 1998 for his truck. Never had an engine problem with it in the 180,000 miles he put on it.

As much as I dislike Mitsubishi automobiles, I have to say... their 1.5 liter proved to be a little workhorse.

 

:rofl: I would have to agree...I don't see that happening

 

Well I have actualy seen it! and that guy works in the mall somewhere cause I have seen that car in the Mall parking lot very often. I will try to take a picture and post it, might get in trouble with the mall security but I will try the next time I see it.
There are some stupid people who do that IMO.
