Eg: DO NOT TAKE LITERALLY! IF I GET QUOTED FROM THIS YOUR ARGUMENT WiLL BE INVALIDATED! I Hate Hyundais, no car in particular from the Range, they're all cheap and nasty.
To tar one range with the same brush as their weakest link can be a foolish mistake, if we did that to a prestige brand like Mercedes, you'd have a SL55 AMG being percieved as lowly as a Vaneo.
See what i'm getting at here? The Hyundai Tiburon is a fine car, but since we all relate it back to the Hyundai Range, involving the Excel/Accent and Elantra, then we have a problem of perception.
If your going to hate a car, fine. Give your reasons, and stand behind your belief. But hate an Entire Brand, and you hate all their history, all the good things they have done in the past, and the good they may well do in the Future. Give it 20 Years and BMW's, now percieved as cars for young-upstarts and slightly rich people indulging in solitary pleasure Cough*WANKER!*Cough, excuse me..... they'll become regular family cars. The same can be said for Hyundai, give it 20 years and they may well have earnt our respect, like the Japanese before them.
The fact is, every great range has a skeleton in it's closet, and every poorer one has a shining light hidden under the mediocre bushel. Judge on what the cars are, not where they come from. Otherwise your nothing more than an utterly annoying character who perhaps should not be talking about cars.
This goes for all "BMW IS KING"...."NO WAY, MCLAREN F1 BEATS ALL DOWN!" people too.
it's about time someone came out and said it. you're right, you can't put down the entire brand just because of one car.
