Hyundai cars served me reliably for 16 years, but I can understand where you’re coming from. They’re like the Denny’s of automotive brands. You don’t set out to get a Hyundai, you end up in a Hyundai.

Hyundai also has a I30, too.

Ehh. Understandable.

@Background Pony #1392
I have no idea. I’m not a fan of Hyundai, Kia or Genesis; so I don’t really follow them.

The only I30 I’m familiar with is my dad’s 2000 Infiniti I30, and it’s just a fancy Nissan.

I was talking about if they were sold in the us from 2011 to 2016 (Like the MD Elantra and GD I30), what would the name for the I30 Coupe be in the us?

@Background Pony #1392
The closest we in America have to those are the Tiburon and Velostar. But being as those are still Hyundais, I personally wouldn’t want one.

Interesting thought:
So, obviously, we had the Elantra coupe, Elantra Touring (I30 Wagon) and Elantra GT (I30).
Assuming that Hyundai sold the I30 3-Door (coupe) in the us, would it use the Elantra GT name?

Tomica?

I just learned that Zimmer sunk in 2020.

Today, I finally bought and took delivery the dream car of my life!

@RD4590
Where I live they’re a bit pricy, and I want a manual 4x4. Those are $10,000+

@The magic 🅱oi
What’s holding you back? They cost nothing.

One of these days I’m going to get one of these

@RD4590
I’ll take a photo the next time I see one.

@kleptomage
Being in America it could also be Austin Healey.

Well, I’m surprised. My plates and stickers actually arrived when the dealership said they would. They sent a thermos too, as some kind of apology gift, I suppose. That’s sorted out now.

@RD4590
In summer I occasionally see cars like the MG in the background. Or they could be Triumph cars. I’m not entirely sure. In any case, it’s always nice to spot unusual vehicles.

Here’s a juiced up MG B, with a 3.5L Rover V8. It was a flop because the original MGB has a 4-pot, and the chassis couldn’t handle the V8.

Goodwood Festival of Speed will feature MG’s 100th anniversary this year.

@RD4590
The vehicle is all right, but Kia dealers earn their reputation.

@kleptomage
typical

I bought the Kia Sorento about a month ago. They didn’t put on the plates at the time of purchase. I got a postcard about 3 weeks ago that said the plates were ready to be picked up and I sent an email to the address on the card asking them to mail me the plates because I don’t feel like wasting a couple hours driving. A week went by with no response or plates. I sent another email last Monday. Still nothing.

I called the dealership and they said they mailed the plates today and they would come in two days. I don’t believe them. The timing is too suspicious, but what can I do but wait?

I should have never bought a car from that sleazy Kia dealership. If I had bought that truck I liked from the local Ford dealership, I bet I wouldn’t have had to deal with them losing track of their paperwork, this runaround with the plates or that scumbag in finance trying to trick me into taking a worse loan as if I don’t know how interest works.

Bloody hell what sort of mutation has happened to its front.
I can see a Dacia Sandero, a Ford Raptor and a Range Rover Velar all in one.

I’m sorry I brought even more abomination.
This is Li-Auto Mega. I’m sure you already know who they copied right?
What’s worse, this is probably the most expensive production van in the world, ¥600k, about $85k/£‎66k. AND IT’S A VAN.
And those reviewing this rubbish is obviously on the pay roll. In one line this dude said “It doesn’t have soft-closing doors but if you close it gently it still closes without making a noise”, and now it’s a meme.

Oi nice! They finally making them Triton/Strada looking good now.

@kleptomage
Me neither, I’m just sharing some cars that might somehow emerge in the western world and why you should run away from it.
