| Dispenses buckshot medication for all undead patients. | They used to say the same thing about Toyota and Honda, but they have both done well in the luxury car market.

What I'm interested in is the specs of the BH. They already have a 3.8L V6 with 263 hp; I'm curious as to how much power they'll be able to get out of the V8 they're planning, and whether or not the BH will have rear wheel drive. EDIT2: It apparently is going to be RWD! I found a thread with loads of spy pics here.

Hmmm I think that the Toyotas of this world should look over their shoulders, may be not now nor in 5 years time but give 'em 10 years and I am sure that they will be there or there abouts. |

Then theres the biggest issue of brand image...that will take a while to wear off. It did for Lexus and it was lucky enough to have Toyota as a base for its cars. | |

Mark my words, Hyundai is going to be the next giant. They already are into heavy machinery. Their attack on Honda and Toyota will be on all fronts and if the Japanese and Detroit are not worried yet, they should be.

Car: 1997 VW Golf MkIII CL, Giant OCR 3 Rep Power: 58 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | The Korean car makers are really stepping up to the plate. There was a report in The Age before the 'public' motor show began that Euro car makers had been scouring over the Hyundai's, comparing quality etc. This is surprising in so far as two years ago it would have been the Asian's looking at the Euro's for quality tips. It's unbelievable, but Hyundais are no longer just shit econo boxes, they are quite good cars and have been getting relatively good press in Australia. The Coupé, Santa Fe and Sonata especially have been real surprises. This luxury car has the potential to be seriously good. |

![]() Hyundai has a huge financial background, so even if their first attempt should fail, they will try again very probably succeed in placing a luxury vehicle. | |
