    Yeah but that's exactly why there are corollas parked in front of their homes, cheap ass million dollar homes.

    you can't afford a nice car unless you're living in one of those three million dollar homes!

    thats why there's a POS e30 and a POS camry in my 2.4 million dollar house

      at least they are starting with a rear wheel drive platform
      The Chinese are comming into the market as well in like 2009... They are somewhat where Honda was in the 60's and 70's, but given that China is the second largest auto-market in the world at this point I'm sure they will begin to produce better products in the next 10-20 years.

              its a hyundai..... yes they beat hondas, toyotas, mitsubishis, daewoos, kias,and other cars alike but bottom line is, they will never hanlde and perform like german engineered vehicles. (spelling)

                But your point wasn't lost, I was just saying Hyundais are cheap. Not $ wise, but that too. Umm what was I saying again?

                        I had the same attitude when i took a Cadillac CTS out.

                        Drives like an Audi, handles like a BMW.

                            You mean they will last longer and cost less, while maintaining a good level of luxury and performance. Would you pick an EVO over a 330xi? The EVO handles better and is a shitload faster. That's all that counts, right?

                            that is the point right?

                              Actually, some of my friends live in these houses, and their parents are the ones driving 90s Corollas and RLs. The fact that they're Indian might have something to do with it ;)

                                My brother is like that...makes plenty and drives a Honda Accord 4cyl with 160k miles (bought brand new), good gas mileage and minimal maintenance is his ideal perfect car.
