Current plans will be dealt with in the next few months. I over plan everything I do. I researched for 4 months before jumping on the Sonata

I'm not a fan of Hyundai at all but I will say their styling hasn't been bad lately. Far better than Honda at least.
That doesn't mean much though when the bar is set so low..

Hmm. Spit-and-laugh smiley isn't quite right. More like Spit-and-eyes-bulge-out would be right, but that isn't in the quiver. But yeah.
I'm probably just five or so years away from perhaps considering the slight possibility of actually buying a Hyundai/Kia.
In 15 years when I buy another car... But still.

Ooh. I really like the new Accord. And I finally saw a new Civic in the lot at the grocery store the other day. Honda is starting to get it right there too.
Shame about the wagon options though.

You like the new Civic?!?!? I can understand the Accord, the front end is hot and the rear is nice. But the Civic looks like dookie all around, IMO.

As long as they don't fudge something up; Honda will sell the hell out of the new Civic.

SSFTSX always bitches about how H/k is on the verge of bankruptcy and completely failing. I somehow don't see it. What I do see is more and more tv commercials from them, nice styling and new dealerships popping up. Another Hyundai dealership just opened here in town, not even 6 months ago.
All I can think of is when Honda or Toyota or Mazda or Subaru came to North America and everyone thought they were cheap, imported pieces of shit.

Both Hyundai and Kia's HQs were down the street and are HUGE.. Ginormous... We talking like monkey tucker size... Or polish patty college years...
I always wrote them off in the past but I think they're going to front runners in the near future

You spend the same money and the only thing the RLX owners could brag about is resale value. No wait... The only thing they can brag about is reliability. No wait... The only thing they can brag about is horsepower. No wait... The only thing they can brag about is interior room. No wait... the only thing they can brag about is styling. No wait...
Acuras past history still gives Acura momentum today. Hyundais past history still drags Hyundai today. I know I preach about h/K, but I'm really not trying to convince people to believe otherwise. They have to do it themselves.

Acura ain't shiet...
it's the Honda name I pay for.
and yes, they still have an edge over Hyundai (to me)...and probably always will. Not saying it's not a great looking, driving car and a great value for the money...but just like when I test drove the 3.8 coupe...couldn't stomach $30K on a Hyundai and having to have the first mod be to swap the badge to something that hid the brand name.
My dad had the first Excel...hatch...burgundy...paid like $7K for it brand new in 1987 and he drove that for 12 years. It fell apart but never left him stranded so it wasn't the WORST car ever.

Brand perception changes though. There was a time when a guy who loved Chevy said the same exact thing about Honda. That's why someone above said give them 10-15 years and who knows where they will be. If they keep going with the current design trends, good warranty, and somewhat competitive pricing they very well could make it to the top.
But for now I agree with you.
As for the new Civic... really guys? Lol
- too big
- lost identity
- rear end looks smooshed
- why is the hood so bulky?
- the tail "C" looks stupid from behind
- the tails look abnormally large from the side
- lets not even discuss Honda's current choices in wheels
I will say that directly from the front it looks good, decent stance, etc. But then again strictly from the front I'd immediately say it was an Accord.
Edit: I think my personal beef with the new Civic is the quasi hatch rear end body lines. If it had a normal 'Civic' type trunkline I think I'd be ok with it.

Honda must have lost a bet with someone and now they need to equip all their vehicles with the most hideous wheels ever imagined. Somewhere at Enkei HQ, some fatcat is laughing his ass off because all the inventory that Meth-head Eddie accidentally made on third shift is now getting sold off to Honda at a sizable profit.
