will ... what are you talking bout? THe G won 1 comparison test, and mostly due to price and the BMW test car overheated. Then in the next comparion, BMW won even though the G was less ( in that one the G had issues with 4 wheel steering & engine ) ... The 335 is larger, faster, more storeage, stops faster & more feel, more solid ..... The G should be compared to the 1 series ...

To Hyundai ... wtf? they absolutely kill me how they think that anyone would compare that tiburon to a G37. There is no comparison. It does provide me a laugh though

Someone wants to drive Hyundais! They are the 6th largest company in the world as well as setting their own sales records each month. I do not particularly care for them, but there are a lot of people out there that do. Not everyone can afford a G37 or a 3 Series BMW

First they compare their Azera to Lexus LS.
Then they compare their Sonata to BMW 5 series.
Then they compare their SantaFe to Landrover.
Then they compare their Veracruze to Lexus RX.
and Now this.

Don't get me wrong. I'm Korean but they should have followed what Toyota did with Lexus and make a luxury brand before they compare their cars to one.

Aren't they supposed to be Kia's "luxury" brand?

Hwany, you really made me log in...
I think, when you make your comments on something, you better study and make it right! Being a Korean doesn't make your comment persuasive.

In your comparison, there are a lot of mismatches...
Azera vs. Lexus ES350
Veracruz vs. Lexus RX350
Sonata vs. Honda Accord & Camry
Those are the cars Hyundai claimed they have targeted during its development.

If you are not aware of these simple benchmarks, I strongly recommend you to stay soundless.

I can't wait to see the commercial of the guy pulling up to a G37 at the light and they nod" Picture this he leaves the G37 driver in dust lusting over his Hyundai. This is getting ridiculous when will this madness stop, before they go after luxury brands you think they would first try to take down Honda and Toyota which even that they can't do. LOL

No, offense, I think Hyundai is NOT already to take on BMW, Lexus, Audi, MB, Acura and Infiniti yet. They need a premium brand and work on their reliability and quality of their cars.

No, in their right mind would pay, $32k-$45K+ for an Kia or Hyundai when they can get a BMW, Audi, MB, Lexus, Infiniti or an Acura for the same price.

I'm not sure what Kia or Hyundai advertise team has been Smoking...but it got to be to Really Good Stuffs. Because lately they have come up some of the most ridiculus comparison I have ever seen.

Even Lexus, when it was first came out, it did not compare directly with the German brands. It was only recently recognize by the auto ethusiast and fanboy to be on par or superior the German brands.

Again, not sure what they are Smokin....but It got to be some really good stuff; I was wondering if they would gave a puff while they are at it, do you think they let me?

sarcastic.....gee...what were they thinking?

Kia and Hyundai if you're reading this, I will NEVER buy your cars for myself or anyone in my family. I will get Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, BMW, Audi or a MB instead.

ps1982, you the only person here is you LoSer........, what dweeb.

The thing about walmart they sales stuff for cheap but the merchanise is not a car. The Hyundai and Kia brand broke down all the time, even with the brand model.

I'm sorry if you drive a Kia and Hyundai and it broke all the time, I don't blame you for being mad.

The Hyundai Genesis sedan and new RWD Tiberon coupe will be smash hits because of one reason:
Low cost.

My wife drives a 2006 Azera... I myself drive a 1977 Mini-Cooper 'S'.
We did not choose the car cause we are lower class Americans. Why did CR (Consumer Report) rate it one point behind the Toyota Avalon?
Says something about the car that saved me $3800 over a Avalon that was equally equipped.

So it all falls back on Marketing hype. You must give Hyundai some credit at poking commercials at the 'big dogs.'No other car company has done it and I bet a lot will follow with pointing there car is better than another Make & Model.

Also if Hyundai isn't a player why has a few manufactures went to the 100,000 mile Warranty? Who started that? So it seems some little Korean company has some good ideas that are being followed!

After all there are plenty of you that seem to amazingly remember every new Hyundai commercial! So they maybe dumb to those. But damn does it make a impact on society's marketing!

Cheers...

G37 trumps the 3 series coupe, and what is this car now being compared, what? what? A Hyundai RWD. Wow i heard that the car is very underpowered, fat, corners like a troll, and what is that face... ugh.. the most horrifying car, very sorry, but no way that i will have that car from Hyundai in my dream while i am in front of a G37.
