    Nah, I was about ready to pull the trigger, but then some unexpected wedding expenses came up. I think once the wedding is over I may look into it. Plus, I ordered a GG 6" from Phil not too long ago and haven't even put it to use yet. I need to get some fair time on that before I buy another polisher. I really like the microfiber system with the DA (used it with the old PC before I sold it) so I may stick with that for awhile since it seems to consistently work for me.

    My only issue with Hyundai/Kia is resale 5--6 years from initial sale. But with the new models its hard to say. FYI IIRC one of the lead designers from Audi Went to work for Hyundai Kia and that is why their new cars look so good....

    Yep you are correct. Well resale value may not be quite as good as say Infiniti, but the initial purchase or financing price, combined with the fun you'll have by driving it, is worth it. I mean if you could away save the 5 grand from the purchase price, and then when you sell the car, make up any difference (and more) by throwing the 5k on top :)

    Either way, I wouldn't discount them. I remember when Nissan broke into the luxury market, now look at Inifiniti, I believe the same will happen with Hyundai.

    Just my opinion though! (And I may be biased :))

    I seriously looked/ consider the Kia Optima, the performance per dollar is an incredible value. My neighbor got one of the fully loaded set ups with LEDs, its a real head turner. Ill be honest, ill buy a Kia before I buy a Toyota

    Now that's a statement... haha

    I drive a Genesis Coupe myself. And I have to say, I can't find much wrong with it :)

    well, to put it in perspective. Toyota makes a very sterile looking car, and I am still getting atleast 2-3 recall/ TSB notices on a IS350 I no longer own. And its for stupid fit and finish issues, but also serious ones as well.
