Seems pretty dumb for them to be giving those companies assistance to lower the cost of a car for people in the United States. Maybe they give tax breaks to their plants in their home countries (just like everyone does here), but I doubt they would want to help those businesses build plants in the United States. With the import restrictions on total number of cars they can send over, it only makes sense for them to build up a separate US business as Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai have done.

The new Sonata design is great as well. Very sharp looking car. I have wanted the Genesis Coupe since I got the Santa Fe for my wife a couple years back. Finally pulled the trigger on it and 2 weeks later I have no buyers remorse... just love the car all around.
Yes, I like the Sonatas a lot. In the end I opted for the better gas mileage. I wanted to hold out a few more weeks, I thought I could get a better price as demand eased a bit, but I don't really have remorse either. I'm liking it a lot.

What kind of stupid, ignorant, meaningless response is this?

I'm not thinking of GM, I'm thinking of the saps that might buy one of these pigs.
