The first Honda autos to hit US soil were crap: I think they were first
sold in Honda motorcycle dealerships...........now look how things
changed.

Unreal.

Todd,

I had a 2002 Sonata as a rental car for 5 days a couple of years ago. My
wife and I both thought it was very nice. It had a smooth ride, quiet enough
cabin, more than acceptable creature comforts, and seemed to be a tight car
to us overall. We would most definitely consider purchasing a Sonata in the
future. She has a 2001 Civic LX that is still in great shape, but if we ever
decide to replace her car the Sonata will be in my top 5 list of sedans to
consider buying.

That is my recollection. The Honda 600 had a 600cc two cylinder engine, but
only cost $1300 when the nearest competitor was almost $2000. I was tempted
to get one in 1971, when I was saving for my first car.

no, very real and believable. I am not a fan of Hyundai (not yet anyway)
but their entire lineup is built almost completely automated. They just
take out the human errors and there it is. I don't like the majority of the
"feel" of many individual parts (seats, dashboard, etc.), but they are
solid, regardless.

If they can improve on their mileage, then they will have something.

Actually, I like the looks of several of the Koreans (and for once I am
talking about the cars, not the women). I think they already do "have
something". With the gas mileage, you get kind of the reverse hybrid
argument. The dollars you save buying a Hyundai instead of a Honda will
pay for a lot of gas.

yeah no problems in the first year, big deal. I would even expect a ford to
have no problems in the first year.
But in 5 years the cars will be complete peices of
