and I have seen more then a few auto engineers across a few auto groups I am in on FB say they would buy Hyundai/Kia/Genesis in a heartbeat based on the current engineering they have.. and from my experience around them made our current choice pretty easy really with having multiple others we know owning them as well.I would never purchase any Kia or a Hyundai based on knowledge of components.
Hyundai components are dubious? I showed this to my Physics Phd. son and it made him chuckle.

Cost benefit trade off of what you say is true. What’s the minimum you’ll spend on a car, hundred grand?I have rented Hyundais before and they are good cars. I personally wouldn't buy one.
this right here just lost any credibility you might have had... they literally are the same vehicle underneath the sheet metal. yeah the Escalade might have a bit nicer interior build but the actual go parts are all the same..Not dubious, just cheap. Like I said, you could say this about all manufacturers.
A Tahoe doesn't have as expensive parts as an Escalade. That is just a fact.
Hyundai parts are cheap.

a High Country Tahoe/Suburban is very comparable to an Escalade they use the same exact 6.2L v8 with the same 10speed and air ride suspension. that is what actually affects real reliability.. the Escalade has a little nicer finish for the money sure but again the real nuts and bolts are the same.Not true at all, different trim levels and even recipes within those trim levels have different parts.
You have to trust me on this one. I work at a GM plant.

That fun to drive 65 Mustang is slower, brakes worse, handles worse, is less safe and is a lot noisier (in bad ways like wind and road noise). But I'll totally agree that everyone looks cooler in a 65 Mustang even though it is objectively a worse car than anything made today. It's great for cruising downtown during the summer but you sure wouldn't want to take it on a 1000 mile road trip.And the Camry is boring as hell to drive compared to that '65 Stang. That being said, it's hard to imagine that there are Camry models that would beat the Mustang GT zero to 60.
Can't go wrong with a Cardinal color car. A Gold interior takes it over the top.My longstanding position is that the single most important factor in auto purchasing is the color.![]()
I get what you are saying and a hundred grand wouldn't cover it. I tell people all the time that everyone makes good cars now. Good mass produced cars.If you want something exceptional you have to get something handmade like a Rolls Royce, Ferrari, etc. Even a hundred thousand dollar Mercedes is rolling down a line.
Personally, I like Acura and Audi. I also understand that those makes might not fit everyone's needs, but that is what we buy.
