after the santa fe incident, i will never trust hyundai. if an auto manufacturer can make a car in which the engine will seize up in as little as 18 miles, they don't know what they're doing.
though they did have the top rated reliability car last year. still, its a hyundai. gross.

Mitsu car with hyundai engine > mitsu car with mitsu engine

Mitsu engines are way crappier compared to hyundai so either that is saying a lot for hyundai or very little about mitsu

Yeah, and hyundai exploits child labor to build there cars. On the other hand, how can you condemn a place that gives kids somethings to do.

I thought Hyundai pulled out of the deal to develop motors w/ mitsu/chrysler or was that just dcx stopping the funding of mitsu...

Oh well, at least its cheap....
