Well, well, well....the new Eclipse continues to DISAPPOINT me...
 
Not only the brake mishap, but I just learned this...

Seems that V6 is actually a Hyundai powerplant...

though working with Mitsu and Chrysler these engines are Hyundai engineered

where did it say the v6 is a hyundai motor?

From what i understood, only the 3 new 4 cylinder motors are co-engineered by hyundai.

Exactly. Believe it or not, Hyundai's ratings have been doing better than expected...

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. :hgrin:
though they did have the top rated reliability car last year. still, its a hyundai. gross.

:rofl: quote from the last posted link.

"By building a capable performance sports car, Hyundai would effectively increase its appeal to younger generations who aren't as interested in quality or reliability as they are in image."

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

\Hahaha yea kids these days. All they care about is looking good and going fast. Maybe its true, I mean look how many have srt4?

Big Rob 05-30-2005 09:17 AM

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.

CivicsRdBest 05-30-2005 09:30 AM

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

Oh well, at least its cheap....
