The other thread got me thinking about this and I wondered what everyone else was thinking.

I will test and consider all ponycars that are on the market when I am ready to purchase a new car (around 2009 when I return from Germany). I will have a slight bias for the Chevy but it is my hard earned money that I'm spending, I want the best ponycar I can get.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Maybe if it had a v8 option, i would consider the hyundai, but i doubt it. Not with mustangs, camaro's, challengers around.

As for the dodge, i probably would consider it. It all depends on the the style and the overall package. Same goes for the camaro.

 

I'd have to see it, drive, check it out. When I think Hyundai, I still think of the old beaters that were junk. I'm not closed to changing this view, I'd just have to see it to believe it.

 

Dodge: Yes

Hyundai: Hell no.

 

Dodge, maybe
Hyundai, not a chance

 

i gotta see it first. i always said i would never buy a mustang, but when the SN95 Mach 1 came out, i almost ate my words. i'm just glad to see others jumping in on the pony car wars(hopefully GM will get there soon!!!)

 

Not a chance. Call me a snob, but I just can't see having a Hyundai, any Hyundai, in my garage.

That's not to say I don't think the car has the potential to do very well. There's plenty of cars out there that hit their target market right in the bullseye that I would never in a million years consider buying. This would be one of them.

 

well the article i read about this was several months ago... but they said it would include a V8, so that classifys itself to be a contender, but not a participant in my buying process. They said it would be in the same class as the GTO.

Hyundai Also said that they were aiming their guns at Mercedes and BMW as far as rwd sedans, and were going to have a very low price, the article said GM was likely to get cought in the warfare.

 

No, but only because I won't be in the new pony car market anytime soon.

But if I found it attractive, performed well for its price and was moderately comfortable I would consider it, although it would have lots of ground to make up for due to being a hyundai.

 

Nah, sounds too close to Honduh.

 

I had to select no because Hyundai was in there. I would have no problem with a Dodge, I had actually expected the Charger would be a real Charger, and I would have wanted one. I had 69 Charger and 99 Concept Chargers all over my computer just at the thought. But Id never even consider much less own a Hyundai, Honda, Nissan or Toyota no matter how 'good' or bad it was perceived to be. (I'll leave out mitsu in case I ever pick up an old talon and someone tries to give me crap about it ;-)

 

Hyundai is INCAPABLE of making a "Ponycar".
They must be American, born in the 1960's, and have red, white, and blue in their logos!

Seriously, I wouldn't consider a Hyundai. At all. Any model.
They make appliances, excavators, tractors, and hand tools too, and I wouldn't own any of those products either.

I'd rather support my own nation and it's businesses - even if it means I am spending a little more money or tolerating a marginally less-perfect unit. That's my .02.

 

Probably not. If no Camaro, then I'll see what new Mustang models are out and also what the Challenger is packing (if it happens).

Also IF it ends up being Mustang vs Camaro vs Challenger, Hyundai is gonna have to pack some serious heat to be taken seriously in that kind of battle. I dont see them going toe to toe with the Big 3 pony cars and then undercutting them in pricing (which seems to be Hyundai's strategy, sell em cheaper and give them a helluva warranty)

 

I have no interest in Hyundai at all....
