Sonata...Not the first time... - 3/27/2007 10:01:10 AM    95k   Posts: 104 Joined: 3/23/2007 Status: offline This isn't the first time that Hyundai has stolen the look of an Accord. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, may I please present to you Item #225,000,000,000,000,000,000, the 1992 Hyundai Sonata. And Item #1, the 1992 Honda Accord Bas***ds switched the turn signal with the brake light and thought they were sneaky. < Message edited by 95k -- 3/27/2007 10:02:28 AM > _____________________________ 1995 Accord LX 4-door 132,000 miles Post #: 1

Oh, heavens no, that would be a sin.  They've even started copying Toyota.

I'm sure that they get yelled at by Honda and Toyota and other companies, but there's nothing that they can do about it. All they have to do is change the lights a little bit or change something small about the car, slap their name on it, and then put it on the market. _____________________________ 1995 Accord LX 4-door 132,000 miles (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 4

Now, after Honda has come out with the Fit, their first small hatchback, Hyundai is coming out with their first, too.

RE: Sonata...Not the first time... - 3/28/2007 7:01:13 PM    95k   Posts: 104 Joined: 3/23/2007 Status: offline I know poser, and I agree with you on the fact that they have been stealing ideas from each other all along, but it's just the fact that they do it way too much that makes me kind of mad. And I'm not doubting that they make a good car, I'm just saying that they should at least try and make and sell that good car by themselves instead of looking at other companies to steal their ideas and designs so often. _____________________________ 1995 Accord LX 4-door 132,000 miles (in reply to marbro) Post #: 9

They did the same switcharoo with the lights on the Hyundai Entourage like they did with the 1992 Accord. Kia Sedona Hyundai Entourage I have to go eat dinner, I'll be back in a minute, but I've got more examples. _____________________________ 1995 Accord LX 4-door 132,000 miles (in reply to 95k) Post #: 10
