Sonata...Not the first time...

  

95k -> Sonata...Not the first time... (3/27/2007 10:01:10 AM)

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.

And don't think they stopped at Honda. Oh, heavens no, that would be a sin. [sm=sigh.gif] They've even started copying Toyota. [:(]

I've seen that a couple of times.... There is another example of similar stuff they've done.... it's kind of funny that they don't get into trouble for it....

95k -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/27/2007 2:14:32 PM)

Well, they can't. 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.

You know what, Hyundai is really starting to piss me off. Now, after Honda has come out with the Fit, their first small hatchback, Hyundai is coming out with their first, too.

those sneaky koreans...and once they modification the schematics....they're home free.

now if they start stealing pieces of honda's engine...that'll be an issue.

poser_pilot6 -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/28/2007 5:54:11 PM)

Why is everyone hating on Hyundai?  Its not like auto manufacturers havent been stealing design cues and engineering ideas from each other for years.  And Hyundais sell pretty darn well, so apparently they are doing something right.  They actually make a pretty good car.

marbro -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/28/2007 6:33:30 PM)

yeah, they can make them for cheaper by taking other companies leftovers ^_-  lol

95k -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/28/2007 7:01:13 PM)

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.

95k -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/28/2007 7:16:10 PM)

I mean, look at all these examples again. They did the same switcharoo with the lights on the Hyundai Entourage like they did with the 1992 Accord.

I have to go eat dinner, I'll be back in a minute, but I've got more examples.

poser_pilot6 -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/28/2007 8:03:15 PM)

Okay, let it go dude.  And in case you dont know, you cant compare Kia and Hyundai, because they are sister companies.  Its like saying that Ford is copying Lincoln.

95k -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/28/2007 8:35:29 PM)

I know they're sister companies, but come on. I just think it's stupid. Don't worry, I have let it go, I'm just pointing stuff out.

poser_pilot6 -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/28/2007 9:26:46 PM)

Yeah, but pointing out similarities between Hyundai and Kia is stupid.  Thats like pointing out how a Chevy looks like a GMC, or a Dodge and a Plymouth.

vtecHef -> RE: Sonata...Not the first time... (3/29/2007 11:44:15 AM)

I think they need to find a look of their own.. its really getting old and i dont know why people buy them...
Top ones the Fake the others a real Jag.....
