Love that Tiburon. Man, that Hyundai company is something....just coming in under Lexus in 3rd place for quality.....I think it is Porsche, Lexus and then Hyundai. That Korean company knows that it has to OVERSHOOT to catch Honda and Toyota, and instead of shortcuts, or admitting its inferiority to the big brothers, it just leaps forward and catches them someday. A remarkable company making fabulous cars.

I have a client who likes his Hyundai better than his Lexus. There is a big story that will be told about this company someday I wager. With 100K bumper to bumper warranties, they are getting the Looky Loos to buy, and many will stay.

I myself am a sick car fool. You don't want to know my past car exploits except to say that I am now comfortably an Acura and Honda man. Thank god for Rolex which diverted me from cars.

But I am intrigued by Hyundai as a growing international force, and am totally impressed by the immense quality that they bring to the game.

Pfffft...actually your Lexus is nothing more than a Toyota. Nothing against Toyota's, I had two of them, but nothing wrong with a Hyundai either. Which company's designs are they trying to steal?

My wife loves hers BTW

This is actually my business too. :) I have a couple of daily drivers. The black Z makes over 650whp, or close to 800bhp.


We also aquired a new Infiniti G37 coupe for testing pruposes.....at least that is what I tell our accountant.

Beautiful car! Ture craftmanship! A Lexus is a Toyota on steroids and Acura is a Honda on steroids IMO hence, i am a Honda/Acura fan all the way. Nothing wrong with Hyundai or Kia, just not my cup of tea. Lacking attention to detail that Honda and Toyota devote to their vehicles.

I drive 2005 Acura TSX
also have a 2004 Acura TL
both great vehicles

I paid $7,900.00 for my SS Daytona and it is worth $12,000.00 (approx). I paid $60,000+ for my 2003 Jaguar S Type R and it is worth about $18,000.00. 'Nuff said.

Yeah, but have you ever gotten lucky in your Daytona?

On second thought, never mind.

Let me help you out with that. It's the least I can do for a fellow Rolex guy.
Pitch in and help... That's my motto.

Here's a two of mine. I've own a Merc CLS 500, too, but I can't find any photos now. If I've got time, I'll take a photo of the car in the garage.
