    All Praise Hyundai

    Seriously guys.....

    what in EARTH were the marketing team thinking of?

    TERRACAN

    A Can of Terror
    It even LOOKS like the word Terracar when you see it briefly.

    Terra Car........Terracan....

    what on EARTH is that all about?

    Hyundai...I salute you


    NOT!

    Not many of their cars are designed for power. Except maybe the Coupe.

    now THAT IS waht this thread was about. Not whether Hyundai made a nice car. But what they CALLED IT.

    I mean, lets go back.....the S Coupe.

    What do you think EVERY DEALER called it? yup....the SCOOP

    and what kinda scoop do you think they meant? Not ice cream...I promise.

    and now the Terracan

    blimey

    I used to like their Coupe till they brought out the new version, now it looks pants. Parents had 2 of them, a Sonata, and a Lantra. Lantra had some serious problem with it they couldn't fix.
