    I'm not usually a fan of the newer Camaros but, if it didn't have those stupid wheels, it might look all right.

    Theyre cars look like they spent all theyre time on the engines and then had to theow everything else togerher from parts they had laying around. Seat does a similar thing they spend all there time on designing the outside and then go and buy the chapest things of amazon and stick them in the interior

    The American Hyundai Sonata looks pretty nice, as do the Elantra and Genesis, though now the Genesis is the Genesis G80.

    Apparently Kia is unveiling a RWD sedan next month.

    10 years ago if somebody told me that Ford & Holden would be producing FWD midsize sedans with 4cyl engines while Kia & Hyundai would be producing RWD fullsize sedans with V6 & V8 engines, I would've laughed in that idiots face.

    I wonder if there would be a Korean equivalent to the Clubsport.

    That's what I was thinking. The rice is a little too much, but I think that with a regular car, it would look okay.

    It doesn't look bad, but at the end of the day, it's still a Chrysler 300.

    Isn't the K900 already RWD? And I suppose with the genesis going to it's own brand hyundai is now left without a RWD sedan and they may shuffle the lineup to get each marquee their own level of luxury.

    I think some of you here might enjoy this as well, Originally from another forum I'm a member of.

    Here's the direct cut & paste. Not mine, by the way.

    "I've wanted one of these since they came out. I dunno why...
    1989 Pontiac 6000 STE ... AWD.
    This one has 45kmi and is in near perfect condition. I just bought it.


    It was GM's attempt to compete in the Euro sedan space in that time frame. And while they didn't sell many of these, It did get outstanding reviews from the big car magazines who generally just bashed most any American vehicle. They probably didn't sell many because it stickered for $24k in 1989 and if you had that kind of money you just bought your BMW.
    For it's time, it was way ahead of the game. AWD was rare in non-trucks, it had 4 wheel independent suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, rear load leveling suspension, ABS and a systems monitoring system that would rival the Enterprise.
    They only made about 200 88's, 1300 '89s and 400 90's with AWD the vast majority of which were surly driven into the ground. As such, it is a pretty rare vehicle. It had a one-off transaxle that was a modified TH125C trans with a power take-off for the rear. It was setup for 60% power to front, 40% to the rear. It also has a center diff lock button to lock the front and back together in case you bury it in sand or ... mud
    Welcome back....to the 80's."

    Was sort of attracted to these myself until I read this post, because it's lead me to assume that they're all automatics. Yeah, no.

    This thing has the same engine as my car, which is not that powerful, though it does have quite some torque. I can't imagine how slow it would be in a heavier chassis with AWD and a slushmatic.

    This should be labeled the official car of the '80s.

    Any of you guys heard of this car? The Mercedes-Benz S600 Royale?



    I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I think it's a cool looking car.
