I see where this is going...
Does anyone want to start a BMW vs. Velorex thread?

If you are buying Hyundai and Kia prestige is of no concern to you.

My understanding is that Kia and Hyundai are products of the same company, therefore both equally low prestige.

 

[akubi]

well in korea, Hyundai has a longer history and "prestige"

nowadays, I think many of their cars are just rebadged versions of the other's

 

[radioouman]

Equal.

 

[TommyVercetti]

Hyundai.

But I simply love the looks of the KIA Sorento. I bet it was called a Toyota Sorento, it would have been a huge hit with the 21-25 demographic.

Similarly, if the Hyundai Tiborun was called a Nissan or Toyota Tiborun, it would have become the defacto cool car to have for every kid in high school.

Aren't they the same company now?

That' what people used to say about Japanese auto...

It depends on what car you are going to buy from the dealer.

Well Hyundai has been out for a while, I sold them in 93 😉

There first cars were total junk but the newer ones are not bad.

Kia is new

The folks had a loner hyundai a while back, and from what I saw of it, it wasn't all that bad (but then again, as a loner it didn't see much use).

The new hyundais are actually not bad at all.

it is still a cheap car though.

They launched the sonata in 93 (I was selling them) and I believe they have a bigger one now.
