Happy 25th Anniversary Hyundai Motor America!!!
 

Happy 25th Anniversary Hyundai Motor America. :)


On February 20, 1986 Hyundai started selling cars in the USA. It was a rough start for Hyundai, but I was always a happy owner and felt I was getting a good value:
* 1986 Excel GLS 5 door
* 1989 Sonata GLS (first year for Sonata)
* 1995 Sonata
* 2000 Sonata
* 2005 Elantra GT 5 door :cool:
(All 5 speed manual.)


My first new car was a 1979 Honda Accord. By 1986, the Accord had nearly doubled in price. The 1986 top-end Excel cost less than I paid for the 1979 base Accord!!

Hope all you new Hyundai owners will be as happy as I have been over the years!!.

Best Regards,

John

EDIT:
As of 31 Dec 2012, add
* 2013 Veloster Turbo 6 speed w/Ultimate package
to the list

Current line up is actually kind of cool!

I really like the way Hyundai is going, especially with the Elantra, Sonata, and Genesis. But the Equus and Velostar are ify

The New Elantra Is Dope
 

I kinda like it (not FaceBook) :)
Altho I'm a sonata guy... :D
