Default Insurance Institute for Highway Safety: Hyundai at top

Hyundai's Genesis sedan, Sonata midsize and Santa Fe and Tucson sport utility vehicles picked up awards, while Kia was recognized for the Optima midsize car, the Forte and Soul small cars, and the Sorento and Sportage SUVs.

...

Hyundai said the award was particularly sweet for the Sonata, which also received the top score of five stars in the government's crash test program. The combination put Sonata "in a safety position unsurpassed in the industry," said John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America.

Safe? Absolutely. Would I drive one? Yes, but only the Genesis coupe. I'm sure that there are plenty of manufacturers out there that make safe cars that don't fall apart (volvo has been doing it for decades) but no Hyundai (genesis coupe excluded) appeals to me or about 90% of car enthusiasts in any way. They have a lot of potential and I think the Genesis showed that but right now they're still a no way in my book, not buying them quite yet as a quality manufacturer until they roll out a few more gems.

Yet anything in their product line would beat your 118hp BMW in the stop light wars...

I feel the same way, I feel like he's a fucking dick that doesn't respect my opinions because I drive a slow car, which I don't understand because 90% of drag drive slow cars (also I've never heard him say anything about the rocket car he drives), so sometimes he makes sense and sometimes he's just a complete faggot for no reason. Although I guess all that matters to him is the "stop light wars," something I won't participate in no matter what car i'm in. And get it right man, it's 138hp GET MAD.
