Do you mean 'OWN' as actually own?

or 'OWN' and over powering Kia?

if Kia is reallyed OWNED by Hyundai, is there an article about it?

because I never heard about it..

Kia is owned/controlled by Hyundai. They bought them a few years ago

Hyundai will not be up there with Toyota and Honda in 5 years. I don't think they will ever come close. Their vehicles are still way too unreliable and the designs are horrendous at best.

Hyundai is already at Toyota/Hyundai level and is already matching or surpassing them in initial quality and long-term reliability, not to mention build quality. Just take a look at the new 2006 Sonata

That being said, stop talking out of your ass

No need for rolly eyes When it comes to build quality and materials use, I dare you to compare a Camry or Accord to the new 2006 Hyundai Sonata. Do it, go take a look at one down at your dealership. Take a drive in it it, you'll be amazed.

Hyundai is also matching Honda and Toyota in IQ and their dependability rating is steadily moving up.

Why the hell do you think that Toyota is so worried? It surely isn't b/c of Honda...

Would YOU personally buy one? I've read the same reviews in newsboards, heard people's opinion, etc. Hyundai has improved since its days when Rodney King was being chase down by the LAPD.

Its easy to hang out on car sites/newsboards, hear opinions and say this and that, copy and paste for ATOT but putting money where you mouth is different story.


I'm sticking with my boring overpriced Toyota.

If I were buying a new mid-sized sedan TODAY and wanted an appliance, I'd buy the 2006 Sonota.

If I had a few months to spare, I'd wait to see how the'07 Camry turns out

fair enough, but your answer isn't really definte. You're smart shopper from what I've seen and it doesn't sound you would make car decision at the spur of the moment so you wouldn't ever have come to situation that YOU HAD to buy TODAY.

It sounds like you would still hold out for Toyota . Camry would be the same maybe some more HP, some nifty gadgets maybe a bum warmer or GPS. Probably more uglier knowing Toyota's track record.
