Good. I like Hyundai cars. They make excellent cars for the money. Will make them even more competitive and help me re-sale value. Bad for Toyota. I think they are already at their ceiling price for struggling middle class America.

God bless you, bub. I spent 27 years in the music business and it just about ruined my life.

4. Isn't that illegal price fixing?
When the airlines do that sort of thing, that's what I've heard it called...

6. I agree
They think they're going to take some GM market share. But it's a mistake. My point is fully loaded Toyota's are expensive enough already. Someone who was going to buy a Highlander will go for the loaded Santa Fe. Someone going for teh Matrix will now get a loaded Tuscon or Kia Sportage. Someone wanting a Scion will choose a Mazda3 . It starts to add up.
