Fuck, I want a Hyundai...
Just when I think I'm in the clear of ever buying a new car...
 http://jalopnik.com/the-hyundai-sant...-it-1679052287 Seats 5, I4 Turbo-diesel with 300 ft-lbs of torque, looks like it's smaller than a full sized sedan, toss in a manual and a towing package with enough beef to haul a racecar to the track and/or a small boat and I'm sold. Maybe I won't be hanging on to my POS Nissan until I die... |

If starting under $26k, yes.
If starting at $30k, pass. |

IMO if I can walk out the door for <$30k I will definitely give it serious consideration, this is the only compact truck I can see on the horizon, like the Toyobaru without support it will be many years before we see another. |

Not a Hyundai fan, but that looks pretty cool...reminds me of a Subaru BRAT.

I'd seriously consider it assuming under $30K OTD, it's exactly what I've been looking for in a DD.

I'm surprised so many people here like it. It reminds me of the subaru baja and I remember a car reviewer describing that as a good vehicle for people who haul things like palm trees one at a time.
I guess it's just not my cup of tea. When I need a truck, I want a truck. Which I guess is why I have a Silverado 3500HD. |
