Not usually a topic on SAU, I get that but I just looked these up on Carsales and it kinda surprised me.

First of all, the Mac-Daddy model will set you back $90-freaking-k!!

Second of all, its a RWD! With a fair bit of power.

Is this platform from another manufacturer? Mercedes perhaps?

Just seems like a mighty step for a small-car manufacturer to leap, making $90k RWD's all of a sudden.

Anybody know much about them?

I love this; "Our car had the $22,000 Ultimate package"

Thats a 'package' worth as much as a brand new base Corolla!

I thought I read Hyundai went all out and built it from the ground up themselves, just to prove they could.

One of the reviews said it was a lard arse and too expensive considering the competition.

took a mates for a drive a little while back, not too bad. they feel expensive enough and have a bit of poke of course but i couldn't justify the price tag.

not when you can buy a jag or turbo merc. or plenty of faster cars if thats your thing.

good to see their breaking through to that market though. looking good for their future cars i must say.

^I think they specifically chose NA because of smoothness...

Price seems good when its S class / A8 / 7 series size and options?

Love me badge snobs... Its basically a Lexus but cheaper imo. (And won't break like the Germans will.)

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
