They’re stock tires on a rental car. The car probably was shaking.â€

The Sonata wasn't designed in Germany. The guy at the Hyundai Tour said it was designed both at Hyundai California Design Center and Hyundai Korea Namyang Design center. Probably tested in Germany, that's it.

you might be right KR, the cali HCD studio probably had most of it, but I heard the Sonata and the Accent SR were designed at Hyundais newest design center in Germany. maybe i heard wrong, but it would explain the linnear Audi A4 styling. Might have been tested in Germany though so i might be wrong there. another thing is the Accent SR was debuted in Franfurt Auto Show this year.

I'll look into it buddy wink1.gif Still doesn't change the fact that the article is biast against Hyundais!! haha. Car shaking monkey butt spankme.gif

There were 30,169 speeders clocked at 76 mph or more on Loop 101 during the warning phase of the photo enforcement program between Jan. 22 and Feb. 21. The number of speeders dipped nearly 30 percent the next month, when citations began.


HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

seriously though tickets and camera's aren't the answer. if the goverment would back some program to make more local raceways built/available for cheap then that would help alot. Racing and speed are something nearly everyone wants to experience but it most places there is no legal place close to do it.

when my daughter starts driving I'm taking her to a race track and saying this is the place for speed, not the street. then letting her try her hand at it, or paying for high performance driving school.
