wsn: that brings the question what defines a good car. is the Aveo better than an Audi A8 because I'm less likely to go bankrupt and kill myself for being bankrupt? (on the other hand I don't have to kill myself because I can't stand the Aveo anymore)
While I agree that a good car definition also includes some life-cycle cost and price, producability, I think most people would agree that Audi is better than the Hyundai (no pun, it is just a different market). More expensive, sure.
the Hyundai also might be more expensive than the more expensive competitor due to depreciation. For example, My Mazda 3 5-door costs $ 2,000 more than a comparable Lantra. After 5 years, I'm sure I have an easier time selling the Mazda than the Hyundai. and as a former Hyundai owner I know hat their warranty doesn't apply when "all of them have the same problem" or if it is "working with a workaround. It doesn't work as expected, but that doesn't mean it is broken"
Hmmm... I just watched a bunch of cars hitting concrete walls and each other at 290 Kilometers per hour (180 mph)... and the drivers all got out and walked away...
It's too bad nobody cares enough to actually spend the extra $200 per car to build a safe one.
