Hyundai wants to build a pickup truck. The Tucson-based Santa Cruz, shown above, is an obvious candidate, but would almost certainly be subject to the 25 percent chicken tax, unless Hyundai builds it Stateside.

  • CKNSLS Sierra SLT Since they are the darling of the rental fleets I have probably spent about 5,000 miles in two different Malibus. I was ready to be discouraged. But for what they are-they are a competent riding vehicle and they get close to 40mpg cursing at a reasonable speed. A little too much plastic in the interior-making it look "cheap". But if I was looking for a competent sedan I would consider an off rental one at a decent price. A new one would suffer massive depreciation-probably.
  • Arthur Dailey Kinda wish that I had bought one back in 2011. Yes I know that some here prefer the first generation to the second. But the first was not available new in Canada.I didn't appreciate the centre mounted instrument panel.However one of my children had one as a week long rental and much preferred it to the Prius that she had previously.
  • MaintenanceCosts 308/311 is just the rating of the gas engine by itself. The full powertrain power rating, taking into account both power sources is 483/479. The car will do 0-60 in under five seconds. Frankly, I find the idea of that being "underpowered" bizarre.Also, "understated" has never been less fashionable within my lifetime. We are in a moment where everyone wants to make a Bold Statement with everything they do.
  • 28-Cars-Later @PoskySo here's some interesting data, Manheim's Used Car index is still 28% higher than shortly before the Plandemic (155 on chart) after declining from a height of 39% (roughly 215) in January 2022, yet interest rates are now more than double on average. Maybe the White House should focus on some deflationomics instead of mucking up everything?
  • Dale Had one. The only car I ever bought because of a review in a guitar magazine.Sure was roomy inside for such a small car. Super practical. Not much fun to drive even with a manual.Sent it to college with my stepson where it got sideswiped. Later he traded it in on an F-150.
