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.)

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
