Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Korean for WANT!

Hyundai Genesis and Ford F-150 take the honours? Both excellent vehicles by all accounts.

Auto journalists have foreseen gas prices remaining low forever, then. So that's okay.

Pffft. GM will issue a recall on that Kimchi within six months. Nothing to worry about, Hyundai.

GM vows revenge, threatens to unleash their vast armies of auto engineers to re-engineer kimchi T-Shirt

I am certain that the engineers would make a fine kimchi. But then management would add $5k more money to pay for their decades of poor negotiations. Then the Marketing department would try to find cheaper ingredients to still get the thing to market. And once all of these people 'touched' the product,

your kimchi would cost $500 a pint be soggy paper bags soaked in swamp water sitting next to some wonderful Napa Cabbage and Daikon radish kimchi in a quart jar for $3.99 that was conceived in Korea and fabricated in Georgia.

The genesis is looking more and more like the nissan z of its class. Affordable and cool...

The Koreans perfected the rice-paddy assault vehicle. That thing would pull an Abrams tank out of the mud. I give it the vehicle of the century award.

Well, somebody needs to re-engineer kimchi. That stuff is definately the "puke" no matter which of the over 100 varieties you stick in your mouth.

/still shudders at the memory of my first experience with it as a "turtle" in Camp Casey, Korea on day one in the mess hall.
//didn't know what the dead animal smell was until I took a bite of my mashed taters and thought it was it and scrapped it off my plate.
///found out it was really the "stuffed cabbage" I got and took a bite of that and almost hurled right there on the spot.
////you been to Korea, you know what a turtle is.

Is Hyundai still over inflating their horsepower claims? That company is legendary for doing that.

should have asked for some hot sauce. hot sauce makes errrrr'thang mo betta. what's a turtle?

First car I ever had was a hand-me-down, manual, green, 92 Hyundai Excel. I drove that car until it had over 200k miles with mostly factory parts still working. No complaints. No breakdowns.

A turtle is the term given to a new arrival at the reception station in any of the units servicing the DMZ. Being a hardship tour, it is only 1 year long. The idea is that it takes you basically a year to go a few hundred meters from the reception station back to the same station for processing back out to either CONUS or some other OCONUS assignment. You have the right to call anybody who has been in country less time than you a "turtle." I think I still have my wall calendar that had a turtle on it slowly going up a plane boarding ramp with 365 little squares to fill in that you could count down the days until you were out of that hellhole. And that was 20 years ago.

That sucker retails for 38K. I'll take the '97 Tercel for $2500, Alex.

As much as I hate to admit it...this car is not too ugly....still way underpowered, but what do you want for a cheap car. The 4 door pictured on cnn is a boat, but the 2 door pictured above is acceptable...now just stick a supercharged v8 in there and we will have something!!!

I don't let the "Car of the Year" awards sway me.

After all, back in 1983 the Renault Alliance was the Car of the Year.

/and before that in '81 was the K-Car and in '80 the Chevy Citation.

//yes, I know that was Motor Trend's award list, but it still shows that the award to an unproven, 'new to the market' car is more a marketing gesture.

Hey Detroit: If you came out with a good electric car, I would give it a good look.

Your latest V8 Camaro makeover? Dude, I'm not 12.

Re-engineer kimchi? Well that's your problem, right there.
You don't understand what you are dealing with.

Imagine if you will taking cabbage, peppers, garlic, assorted other spices and vegetables, mixing them all together, then leaving the jar out for a few WEEKS until you end off with a mixture that is half-fermented and spicy enough to give a Mexican the trots.

That's proper kimchi.

In Hawaii, we have Americanized kimchi. All it's good for is fart fuel, it has almost NO spice. And we have the benefit of having actual Koreans (as well as Thais, dot-Indians, and other spice-loving cultures) around to demand it to be better than one could expect from the middle of whitebread-country.

Now, consider. If their engineers and factory workers are crazy enough to want to eat that...imagine how crazy they are at work! None of this UAW "That's not my job, you gotta talk to the union stew, who might figure out whose job it is, and don't you dare try to do it yourself or I'll file a grievance" bullcrap.

/not sure which one makes me fart more: when I stir fry kimchi and sausage for home dinner, or when i go out to a bar and eat Hawaii bar food-boiled soybeans with roasted garlic
//then again, I understand that mainland bar food is pickled eggs. Beer and beans...beer and eggs...beer and cabbage...

The door to the inprocessing building is two hundred feet from the door to the outprocessing building. In essence, it takes you a year to cross that two hundred feet.

We had a Korean exchange student move in, and jokingly told him that in order to live in our house he must bring a Korean girl to cook for all the guys.

So he brings two hotties who cook a variety of Korean food. I eyed the octopus tentacles suspiciously but the spicy kimchi soup was freakin' awesome.

I dunno, if the winners were the F-150 (pickup truck) and the Genesis (family sedan), I'd have to say that the judges have been looking for practicality over flair.

Ridiculously overdone, overpowered, and underuseful "Lookit me, I'm a two door, glossy black, zero trunk, four hundred horsepower sports car" cars need not apply.

/then again I could be wrong. According to Cars.com, the Genesis has a V-6 or V-8, pushing well over 200 HP. Over 300 with the V-8. Wait, what?

Bring back the 1986 Chevy Celebrity wagon! It could eat all of Hyundai, and then roar over a field of broken glass and boulders to work off the calories.
