Goodbye Toyota - Hello Hyundai!

[3sgTe]

make your thread title very clear!.. this guy makes me laugh out of his face!.. comparing the decade long car maker with a korean newbie carmaker.. thats a long way to go dude.. tgnan mo muna lahat ng tsikot ng toyota at ng hyundai compare mo bawat isa ng pinong pinong impormasyon bago ka magbigay ng ganyan title.. [SIZE=5]this thread sucks..[/SIZE]

hindi naman ok i-compare yun dalawa. one row lang naman yun hilux tapos 2/3 eh cargo na walang laman unlike the terracan na full-SUV and probably heavier too.

saka andaya naman nun sa tubig, may mekaniko. dapat tumakbo kagad after the high tide. yan ang durable

sobrang unbelieavable pa yun binagsak na Hilux, ni hindi man lang na-flatan. kunsabagay baka sa 2nd floor lang itinaas di naman pinakita sa vid eh

er... wala naman atang self healing na kotse

yung sa tubig ang ginamit lang ata nila WD40 at konting tools lang. ang ikinabibilib ko ay walang piyesang pinaltan para tumakbo!!! kalikot lang.

mataas yung pinagbagsakan nung hilux. check nyo ulit po yung video

if you factor in the hilux's saltwater damage from being submerged at sea level then being burned inside and out, there is no comparison.

you forgot to mention, it was left submerged at sea level late afternoon and was pick-uped 5 hours later...

the video only proves hyundai is 5 star safety car...

[SIZE="3"]but the part of bumping computers, printers and TV and even a TOASTER! is damn ridiculous!!![/SIZE]

I bumped a coconut tree (those smaller and shorter orange colored ones planted on islands in highways...) with a JDM space gear delica. and cut it, removed it... and damaging inside was only the radiator running at 80kmh.

I bet some of you did even worse...

Toyota is soon and becoming the World's Top auto maker as GM stalls... overtake that...

overtaking a toyota vehicle with a hyundai is very possible... but overtake the car sales?

i call that wishful thinking. hyundai still has a long way to go.

[rion]

it's not the ride, it's the rider when it comes to overtaking... hehe...

I have my high hopes on hyundai... they used to borrow engines from Japan and now they are getting better with their own engines.

but indeed it's long way to go...

The Hilux (the one in the Topgear test) is still more tough and durable (and that was a 13 year old one). This wins hands-down over it.

Still, I'd give kudos to Hyundai for their heavy improvements in their quality and strength. It shows that the Koreans are bouncing back (after their disappoint Ssangyong and MB van with crap quality)

But even so, they're still quite far from being at par with the Japs.

-thats the whole point. Thats why its Goodbye Toyota, Hello Hyundai. (I might be making some revelation) But guys, you are the one who made this stuff complicated! Overtaking Car Sales??? Err... Yep, its a long way but its currently taking ground. And I dont care if you hate this thread. well I cant force you to love it.

Mods - Please lock this thread.

Is this some kind of Hyundai fanatic or fanboy talk? Duh!

erm no. what we pointed out is there is a much better 'reliability test' in Top Gear for a 13 year old Toyota Hilux. gets?

kung tinignan mo yung comments sa youtube, yan din ang pinopoint out nila.

Eherm.

A 13-year old Hilux.

No electronics. Nothing complicated. Diesel, so there are no spark plugs to foul, and it can run with its electrical system pretty much fragged. Heavy diesel ironblock to boot, so it'll survive being run without a cooling system for a little bit, too. Much thicker metal than they probably use today.

Set fire to a brand-new Hilux and it's dead. The ECU inside the cabin would go within the first half-hour. Sink it in seawater and the electronics would be muttering their death murmurs. The high pressure injectors would be whimpering after that, too.

Older cars are always stronger, only because they're made of cruder, thicker sheet and frames, and because the simpler the mechanism, the longer lasting it is. My dad killed a huge oak tree with his car back in the 60's. A lot of old-school racers run open air intakes (*sigh* how I miss the sight of velocity stacks on dual webbers... ), but many modern cars have sensors in the intake that'll give out if you run them that way for too long.

The Hyundai video merely shows something some of us know already... Hyundai uses thick sheetmetal for their vehicles. That's all.

Of course, I'd rather have a Hyundai Santa Fe than a Toyota RAV4, but that's just personal... :lol:

From the Santa Fe thread:

Bad Trip ako yesterday....While on my way to Alabang from Calamba, A speeding crosswind kissed the ass of my SF. Ang hirap talagang maganda SUV mo, nakakalimutang mag-preno ang sumusunod sa iyo.

My kids were all shaken by the impact. Thanks GOD, safe naman kaming lahat.
Kakaasar nga e, 915km plang ODO reading ko, nabangga na agad.

One thing i can say with our santa fe..Matibay po sya... kahit malakas ang impact sa likod ko, bumper lang ang nagalusan. But i insist on Bumper change sa insurance ko.


My Lovely SF


The ugly X-wind

Being a Crosswind owner, I should be offended, but since he was the one who did the bumping, he deserves it, hehehe.
