Wasn’t Pearl Harbour a hoax? anyways… i thought those first chevy commercials were reasonable ads to put on American television to hustle a few car sales. On another note, 116,000 kilometers on our Kia Rondo, bought new, and we’re still on the original brakes with no other repairs other than sway bar endlinks. No signs of slowing down either. Quite happy with it and would consider a Kia next time around for the wife… however, i think we’ll look at a current model Ford Edge since they’re rad. ---

The totalled 2002 volvo in my driveway still has a better paint job then the 2011 rental chevy malibu it is sitting next to. Hell even my e30s have a better paint job :).

Anyone following the news about the “Imported from Detroit” commercials? All the cars are made in canada and mexico so apparently there may be some legal action over the deceiving slogan. :tup: > **[‘Imported from Detroit’ car really from Canada, consumer group says](http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/imported-from-detroit-car-really-from-canada-consumer-group-says)** > > An American consumer lobby group is taking Chrysler to task over advertisements depicting the Chrysler 300 as “Imported from Detroit.” The luxury sedan is assembled in Brampton, Ont.In … [http://www.freep.com/article/20111013/BUSINESS01/110130389/Where-s-from-?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|s](http://www.freep.com/article/20111013/BUSINESS01/110130389/Where-s-from-?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE%7Cs) ---

I like the commercials. It’s funny though how they talk about how tough and gritty the cars are because they’re from Detroit, but really the cars are built in Canada and Mexico like you said, and the company is run by an Italian metrosexual named Sergio. Oh the irony! ---

they were good until they pushed it from the 200 which was make in Detroit. ---

I can’t remember the last time I actually laughed from something I read on a forum. I actually want a Hyundai now, that V8 Genesis is going to be sweet. And the great news is that since Hyundai’s depreciate faster than a hot lunch, I’ll be able to scoop one up really cheap in about 18 months. ---

Also Hyundai really cut back on fleet/rental sales so no more flooding the marker and auctions with those. Look at what used 11-12 sonatas are selling for $19-20k they were $20-21 brand new! Same with the genesis not really depreciating all that much. Not as much as say bmw, audi and mercedes. ---

So following up with this thread, the new commercials are a million times better. Sure, it doesn’t advertise a specific car, but it accomplishes exactly what the first batch of commercials failed horribly at: [https://youtu.be/HD8zAJIyWRA](https://youtu.be/HD8zAJIyWRA) ---
