100% disagree. I'm on my 6th hyundai and its a great car. I've also owned 2 Subaru and a honda minivan. (plus there was that time I had a shitty used chevy equinox lemon). The first Subaru was great. I've never liked the minivan but I'ved loved all of my Hyundais.

I feel like this is the old Hyundai. But over the last ~5 years or so they've redesigned everything. Quality wise I'd put the "feel" on par with Honda and Toyota. Only time will tell if the quality really holds up, but they offer longer warranties than both Honda and Toyota so at least they have confidence in the longevity of their product.

I was really impressed with the Hyundai Palisade - their new three row SUV. To the point I would consider it as my next car. Anyway, I talked about it with my wife, and with my friend over g-talk. I went on cars.com to see what is available as well - I do not have an account there. that was within a day or two of the actual show. Nothing more after that. A couple days ago I get a mailer from Hyundai about the Palisade. WTF? I did not fill anything out, I haven't owned a Hyundai for almost 20 years. Coincidence?
One of the nicest vehicles on the road for the form factor. FYI there is a Hyundai sponsored YT channel that watches what you eat for lunch.

Along these lines, my wife was using snapchat not long ago and for some reason we were talking about outlets while she was using the app. The very next day or maybe even the same day, there was a filter for an outlet face. Motherfuckers listening in does bother me but fascinates me at the same time. This is why I don't have a smart speaker in my house (I have one that I got for free but it's not plugged in).
