Hyundai Motor Group, opens new tab said on Wednesday it will invest 68 trillion won ($51 billion) over three years in South Korea to ramp up electric vehicle production and new mobility business and separately hire 80,000 new employees, doubling down at a time when other established automakers are slowing efforts.
More than half of the investment, or 35.5 trillion won, will be allocated for new research and development infrastructure and assembly lines for EVs, the automaker said in a statement.

Hyundai is really working to replace Honda and Toyota. I think public perception has shifted to equate them already.

Not. A. Chance.

 

Look what happens at re-sale. Toyotas maintain their value, possibly more than any other brand. Hyundais plummet.

Yeah, that is true still. Oddly too because Hyundai's have actually passed Toyota's in reliability by several reports I just skimmed.

Those reviews are bought and paid for. It’s all short term reliability. Long term, they remain atrocious.

This 2024 Cybertruck has just sold on eBay for a price that shows that the hype surrounding the futuristic-looking vehicle is pretty much over. To drive the almost brand-new Cybertruck home, the winner of the online auction offered $151,200.
