Hyundai snaps up former Ford Focus RS Chief Engineer for it's prized N Division - Here's what it means..
let's not forget the latest addition (a few years now) of Tyrone Johnson the ex-head chief of Ford RS/ST division (spent 33 years at the blue oval). IIRC, he is handling duties in Europe...

Spent the day yesterday doing a complete detail. Leather seats where coated with Gyeon Leather Shield and the rest was wiped down with Gyeon Interior.
Exterior got a strip wash, clay towel, prep wipe down and finally 3D One polish with microfiber pads. Car was in great shape with only light minor marring. Used a graphene spray coating to finish her off.
So now I’ve had the full traffic light of colored Stingers or mustard, ketchup and relish! Window tint goes on July 15th, the shop is backed up. Debating getting the front bumper covered with PPF. My gunmetal grey TSW Sprint wheels go on tomorrow and the stockers will be regulated to winter duty.

Re: Yes, I bought a KIA
Over all those results are pretty interesting.
Honda, who has typically scored high on in years past is now below average.
Chevy, Cadillac, and Buick are way up on the list, but GMC is a hair above average. Since GM has essentially stopped building cars, the trucks and SUV's are all variations of each other. How did GMC score so low?
The opposite goes with the Stellantis (still can't say that with a straight face) products. Dodge scored really high, but the rest score pretty low like they normally do despite utilizing many of the same platforms and parts.
Ford and Lincoln scored much higher than I would have predicted from personal observations, those I've known who own Ford products, and the problems Ford has gone through with the roll out of new products.

Re: Yes, I bought a KIA
I look forward to seeing both.
I need to read up both, but I really like the look of the EV6. Saw a picture and made a mental note to find out more...and then lost the note. Thanks for the reminder!

There was a Mocker-E behind it and there was NO comparison

Re: Yes, I bought a KIA
I had a 2013 Hyundai Genesis sedan and it was probably the best car I ever owned. 6yrs of ownership across nearly 70k miles and the only thing that went wrong with it was the passenger side door lock actuator, which the dealer fixed for free for me as it was out of their 5 yr warranty.
(PS - the black paint it had seemed like it would scratch if you gave it with a stern look)
