I don't understand why the lions went deep on 1st down. Lost the game right there. They have a great drive, why go long on first and what 60?

Seen the commercial two or three times while watching the warriors game. Not a big fan of the looks but 429+ hp sounds pretty sweet

Refs were literally giving the game to the Saints in the first half which lead to some dumb playcalling in the second half by the Lions. That and they seemed to have left their defense back in Detroit. So many picks dropped. Sad game.

Look at the COST of these cars, then you realize why they suck.

Hyundai is the biggest player out there right now. Toyota used to worry about Honda, Honda used to worry about Toyota. All the stock holder meetings this would always come up. But its all about Hyundai now. They have attacked the 18-25 year old market. I am sure they are the reason for the BRZ/86. And they have also set some high marks in the "Boss" car market with some of the stuff and BMW and MBZ have not done. And they are doing that for less money.
Hyundai is not the car that used to be seen on the side of the road or in the wrecking yards.... They have learned some lessons and have come back really strong in the last 2-3 years. They even got good reviews on Top Gear.

13.3 on the 1/4 for a big heavy sedan like that isn't too shabby. I'd like to see that motor in the new-gen Genesis Coupe.
