The main problem with Hyundai is going to be coming back from their past. I know of two people who bought excel's when they came out in 1986. Both of them did not even run 50,000 miles, and were breaking down constantly when they did run. I certainly think they are better now, but I would still be apprehensive on purchasing one. That is not to say I do not like some of the new ones. I do like the V6 Genesis coupe and the V8 Genesis sedan, at least the looks of them.
I'm not sure but they certainly abide by those set here.
yeah my Elantra is one of the cleanest cars on the road
however, i hope Hyundai isn't going to sacrifice its emerging quality for some sort of production goal. i mean obviously there is room to grow, as Hyundai is not the worlds largest automaker and the worlds largest make quality cars. and it would seem from the article Hyundai has the capacity
still, if they take their eye off the quality ball eventually to produce MORE vehicles....i think the CEO of Toyota recently said thats what happened with them. "Worlds Largest Automaker" doesn't mean much of your autos slip down a rung or two in some important areas trying to get bigger, but not better
so hopefully all this "speed" and production is something the company can do along with the quality. they certainly are an interesting mainstream automaker to watch, and i saw my first new Tuscon on the road today
now, i don't know if i want a Tuscon OR a Genesis Coupe!
Hyundai just recently passed its 1,000,000th US-produced car, and its opening more NA plants, so I'd guess its adhering to US standards for manufacturing at least here in the US.

I think Hyundai has had 15 months of sales growth, so I'd say it has at least started to shake its old reputation. Same with Ford.

Either way, they seem to know how to run a plant efficiently.
