New Sonata engines are 100% Hyundai design.

I was reading Smart driver , Hyundai's magazine. They said that the engiens were designed at Namyang R&D center in Korea. heres what it saids:

" To expedite the design of the new Lambda engine-the new 3.3 litre engine that is now assembled at the Montgomery facility-enginers at Hyundai's Powertrain R&D Center in Namyan, Korea, tore apart the engines of more than 70 midsize sedans

SO i'm thinking they are doing what Toyota did and Honda did for the luxury division ACura and Lexus. They too took apart many european cars like Audi and studied it..t hen made there engine.

this japanese engineering and quality overatting Bullshit really need's to stop,

I'm sure hyundai's doing just as well as toyota's Braggish Kaizen Technique or whatever the hell that is,

I'm looking forward to the new wave of hyundai's to seriously catch some headline's in leading car magazines,
