Straight line acceleration is but one measure
I agree that based on this measure the SUV is fast. The 1960 s muscle cars also did very well. The problem is that passed 120 km - h things change, fast... The first curve will result in a much different result.
I've never seen a dragster take a curve.
SUV makers know that this demonstration makes their buyers happy.

What I want to know is how the hell are they getting away with copying a MB so closely.

I am sure those that spend their $40k on them will feel they have something of value. But I would bet that very few V8's will sell to the Hyundai crowd. If a Hyundai owner is foolish enough to try to race me in my Pepper I would be happy to show them what German Engineering is all about.

What doesn't out accelerate a Boxster/Cayman?
Not exactly high up in the HP department...that is reserved for the Carreras.
Good handling though......I wonder if the Hyundai would be the Boxster in a slalom?

Do you like to repeat yourself? What is the issue there are many cars faster than Porsche's slowest sports car model. Fast 0-60 means little unless you think racing from a street light makes you have a big one. Many cars that are fast from 0-60 die out from 60-70 or aren't to fast in a 1/4 mile. How does the Hyundai do from 60-130? Can it even do 130? We are not impressed here with a fast Hyundai that nobody will buy and looks like an E class MB.

It's not an SUV but I can see why you might think so from that video.
Looks like a nice car for the money, but testing it against a Boxster is just dumb. If that's their marketing department at work they've completely missed the boat.

Silly comparison, although I must admit that I sat next to a Genesis at a traffic light for some time yesterday and it's a good looking car...albeit it's still a Hyundai.
Anthony....since this is a silly thread by a lurker I don't feel too bad hi-jacking....how'd you make out with the trailer lights? Hope all's well !
