Very interesting article on Hyundai. Still Hyundai has a nagging long term reliability question. But keep in mind, long term reliability do not show up until at least 3 years after the short term reliability. With that formula, I predict the year 2007 as the target date to see if indeed all the Hyundai's 2004 accolades are for real. Year 2004 is the year when Hyundai went straight to the top in initial quality. Before that, Hyundai had consistent below average scores in initial satisfaction and reliablity. We shall see if all these latest initial quality improvements translate to long term quality.
