i agree with him on this although Hyundai's are actually quite well made but if your gonna shell out 55k get a nicer brand
and if you want a Hyundai and an iPad get the accent and then buy an iPad $10,500 but no Hyundai app lol
EDIT: and why sell it with a car when you wont be using it in your car while driving
Not bad price point for them. VW was trying to sell a $70k car and that was nuts. Look at Buick trying to step up. I like the idea of the I-pad and scheduling with the dealers, but I foresee the independent shops following suit.

the sad part is that in israel taxes are so high over cars that the same accent hyunday that costs 10k in the US costs 29k over here. lets say that if an average family in israel with an income of ~4300$ could come across a luxury car in this price they'd pounce on it. over here judging by the price in the UK it'll probably sell for
110k,more or less a house or an apartment price

Wow, israel sounds like it sucks. You've got people fighting with each other over religion or some crap like that and expensive cars too.
