I'm talking specifically about the design language that you don't like. The EV9 and the new Sante Fe, the Santa Cruz, the hatch IONIQ5 and even the divisive IONIQ6. I love those designs. They feel unique and bold. I would put them among some of my favorite designs of major, non-exotic manufacturers. Clearly just personal opinion but I feel like they've put out hit after hit on design, compared to whatever the hell BMW is doing as an example.

I can't really say anything about their engine design or internal components. I'm ignorant there. I'm saying I find myself intrigued by Hyundai in spite of their terrible track record because of the design language.

Setting aside much-deserved flak about the Theta II and the immobilizer, there is little-to-no argument that Hyundai has been consistently pumping out the best and most innovative designs in the large auto manufacturer space.

You say "used to". Has it been overfished?

The healthy supply of EVs may not seem as alarming considering that the industry average is a 70-day supply during “normal times,” per Axios, but ICE-equipped vehicles currently sit at a 54-day supply. And hybrids are having a particularly good year, with supply down to 44 days. Plug-in and traditional hybrids from Toyota are making the best of 2023, with current supply for the Prius and RAV4 sitting at under 30 days each. Axios claims that this reaffirms Toyota’s argument that car buyers need a “stepping stone” from ICE to EVs.

On average, AutoNews reports that 3.58 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds and 2.62 percent of 30- to 39-year-olds have been late on their auto loans by at least 90 days. For some context, just 2.13 percent of all borrowers are late. Keep in mind, these numbers are overall. In the first quarter of 2023, 4.55 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds were at least 90 days late. 3.66 percent of 30- to 39-year-olds were equally late. We haven’t seen numbers like these since The Great Recession.
