Ok now then its not such a wise decesion. Better opt for white or a grey tone then. Or at least get a car cover even before you buy the car. Remember a black car looks the best if its maintained and the worst if its not. But then again you probably knew that.
cheers

as i said, it could have been a problem with the Test Drive car, but then, i am driving a Tucson daily, and when starting the Accord, it felt like starting the Tucson. the smoothness of a petrol engine wasnt there...

Anshuman: the Sonata V6 is also on its way for sure, but when, i wudnt know.

The 1.5L difference would be partly made up in resale value.

i doubt there would be a market for the v6 though. People havent actually taken to the new sonata's looks. But the engine is a different matter altogether.

day by day i am now seeing more of Sonata's on HYD Roads, 90 % of them are either Black or White! none blue :(

hey buddy was reading through the whoole post seeing how well u defend hyundai and at times i too felt the embera had a edge over the accords and camry(not menitoned here)...but saying the color black "fades" is t true. i have owned many a black cars..with my humble cielo which was balck..and after subjecting it to harsh treatment it has not loooked a faint less black than what i had brought it in. also my camry is also blsck ...i always htink black cars add to the look of the car..i agre its hadr to maintain it...as my camry has started showing scrathces already...but not faded...nowadays car companies use good dyes and paints in their cars just like hyundai does to their cars...those were in the past..black color now even on a m800 resists fading....cheers....

hey RAcing, well so u are a black lover too

I personally do like black a lot, but yea, dad also feels the same as u abt black making the car look more classy kinda.

White's making the Laura look too dull, jus saw the black and white both yesterday.

Beeman · 10th January 2006, 16:19

Yes white is what i call the taxi cab colour!!

racing4cure · 10th January 2006, 17:46

actually white color commands a higher premium u know....

Beeman · 10th January 2006, 21:12

yes cause cabbies wanna but them later and put diesel engines in them.

Insane Devil · 11th January 2006, 00:03

or maybe put GAS!

natural, rite outta their a**! hahahahaa

ok nothing much different between the 2 cars.

I would vote for sonata as it is cheaper.

But for me ford mondeo is way better car than the other two.
