    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Would you buy a Korean Super car if it makes to US?

Was just bored. This is like my only favorite Korean car. It was designed and built by a young, new, small company in Korea, formerly known as Proto Motors, yet they got bankrupt, and now owned by the company called Oulim Motors and they made the new version of the original which had Mustang V8 with 319HP that had 0-60 times of 4.4 seconds, now the car(the GT which is the name for the new Spirra) makes 600HP for one model(rumorred to make 0-60 of around 3.8 seconds), and there is another version that makes 700HP(rumorred to go 0-60 in around 3.3 seconds). You can view some footages of the car here:

The new one(the yellow one in the footages) is rumorred to go on sale in Korea soon, and will probably be exported to Japan shortly afterwards, but no words on US market. The cars are 100% made by hand, and the original that was made by Proto Motors(with lambo type scissior door) was rumorred to be sold in Korea for around $80,000 in US equivalent. Though the rumor has it that, the car NEVER went on sale due to the company's finantial problems even though the company was registerred legally as Korea's 6th Auto maker several years ago. The new car may cost a bit more, but if the car makes to the US, and if you have money, would you buy one?

Just out of curiosity.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
I would. I hate people who don't buy a car or won't even give it the time of day because it was made in "this country" versus "that country". The Proto is a nice looking car with nice power. The closest I've gotten to seeing and driving this car is in Forza 2 :)
 
The car looks very nice. I'd have no issue with buying one if I could afford it..
 
Not if it rides like a genesis Sedan ( all right don't anyone get upset, just a bit of humor )

Ya me too, I wouldn't want my sports car to have the same nice comfortable ride that my Genesis has.

I like my sports cars to have a nice firm sports suspension :D
 
If that what I was in the market to buy, I'd definitely consider it. I think we are all over the brand snobbery of Lexus, BMW, etc, or we would have not purchased what we have. I'm lovin' my Genesis enough to do it again.
