Passed a trailer full on I-265 in Louisville yesterday

Nice catch on the pic! SCs for everyone! Woohoo! No….What am I saying? If everyone has one…then they’ll be more common and less extraordinary. Maybe that’s a good thing? But I like being kind of unique in my choice of vehicle. 😳

I agree, but we want enough sold to where they will continue to make them..

Not necessarily. I had a Toyota Supra MK4 Twin Turbo. Made from 1994 to 1998. It became a niche car. After they quit making them, it became so desirable, that people were paying up to three times the original sticker price. For used ones!

 

[GaryH]

Chris’s Cruz ….
If that happens, you may have to get used to chipping black chrome and not dump it! 😳

 

[Chris's Cruz]

No I went above and beyond with the purchase of this vehicle. $ 45,000 + $ 2,700 for the Platinum Warranty. I will try to use the lemon law. I have already looked into it. I have had a law firm on retainer for years. I will let them handle it if need be. Just very sad. I really wanted to like this truck and other Hyundai's to come.

 

[GaryH]

Well…if a chipping chrome front piece could make you do a lemon law, maybe you just don’t like it more than a bit? Not that it should do this….but the issue can be mostly fixed with PPT. I could see a lemon law for trans or engine, or even bad paint.
Good luck getting your Cruz swapped.

Limited production doesn't automatically mean desirable. I had a very rare yet unpopular car, a Volvo C30... and trust me it was no fun owning something that nobody can service or get parts for. Thankfully the SC is based on the Tuscon which Hyundai's best seller, the engine and tranny are shared with other H/K vehicles so hopefully the SC is supported well for years to come and doesn't become a rare bird or orphan.

⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆ TRUTH!

Well JMII, Only Hyundai can make sure that happens. The Supra was a great sports car. No quality problems. It was topping out at $ 49,000.00 new. That was Toyota's fault.

 

[Chris's Cruz]

Hyundai prides themselves on advanced engineering and quality ( Owners manual 1-2 ). That can easily be disputed.

Well I can accept that...

GaryH, I can not even get to a shop to do that. I also look at the Maverick and Ridgeline with audible backup warning alerts and fold down rear seats, and say, why them Hyundai? Why not the Santa Cruz?!?. They have everything ( minus the trunk and cooled seats for the Maverick ) the Santa Cruz has (except the self leveling shocks ) and even more.

Its not a question of good or bad quality or even original price - its about how many they make and if they prove popular over the long term. The Supra is a desirable classic for many reasons. Now look at the DeLorean, it was POS (under-powered and expensive) new, but its value has gone up since its an iconic movie car: The much-maligned DeLorean DMC-12 may be getting the last laugh - Hagerty Media

 

[Chris's Cruz]

True on the DeLorean. Yet it was the movies of " Back To The Future " that made that car famous. Now if we could just get the Santa Cruz worthy of an audition.
