Hyundai is running away with the V8/RWD sedan market in this country. It's ok though, Ford compact car sales were up 40%......in China. It's like a complete role reversal.

$40k and im getting a lexus gs or something along those lines.

New, fully loaded, with a V8?

Sadly, $40k isn't a ton of money for a new car these days.

The only Lexus sedan offered with a V8 is the LS, and it STARTS at 71,000 for a brand new one. An LS is more comfortable, arguably, and much more luxurious. But it's much larger, heavier, and has 45 less HP than the Hyundai.
