All exclusive means is money exchanged hands. People shouldn't base their carrier choices on handset models, rather on the actual quality of the service. It sucks that these deals happen and people on other networks get screwed.

Aren't KIA's almost rebadged Hyundais? They seem pretty similar and Kia seems to have its own Sonata and Elantra.

Kia is still seen as bottom of the barrel from most people I've seen while Hyundai has gained some acceptance.

Hyundai is comparable to Toyota and Honda outside the United States (or at least viewed). That's probably one of the reasons why the brand will be launched outside the US first.

I was one of those who was originally in the market for a TSX but ended up with a Lexus.

I don't know how they could even call it entry level luxury sometimes, more like a stretched/long wheel base Honda civic (last generation). (Yes, I know it's based on the Euro Accord). When I got into an IS it was such a step up I couldn't go back to the TSX dealership (i still haggled Lexus saying I was going to buy the TSX though ;). )

Honda seriously really needs to step it up with their designs. The last decent one was the 06 Civic coupe and that's just the exterior. I used to be a Honda fan but now I'm hardly looking at Honda's when I purchase a vehicle.

LG continues to copy Motorola. Now when a new MotoKRZR color appears LG is going to be like they are copying us again.
