Coming soon to GT: Corporate sponsorships and new names for football field and basketball gym

[Papa Foxtrot]

oops - wrong thread.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I guess the key to replacing any homage to old dead white guys is enough money.

 

[Lil G]

I hear certain models of Kia and Hyundai are big targets of car thieves these days.

I just got my letter in the mail from kia about this. Free software installations at the dealer that prevent this.

what does the software do to help with this? IDK. Forensic thinks it might be an electronic kill switch. IDK

 

[LongforDodd]

I hope Hyundai doesn't hang a Hyundai "Marquee" like the TECH on the Tech tower around the stadium somewhere without that electronic kill switch software for the H.

 

[MonroeJacket]

I stealing the “H” off the stadium gonna be the new thing?

Will prob have “Hyundai Field” at each 25 yard line too.

 

[grandpa jacket]

The list of affected vehicles includes numerous 2021 and 2022 models, hardly what I would call older.

Really these cars are steps below Toyota and Honda.

We have a 2021 Kia Telluride and I can tell you it is NOT a step down from Toyota or Honda. It is one of the nicest SUV's I've driven, and I've driven most of them. Kia and Hyundai have pivoted from what they were when they first came into the US market to a strong alternative to Toyota/Honda, often better with higher quality and better safety.

 

[leatherneckjacket]

Other than some road noise, both our Hyundai's are excellent. Their cars have improved vastly over the past few decades and are as good as Toyota and Honda.

 

[Techster]

You get a lot of tech in Hyundais and Kias as well. I'm a Toyota/Lexus guy, but I would 100% drive those Genesis/Hyundai/Kias if any other brand.

The Hyundai/Kia hate is weird. They are arguably the only major OEM that has EVs that compare favorably with Tesla. I have an EV6 that is one of the nicest cars I've driven. 250+ miles of range, AWD, very quick DC fast charging.

I mainly remember the Kia dealer radio commercials when I was a kid, "Do you have a job?! Do you have $500?! Then you can buy yourself a BRAND NEW KIA!"

The other part I've read on multiple car forums but never experienced is that Kia/Hyundai dealers/service departments are as bad as they were in the past. Hyundai are trying to go upscale with Genesis, and Genesis vehicles are very nice. I almost bought a GV70 a year ago. But most Genesis dealerships are still Hyundai dealers with a small Genesis add-on. Hyundai corporate is trying to separate them like Lexus/Toyota, Nissan/Infiniti, and Honda/Acura, but the dealerships have fought back and won so far to keep the Genesis vehicles under their roof without having to fork over for a brand new location or expensive add-on.

New Genesis Dealerships seem to be pooping up now, finally.

And “Third Down and Seven … brought to you by your local Hyundai dealer. Back to the action at Hyundai Field …”

And “Third Down and Seven … brought to you by your local Hyundai dealer. Back to the action at Hyundai Field …”

To be honest, sounds better than,
“ITS MONEYDOOOOWN!”

 

[Vespidae]

No, Geoff is using that during quality time with the spouse while wearing a bow tie and otherwise naked. “Hey Hon! It’s Money Down! ”

At some point in the coming years we can transition to Philo Dough.

Sorry… I decided I couldn’t “like” that. That’s a visual I didn’t need today!

 

[GT Jon]

With a little imagination our administration could have at least requested that the name be Genesis Field

 

[eetech]

Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field is were we are gonna be watching home games. Rolls right off the tongue.

 

[ThatGuy]

Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field is were we are gonna be watching home games. Rolls right off the tongue.

Not sure if that was intended as sarcasm...but after initial skepticism, I do think it rolls off the tongue much better than some of the suggested alternatives amongst fans.

"Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field Sponsored By Hyundai" really gives me a headache.
