V8 engine is an absolute first for a Hyundai, so you never know if it will be any good. The V6, I prefer American as well. I am sure I am not the only one, but I prefer Buicks and Cadillacs over any Lexus, Infiniti, Hyundai.
50 years ago ALL Americans were loyal domestic fans. You're right... there is a hardcore bunch that will only buy domestics... but if Toyota can convince 400,000+ people per year to buy a Camry instead of a Malibu or Fusion, I think that Hyundai will be able to convince more than a few to steer away from the tired Buick sedans with this thing. Buick could very well do a very competitive sedan if they do it in the same vein as the Enclave... but that car isn't out, and won't be anytime soon.
