Brands like HYUNBEST and CARSUN
THATSUN
Why do the Chinese sellers love the word Sun so much?
Amazon Basics, that's hilarious!
See her win the NY marathon laced up Asics
But when she go she drive off in Amazon Basics
Oh she a gold digga
Way over town
That digs on me
Paradoxically somehow all with better quality control than actual Hyundai

I bet the delivery guy would still pretend he knocked the door and still mark it as if no one was home
Article I could see before paywalled says auto dealers will be able to sell on Amazon. So this won't be Hyundai selling direct to customers which is the way it should be in 2024. So this isn't a win.
Honestly I'd rather it was the manufacturer etc selling directly online rather than through Amazon.
Wait until we get a seller HYUNDAISHOPCH that has 5/5 ratings but sends you a scale model car instead, them you find out the ratings were for carpets not cars.
So it's going to be like TrueCar or Kelly Blue Book where you give your info and then get harassed for weeks by every dealership in a 500 mile radius?
To be fair the current automotive market creates a lot of dealerships and reduces the risk for car yard salesmen etc and gives the customer the opportunity to shop around, it's just that with the recent concerns like global warming, e bikes becoming popular and the cartel of automotive techs, the competition has shifted away from dealerships and low level players towards pressuring producers to create a paradigm shift for everyone else to fit into. Another problem for the engineers
Tow truck drop off of a giant cardboard box with Hyundai logos 🤣
It's crazy they felt this was a necessary step vs creating their own online storefront. I understand the convenience and appeal of Amazon when it comes to daily basics and essentials. But a car? How often does one buy a car?
I have a feeling Amazon offered it to them, not the other way around.
Well look man Amazon has the infrastructure and means so I don't see why not
Maybe Amazon can drone deliver a car to your house.
They could even drop it via a parachute.
Haha, would only work in NZ or somewhere small like Switzerland
I was going to say this is hardly another package, but they are probably already experienced dealing with containers at some point of the chain?
How do cars even get transported in bulk.
You've seen those semis carrying cars.
So we will get the volatile amazon markup pricing vs random dealer markups?
November 1st: $25,000
Black Friday: ~~$50,000~~ $25,000 50% off!
It's Amazon.. You forgot about Cyber Monday but are spot on about the pricing.
Not even. I've seen items that show a discount but keepa shows that the price history is a flat line
That's when it's marked off the "RRP" bit shady
Free returns with Prime? I hope so
Prime 2 day shipping for the win
Why do they want to make Bezos even richer?
Anybody got a non paywalled version?

Not exactly what you asked for.
Thanks for this! Just added it to Firefox, but I can't seem to get past the paywall. Do you have any suggestions?
