"I'm just wondering why it took Hyundai so long to do it. I'm not quite sure, maybe it's the pressure from other brands."

"You look at Hyundai cutting the prices and you'd think they probably cut the specifications etc, but that's not even the case. They are putting in more equipment in these cars, especially for the entry-level models."
