Any forum suggestions?

Yes, make a forum like Azera vs. All, and all comparisons or whatever can go in there.**Especially when car magz put azera vs. others, we can post reviews there and such.**Good ideas there.

Hi. My first post!

I'd suggest you name the rivals in the forum name if you go this route, simply so you can snag people investigating those cars when they run Google searches on them.

It might be too many forums that way though. Unless I only put like 3 forums for 3 different cars.

Googlebot visits the forum like daily, so if there are threads named "Azera vs. Avalon" it would index them as well. So I'm not sure which one to make yet multiple different ones or just one for all and then put threads inside.

Let me know what you guys think about either ideas.

mabye a dealer forum

where everyone posts every little bit of info about thier dealer

(location phone email adress, all that)
and a small review (mabye like a star rating 1-5

and then people who are yet to buy an azera or want to shop around the country can take advantage of this info.

and mabye you could send send the hyundai director of sales and marketing a letter asking him to put the azera forums name throughout dealers (ex:brocures) that kind of stuff

just some ideas

Hmm, dealer forum is a good idea. I'll think about that one when I put rest of the forums in.

About contacting hyundai's marketing department, that probably won't work, but I can try. Although those who are interested in posting on an azera message board can just type in Azera forum in google and this site comes up, so it's pretty easy to find it.

But would be nice if they were to put azeraforum.com on their brochures.

Well, undoubtedly someone besides me has noticed this is a fast car! So like some of the other performance car sites how about a "kill stories" section telling about how red the Mustang gt drivers face got when he was beaten to 60mph! aha haha!

The word of mouth is the only way we are going to get more people to join this board. It appears that many people visit the board but do not comment on postings. Maybe they think they may be tracked or maybe they think that it costs money but for whatever reason people who are interested in purchasing a Azera come here first and see what others say about the car.

This is a good board with good members. I do hit on other boards but I get more information out of this Azera board.

Azera members need to talk up this board so we can get more members who can express their feelings about the Azera. This is how I became a member, as I was looking to buy an Azera and this board is where I gathered most of my information.

It would also help if Hyundai advertised Azera as much as Sonata.

You got that right. Azera may be a three year and out car. If they don't sell hyundai will surely pull the line.

Reading between the lines, if the North Korea situation continues to get worse in the next six months, there very well may not be any more Hyundai's. North Korea hates the south and with a million man army South Korea has a slim change to stay afloat if there is an invasion. This is a very messy situation over there and anything can happen when you have a insane nut like this guy running a country. The question is what do they really want and what means are they going to threaten the world to get what they want?

I would hate to live in South Korea with this powder keg ready to blow.

Although this is new car and the proplems are few so far, but over time a collection of problems and solutions would be helpful in a tips and tricks section where there are all of the posted repairs, solutions, and technical data available.. Like, for instance, I really want to know all the dealer programable options that can be set with this car... but I cannot get any comprehensive information yet.. not even from the dealer... there should be a list some where available.

Doesn't South Korea have latest American military tech though?

I'm pretty sure US and Japan wouldn't allow NK to invade the South.
