They are all over the place, but I do like the design of their EV6. Some people say the back is ugly, but I was behind one the other night and to me it looks cool

Ah man, that's just friggin ugly. I mean what was going through people's heads when they drew this design on paper? Let's make it big, square and ugly. And let's give it a big engine to fight that wall of air...
Oh yeah, let's glue fake wood panels all over it, maybe they will think it's real

Basically it sounds like the engine (2.4L inline-4) is so bad that multiple outfits refuse to rebuild the engine, they would rather install a replacement if they had to. Not sure if there's anything else to note, I just skimmed through up to the 8 minute mark.

Cliff notes would have been nice, pretty boring video to sit through and I'm only about 8 mins in. Don't want to watch anymore lol

Absolutely, but the fact that multiple vendors flat out refuse to rebuild the engine says a lot. Hyundai wouldn't even take the core if he bought a brand new long block from them. Sounds like the 2.4 is not worth rebuilding, which I think is why Jill posted this vid?

I just got yet another one that is trying to set itself on fire, melted tail light and it's consuming plenty of oil as usual and has carbon issues at 120k miles

I've updated my personal studies on defective lighting for recent Kia/Hyundai models: Now around 90% of them have non-working brake lights or taillights. I've been tracking this for nine years, and the percentages are climbing each year. This shows, like the engine and fire recalls, the problems have not been addressed and are only growing worse.
