2009 Hyundai Genesis, now i always hated Hyundai ... I found this type of car on their lot last week and thought it was a G35, it just caught my attention so lat night i actually stopped and checked out the name of the car and Youtubed it ..

Its not bad, v6 and v8, v8 RWD pushing 375hp, v6 i think RWD 290hp ..

Interior seems to be nice, the exterior is really nice, Price tag 40-45k

they are competing agaisnt BMW 7 series, Mercedes, what you guys think.

Would you buy this type of vehicle?
 
Yeah, it was in Car and Driver awhile ago.. Actually, I think they first tried to put it against the BMW 5-series although I hear it is bigger on the inside than a 7-series. V8 I believe is a 4.6 L. I personally haven't seen any, but I think the LS 's styling is a lot better. Also, I think the name is gay.
 
im yet to see one in person. i was a little impressed when i first heard about it, but when i finally do see it i expect it to still look like a hyundai.

Click to expand...

when you see it, it will look exactly like the one in the video!!! listen to the guy he says this is the production version, so that is what she'll look like!
 
Yes, the car was featured on the Super Bowl commercials last Feb. Looks to be a nice car. I'll have to check it out.
 
No offense but its still a Hyundai.

They have been making these "knock off" so to say luxury type cars for a bit and this one is no exception to the lack of originality.

It has BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes all wrapped into one cheap car.
 
Apparently the car does not handle well. It's got all the luxury options, but not the handling, from what I've read in the first drive reviews.
 
its tough to get over the Hyundai badge on it. i think i could find something better to spent 45K on
 
WHAT!? I didnt even get to the price of the thing, 45K and you could get a real luxury car that this one has been based on!!!


The overall body lines are that of a Lexus LS 430 or LS 460. The front is that of a Mercedes in a way and those taillights look like a BMW.
 
Yeah, all the new cars are starting to look alike. I see them on the freeway and I have to take a secound look to to make out the model of a car. No originality anymore.
 
I see lots of originality just not from Hyundai or KIA for that fact as well.
 
isn't Hyundai a Korean made car? if so, i told myself i would never deal with a Korean built car. my wife's daewoo is a major PITA to work under the hood. I don't care how good it looks (which it doesn't)
 
Like JWerner said... still a Hyundai and it has a stigma attached to it.


Also... WTF is an article about a Hyundai doing in the LS thread?
 
I found that the LS forum is all whacked out with good intentions:D .


Pretty much it seems as if LS owners use it to just BS around no matter what the topic is. And I think that can be damn cool but......:D its still a Hyundai;)
 
I know that people mis-use threads all the time. I mean this as more of a blasphemy.
 
That thing is a joke! Hyundai does everything they can to copy successful cars to the extent that they hide (or eliminate) their own logo from the car.

The front screams S-class look-a-like with some styling from the M35. The interior is so close in shape to a BMW it is shameful.

They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery but damn. I guess it is simply a game of follow-the-leader for Hyundai.

How can that boat share the same name with the "sports car" Hyundai introduced as the "Genesis Coupe" ??? Granted the coupe looks like a Tiburon, RX-8, and 350Z wound up in a threesome and produced the bastard child called Genesis..... Get a clue Hyundai!!
