What do you think of New Hyundai Genesis?

[SilverSquared 10+ year member]

Hyundais arent that bad. I like the sonata, and the genesis looks promising. I'm waiting to see what they do with the next sportscar.

I had a Hyundai Sonata rental car a few weeks ago, liked it better than the Lincoln LS rental I had in Dec. The Lincoln had more power, yes, but with a carseat in the back, I couldn't care less.

The Sonata was a very nice car, put together well, good quality, not flashy, but solid. Plus 31MPG on the highway and an MSRP of probably less than $20k, I'd suppose? Dunno offhand.

my mother had a sonata, got into a wreck and the total wasnt even worth the amount still owed on it to the dealership.

Sonatas reign SUPREME over here in Korea, haha! Its basically the number 1 trustworthy car that many people use, also family car etc.

I do not understand for the life of me why the Koreans dont make a REALLY nice high-end sports car for exporting??? They are way more technically/electroically advanced than most countries, even Japan in many areas. Also, Hyundai is like one of the worlds largest manufacturer of vehicles, and a crap load of other industrial products.

THis country is **** small and is very rocky/mountainous, so I can understand why the need not to have many sports cars here. Basically all they have here are Tuscanis/Tiburons. There arent many places to really open up a car.

But exporting is different. They are really gaining, if not equal to any car maker out there.

For those of you wondering what a 35k Hyundai looks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Genesis

Personally I love Hyundais as beaters they are great and used to be VERY VERY cheap cars. As for spending 35k on a Hyundai I don't think so, same goes with Kia.

Hyundai just steals from everyone.

2003-2004, that era Sonata mirrors a mercedes.

Genesis mirrors a BMW body/Lexus front styling.

Originality would be nice, but a cheaper alternative to higher priced, similarly styled model is nice aswell. 375 horsepower IIRC? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

I drove a Sonata from NYC back to NC a year ago...honestly, I hated it. Either it needed an alignment really bad or it just wasn't liking highway travel all that much. Then again, I'm not a small car person usually.

I agree 35K for Hyundai is too much.

Id rather go with 3 series or TL .

Or even cheaper 2008 Accord.

Bullshit, South Korea and Canada are two completey different nations (yes, I googled it). Pick a country and stick with it.
