I've owned the Genesis for 1 month. I've ridden in BMWs, Mercedes, Lexus, Infinitis, Acuras, VWs, and Volvos. Admittedly the European cars have stiffer handling & more sporty performance feel so if you're looking for this, the Genesis is not for you. But for you critics who think the Genesis is not as smooth as Lexus, Infiniti, or Acura-you are delusional. Smoothness of ride & quietness of cabin are on par with the Japanese competitors. I dare you to take a blindfolded ride to prove my point

genesis is like a baby version of new hyundai equus,,very luxurious car,,
of course, it is much better than lexus,bmw, mercedes, etc in my opinion..
in korea, it already came out for $95,000 above. It might come out to US by end of 2009 for around 45-55k USD. Pretty decent price for a very luxuroious car, i mean think about it, other luxury brands costs bunch to buy the car part and fixt it whereas hyundai parts are not that much and convinent. =) check out new hyundai equus..you wont regret..
never buy BMW or Benz constant service visits and really big headache no quality at all. You see BMW never talks about quality and reliability b/c BMW know that they do not sell quality but sell tons of problems both electronical and mechanical Hyundai Genesis is the BEST!!!

I bought a fake Rolex in NY. It was 10 bucks and it looks pretty damn good. Do you think I would spend close to full cost on a knock off? That's what the Hyundai is. They are immitating all high end brands.
I know it's been said before, but I can't stand that they don't have the badge on the grill. Cheap shit. If you want to raise the brand image, you need the brand on your product.
I won't buy something that isn't proud of what it is. I want to buy a real car.
lol! do u really think ppl care about what ur going to buy or not? you are one person. buy what ever your into. oh and if you buy fake Rolex then Im sure you wont be buying "BMW" "Mercedes Benz". and yes they are imitating high end brands at the moment. A prince always learns from the King. it imitates and learns from mistakes. then grows up to be better and wiser. The King passes away and the child takes the throne. Mercedes and Lexus are the present Kings. You are very short sighted.
I still don't see what that has to do with the Genesis. So, learning from others mistakes? Is that why the Genesis doesn't offer things that all other cars offer? Like both the front seats being Airconditioned?
Lexus gained their reputation through an exlusive dealer network with top notch customer service, is that why Hyundai didn't give the Genesis a different brand name? That doesn't make sense.
What Swiperluck is saying is that Lexus grew by learning from Merce and BMW. True for Hyundai to go one more step, they need to rebrand their luxury line. They already proven that they can do luxury in terms of technology and quality build, only thing left for them to do is Re-branding. Which will be next step. And I'm sure Hyundai will take in time. What Hyundai proved with Genesis is that they can build a car that's as good as any luxury car in the market with competitive price. Kudos
As good as any luxury car? No. Sure, it is competitive but the problem is that people think it is the best thing to come in ages... That simply isn't true. I am merely pointing out that there are reasons the price seams too good to be true. Because, it is. Compromise and Genesis go hand in hand. Where you think you are saving money, you are losing features, quality, technology and even brand recognition (it doesn't even show it's own badge after all). Sure it's competitive, just...
I meant to say was as good as any luxury car in its class. Of course you can't compare with Bently or Rolls Royce or Ferrari which costs 100's of thousands more. It'd be ridiculous. Performance wise, Technology wise, Genesis is pound for pound on par with Lexus and BMW. Only thing it lacks is Branding. Which takes time. How long did it take Toyota to rebrand themselves as Lexus and it was accepted and praised? This is Hyundai's first effort in luxury. I'd say impressive
However, the difference is Toyota actually launched a luxury brand. Hyundai almost did that, but it was too expensive. So, what are they more concerned with; providing the luxury experience at exclusive dealers or saving money? Lexus gained respect by offering the service. They're very different things. I don't think brand(badge)-less imitation of other luxury cars is impressive. Especially when it doesn't even offer the features of the cars it copies.
just the fact that you idiots are comparing the genesis to all these other luxury cars means that hyundai has succeeded with this car. 10 years ago, you wouldn't have heard Mercedes and Hyundai in the same sentence. Now Mercedes is STEALING the head designer from Hyundai. Get your head out of your asses and accept the fact that Hyundai is quickly becoming a real contender.
Please! Don't kid yourself. Hyundai will NEVER be a real contender. There have been countless articles saying that the Genesis interior is still slightly inferior to that of the Germans and other Japanese autos.
Why the fuck should it matter if the Genesis used a few derivative features? I think it's an excellent car by Hyundai, be it the "wannabe Mercedes/BMW/Lexus" you seem to make it. Of course, I'd sooner buy a Mercedes, BMW, or Lexus if I had that kind of money, but I think we should give Hyundai some credit, especially given the amazing price-quality ratio.

Looks cheaply made? Are you blind? Either that or stupid one. This car has much better fit and finishes than almost anything Lexus offers. This car has everything and more than its Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW counterparts.
I work in the auto industry, I have driven pretty much every luxury car (really); Hyundais are completely unrefined pieces of crap, you are ten times better off staying out the 'luxury' bracket and just buying a Honda. This reminds me of the housing market; a bunch of suckers thinking they can buy a 'luxury' car for ten grand less than the competition; this car will be worth as much as a Honda Civic in five years, if it still runs.
People are stupid, it's all about the name. I say this because I just got the new full optioned Acura TSX, when I could just got a used previous fully optioned rear wheel Lexus IS250, Honda Accord V6 coupe fully loaded, or any of the used infiniti G35 for much less....
whatever HYUNDAI says, ppl who thinks they really gonna get$20000 discount,I sayHYUNDAI did great job onMarketing AD.Large sedan market($40k)~what's outThereAnyway? Avalon,Towncar,Caddy,Malibu,300.Avalon empty can sort of feel,Towncar~driving cheap limo, Caddy~not the Caddy it used to be anymore, malibu?,300~macho look with down market material all over.I don't see Y ppl try to put down Genesis.Benz&BMW? common they are $60k and up!!dumbass!!but I could seeHYUNDAI gotta work on it's brand image.
Didn't Sonata prove it's money's worth?? Well, now it's stepping up to $40000 market.. Stop comparing with $60000 cars out there, With all that options IT already killed $30000large sedan market competition, I got Avalon and I already like this one.. Avalon rides soft and handle pretty ok but It's damn light for the size, YOu could feel every little bumps.. Gen's V8+RWD+ventSEAT,NAV..etc American brands? puhaha, what do they have? BUick? Malibu? Crown Vic? Common,,, BE reasonable ppl.
wow I see a lot of hyundai haters. well now you guys should stop cussing it out and start watching hyundai, cuz hyundai auto group sold more cars/trucks than Honda, Nissan and Chrysler.... world wide in 2007. that's top 5 in the world.
finally,Hyundai builds a midsize "luxecutive" car that looks -and actually is- ready to take on BMW,Infiniti,Lexus and Mercedes-Benz for the world title
Japanese are copy of my dick. Don't believe? Ask those hundreds of Japanese girls with hairless pussy. I spew out my white prides deep inside those tender cunts so much so that I might have hundreds of Japanese children of my own. Japanese are also copy of untermenschen. Russian to be exact.
Then, stop copy our industry! You call Japan war criminal because we lost to US. If there were no US's involvement, you are now salve of Japan. Isn't that shame to sitting wining side without real power? and behind triamph of US?
And then Korea is copy of ancient China? And China is copy of some tribe of central asia. And goes back to Africa. Now, US and Aussi are copy of UK. You want to go more? For researcher, China/Korea belong to same cultual segment and Japan belong to totally different cultural group. Study before talk.
It's dumbasses like you Gosling3, who give us Americans a bad name. Korea is not a copy of China; Korea is a totally distinct cultural/racial entity from China. Japan, meanwhile, IS a carbon copy of Korea, in fact of an ancient Korean kingdom called Baekje, as already mentioned. By the way, it's been scientifically proven that the Japanese share over 90% of their genes with Koreans.
Get yourself an education- it comes in handy sometimes. Btw I'm a white American in case you're wondering.
So what? I still disagree Japan is copy of Korea. And ancient history and gene discussion have no relation to this vid. But if you still want to go deeper, why don't you explain how Baekje effected to Japan?
Correction- you're not an American. You're probably a Japanese by the way you defend Japan (also judging by the standard of your English- no offence). I agree that ancient history and gene discussion have no relation to this vid- but remember it's you who started this dumb talk and I'm merely trying to correct your flawed grasp of Korean/Japanese history. As for how Baekje affected Japan, we could have a very nice discussion, but I doubt if you'll understand much.
Pulsarbeam/I red few books written by Japanese scientist based on blood stamp and cultural heritages they it explains how Japanese formed as mixed rascial race. I know ppl from Korean penisula migrated from very west of Japan and several thousand of yrs ago and moved toward North and mixed with very few original Japanese. BUT, SO WHAT? what does it explains? Korean superiority? Is it relevant here? DO NOT try to be smart when you just read a book and start think you are Japan specialist.
Gosling3- as I said, I'm only correcting your fundamentally flawed understanding of history. I think you've some proper reading to do.
Back to the car- yes, some aspects of the Hyundai may resemble a Toyota, though in fact it's taken more design cues from BMW, Audi and Benz. But as an American I find it amusing that you should criticize Hyundai so much when not so long ago all of the Japanese 'premium' cars were mere copies of German models. What would a German possibly think of your comments?
Put an honest opinion is not dump talk! Feel offended by Korean (I understand that)BUT I do not understand why you jump into this! BTW, this car is just a copy of Toyota Crown.
This Tau engine is the most powerful naturally aspirated v-8. They did away with unreliable turbo system to create such a high power. I bet there will be many third party turbo/supercharge companies offering to increase the horsepower to over 500HP marks. Who would buy Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Chrisler when they can buy V-8 at the similar price?
Because Hyundai budge is cheap and not cool. Woman repeller brand. They see you a poor guy who cannot afford Japanese, US or EU cars but would really like to drive big car and hope someone see him drice Merc by mistake. You got what I mean?
Hyundai has many critics because they are eating up the competition very fast. Because Hyundai not only dominate the huge container tanker ship market in the world but contruction, finance and now they are after an automotive industry. People ought to be scared. Very scared. They only employs ph.d engineers from top 5 universities.
Mitsubishi build 50% of total huge ships back in 50s and 60s. They gave up because it not pay well. Korean chase Japanese in everyway but not making profits.
GM and Ford is giving up many factories for the same reason Mitsubish quit building ships. Japanese pussies are chasing Korean men for the same reason as well. There is no incentives in Japanese cock.
Who in the world believe Japan chase Korea?? THE OTHER WAY ROUND! Korea copy almost everything from Japan. I mean EVERYTHING! cars, ship-building, semiconductors TVs even animes, snaks, sports like kendo countless other things. You must re retarded.

HAHAHAHA.....Just like shoes you can get the real thing or buy the look-a-likes at Payless Nothing wrong with it. At the end of the day all you have is the imitation shit!
Uh, not too long ago the Japs were the "imitation" shit with their Lexus/Acura/Infiniti. All 3 of which copied from BMW & M-Benz. And before them, nobody considered anything from Europe to be luxurious, here in America it was Cadillac, Lincoln & Chrysler. What makes you think the Koreans can't improve big time? They've made HUGE leaps. Not even Honda/Acura offer a RWD V-8 car. Drive it first.
I agree. I mean we are talking about spending money to automobile. if this sedan is sporty/ and has a better interior design then e-class or 5 series and has more acceleration, room interrior same as S-class, horsepower, 5 star safety rating, more light bug stiffer than e class and 5 seriesm then hell i'm buying this car. i mean who is gonna buy those expenseive German or Japanese car? Unless you have money or not, rich ppl still tries to saves money when buying stuff.
The thing is this car does not have better interior, performance, ETC, they are just saying that, go to a BMW dealer and test drive a 525Xi and then test drive this when it comes out and you will feel and see the difference, LOOK AT THE HYUNDAI AZERA! they said it was better than the freakin' 750i and now look at it I see more 7series on the road than the azera and the azera is just another copy of a perfect car, have you see the factories they make the jap cars in??
lol get the fact. Genesis has better interior looks(design) then 5 series. you should compare both of them and you will know what i'm talkin about. 5 series is too old now. And they said Azera has more roomie interior then 7 series,...? and how can you compare 7 series to near luxury? lol

Finally! I got the chance to test drive one last night. I test drove a demo 3.8-liter V6 with 290 horses. Im not sold on it. They will start to trickle into the market early July. Yes it has a nice interior just like the BMW, but it drives just like my Chevy Impala. Does it drive like a BMW? NO, its different than my friends 525 BMW. I didnt like the brakes on the Genesis compared to the BMW. I have to say the GENESIS is a piece of shit! I only liked the trunk space and the paint color.
I will not go into details as to where I test drove it. Either you beleive it or not but the genesis also has push-button start, adaptive cruise control, and xenon headlamps....
German luxury cars are overrated, overpriced, unreliable symbols of prestige that were exposed for the trouble they are when japanese entered the luxury department. Now Korea because Mercedes is wanting Hyundai to share some of their technology.

so you are saying you testdrove in s.korea?? dude havent you read the article? u.s. will have better steering wheels . and it'll drive alot better than what you drove b4.
As I said in another video comments, it is not copycat, it is TENDENCIES, what people like. The thing is who is doing it better for good price and quality.
bueno, sin duda hyundai ha mejorado mucho en cuanto a diseño de sus vehiculos, claro tambiém en fiabilidad etc, el genesis es hermoso y es una muestra clara de que esta marca esta decidida a enfrentarse cara a cara con las marcas conocidad de lujo, otra muestra de ello es el veracruz
Check out the S-class by hyundai.....Adhesive bonding so its glued together like a 70's vette? I like the effort its more "germanese" designing that lexus adopted 15 years ago.
Well, this is only the beginning of the Hyundai Dynasty of Luxury sedan. It is true that this car is better than Any 5 or 7 series bimmers, man! Admit it.. And the price of those F**ing German cars compared to these Genesis??!? You gotta be F**KING joking. If you don't believe it then why don't to test drive one... Bimmers and Benz all Japanese copycat luxury brands out there... You have met your match!

Hyundai is really stepping up its quality and design. Although this car does look a copy of an Infiniti M45 and a Mercedes, I gotta admit I'm impressed.
but all u gotta do is wait, and ull find out how nuts hyundai actually is compared to japanese and german cars. hyundai is the fastest growing car company EVER. ull c wut i mean. dont even worry guys.
funny how M-B called lexus ls400 back in the day a "copy-cat" that same year lexus turned twice as many ls400s now hyundai is just doing the same thing
When is Hyundai going to design something of "their own"? The car is in deed good looking, but design elements are heavily from Lexus and Benz (S class), and interior design is a combo of Benz/BMW (Nav control knob), Infiniti M35/45... They are building cars with better reliability today, and it is time that they design their own, not another copy-cat.
took the words right out of my mouth. KIA does the same thing. None of their cars have original designs. Just cheap mock-ups. Lexus, MB and BMW are the companies that set new standards for a lot of cars, but hyundai and kia tend to just copy.

And then Korea is copy of ancient China? And China is copy of some tribe of central asia. And goes back to Africa. Now, US and Aussi are copy of UK. You want to go more? For researcher, China/Korea belong to same cultual segment and Japan belong to totally different cultural group. Study before talk.
Gosling3 3 years ago
It's dumbasses like you Gosling3, who give us Americans a bad name. Korea is not a copy of China; Korea is a totally distinct cultural/racial entity from China. Japan, meanwhile, IS a carbon copy of Korea, in fact of an ancient Korean kingdom called Baekje, as already mentioned. By the way, it's been scientifically proven that the Japanese share over 90% of their genes with Koreans.
Get yourself an education- it comes in handy sometimes. Btw I'm a white American in case you're wondering.
Pulsarbeam 3 years ago 2
So what? I still disagree Japan is copy of Korea. And ancient history and gene discussion have no relation to this vid. But if you still want to go deeper, why don't you explain how Baekje effected to Japan?
Gosling3 3 years ago
Correction- you're not an American. You're probably a Japanese by the way you defend Japan (also judging by the standard of your English- no offence). I agree that ancient history and gene discussion have no relation to this vid- but remember it's you who started this dumb talk and I'm merely trying to correct your flawed grasp of Korean/Japanese history. As for how Baekje affected Japan, we could have a very nice discussion, but I doubt if you'll understand much.
Pulsarbeam 3 years ago 2
Pulsarbeam/I red few books written by Japanese scientist based on blood stamp and cultural heritages they it explains how Japanese formed as mixed rascial race. I know ppl from Korean penisula migrated from very west of Japan and several thousand of yrs ago and moved toward North and mixed with very few original Japanese. BUT, SO WHAT? what does it explains? Korean superiority? Is it relevant here? DO NOT try to be smart when you just read a book and start think you are Japan specialist.
Gosling3 3 years ago
Gosling3- as I said, I'm only correcting your fundamentally flawed understanding of history. I think you've some proper reading to do.
Back to the car- yes, some aspects of the Hyundai may resemble a Toyota, though in fact it's taken more design cues from BMW, Audi and Benz. But as an American I find it amusing that you should criticize Hyundai so much when not so long ago all of the Japanese 'premium' cars were mere copies of German models. What would a German possibly think of your comments?

Uh, not too long ago the Japs were the "imitation" shit with their Lexus/Acura/Infiniti. All 3 of which copied from BMW & M-Benz. And before them, nobody considered anything from Europe to be luxurious, here in America it was Cadillac, Lincoln & Chrysler. What makes you think the Koreans can't improve big time? They've made HUGE leaps. Not even Honda/Acura offer a RWD V-8 car. Drive it first.

I agree. I mean we are talking about spending money to automobile. if this sedan is sporty/ and has a better interior design then e-class or 5 series and has more acceleration, room interrior same as S-class, horsepower, 5 star safety rating, more light bug stiffer than e class and 5 seriesm then hell i'm buying this car. i mean who is gonna buy those expenseive German or Japanese car? Unless you have money or not, rich ppl still tries to saves money when buying stuff.

The thing is this car does not have better interior, performance, ETC, they are just saying that, go to a BMW dealer and test drive a 525Xi and then test drive this when it comes out and you will feel and see the difference, LOOK AT THE HYUNDAI AZERA! they said it was better than the freakin' 750i and now look at it I see more 7series on the road than the azera and the azera is just another copy of a perfect car, have you see the factories they make the jap cars in??
sidekick3iskool 3 years ago
lol get the fact. Genesis has better interior looks(design) then 5 series. you should compare both of them and you will know what i'm talkin about. 5 series is too old now. And they said Azera has more roomie interior then 7 series,...? and how can you compare 7 series to near luxury? lol

Finally! I got the chance to test drive one last night. I test drove a demo 3.8-liter V6 with 290 horses. Im not sold on it. They will start to trickle into the market early July. Yes it has a nice interior just like the BMW, but it drives just like my Chevy Impala. Does it drive like a BMW? NO, its different than my friends 525 BMW. I didnt like the brakes on the Genesis compared to the BMW. I have to say the GENESIS is a piece of shit! I only liked the trunk space and the paint color.

When is Hyundai going to design something of "their own"? The car is in deed good looking, but design elements are heavily from Lexus and Benz (S class), and interior design is a combo of Benz/BMW (Nav control knob), Infiniti M35/45... They are building cars with better reliability today, and it is time that they design their own, not another copy-cat.
