  • when i think of an italian car thats truely gangster, i dont think fait 500, i think more like a maserati quattroporte

  • Both cars are turds. [plain and simple. Would much rather have a Cadillac or Lincoln.

  • Reminds me of Jersey Shore...

  • korean

  • rooting for the 2011 Hyundai Genesis all the way

  • USA

  • Those are retarted test

  • 00:37 that joke made me want to puke

  • There's really no wrong answer if you choose between the 300 and the Genesis - the Genesis gets a facelift for 2012. How about another challenge with the SRT-8 300 and the Genesis R-spec.  It's a battle with the super V8s. MotorTrend should invite the mob bosses with the upgrades.

  • American and German Fanboys vs. Asian Fanboys

  • Kinda strange video. Genesis is way more expensive than 300c

  • the last test was not fair cause it took the dude to in the genesis 4s to get in but in 300c it took 3s plus their not testing the car their testing driver skill (not complaining just saying)

  • The style of this review is a cartoonish joke. There's Norway it can be taken seriously regardless of oucome. I mean the didn't even show the specs of each engine. I want to see a review not a freekin broadway play. This= FAIL!!!

  • This test doesn't even work. The numbers were fine, but the last test had different drivers. This means they tested the drivers skills, not the car.

  • americans, stop reviewing cars, you suck

  • @DJzSith Well Jeremy Clarkson won't do much either

  • I won't be surprised if Hyundai overtakes Ford and GM soon.

  • Comparing a Hyundai vs a almost Bankrupted Chrysler?? WTF??

  • @Gwegqwet uhhhh chrylser went bankrupt before they made this car, there fine now when they unveiled it....

  • Comment removed

  • I like the style of 300 more than the Hyundai - but not by much. If I were planning to own either of these vehicles for more than 5 years I'd pick the Hyundai. Chrysler has a terrible reputation for a reason. I'm not hating on Chrysler - I currently a 2010 RAM. Up until this year all Chrysler product interiors looked worse than they did in the 80s. Glad to see they are finally spending money on them and fixing the suspensions as well. Hopefully they will prove to be reliable vehicles soon.

  • I've owned 5 Chryslers since 85 and currently have a 2010 RAM HEMI. I've also had a 2002 Hyundai Accent, 2002 Hyundai Sonata. Hyundai's quality definitely beats Chrysler. Drive one - see for yourself.

    With Chryslers I never put more than 70,000 miles, most had several problems, the caravan tranny went at 42K! The Accent I put 70K miles, not ONE problem. The Sonata I put 130,000 miles and had a few very minor issues. Hyundai has come a long way. Sad to see uninformed comments by so many.

  • @pcmr57 Drive a 2011+ Dodge, Jeep, or Chrysler and then compare to a Hyundai....

  • @pcmr57 I agree with hyundai coming a long way but so has chrysler since 85 2011-12 is entirely different story of engines transmissions and interior quality for them. 85 you might as well be talking about 1970 same goes for up to early 2000s for chrylsler quite different. I think they both make good vehicles.

  • @ChallengerGuy22

    What do you mean Chrysler has come a long way since 85? The interiors in their vehicles have been complete junk until 2011. Even now they are only about even with many auto makers and certainly are not surpassing anyone. The new interiors just seem light years ahead for people used to driving other Chryslers.

    Honda, Toyota, Acura and drivers of other import brands have enjoyed those types of interiors since the later 80s. Chryslers are still plagued with quality issues too.

  • @pcmr57 Pretty self explanatory what it means. If you think they are the same as your experience in 1985 and even well into the 2000s well i'm sure you would never change your mind regardless of what they did. Its funny we are talking about a 2011 vehicle so my point that they have come along way can't be dismissed by saying they were junk before that. It makes my point. I've come around for cars that hyundai has produced. It is nice to them make some attractive cars as well.

  • @ChallengerGuy22

    You've missed my point entirely. Hyundai has improved steadily since 85 and now at the top of the class. Chrysler failed to learn from it's mistakes and has gone bankrupt twice now. They only thing different from 2010 to 2011 is the grade of interior materials and some suspension tuning. Still you can't even rank their vehicles as average among their competitors. Their reliability, styling, and efficiency all sorely lack other brands - even for 2011.

  • @pcmr57 lol sigh... I'm just not willing to point out other updates to you pick up a car magazine. Stay stuck in the past. Chrysler is all crap and everyone else is better got it. Take care.

  • @ChallengerGuy22

    I've been reading Car and Driver, Automobile and other magazines for thirty years. Plus I know my way around a car. Now having written that, I like Chryslers. I defended them for years and was laughed at for it. Enough is enough. They have to get their act together. That means building a car that will not only look good, and have 'soft' touch materials, but will last 180,000 miles or more - like just about every Honda or Toyota since the mid 80's.

  • @pcmr57 Then i'm sure your aware of there new v-6 and running that 8spd trans.only improvement interior&handling?I wouldn't own a car with that many miles unless it was classic,was specialized model,or had extreme sentimental value,or i wasn't working but that's me.Yeah i'm sure you'd have to go back to the 70's slant six for 180k.I'd prefer to see them take weight out of the challenger,charger,and 300.Well i'll take up where you left off ; )Although its easier to defend them these days.

  • Their new V6 - just caught up to engines by Honda and Nissan and others since the 80s and 90s. Their new Durango and Grand Cherokee are beautiful but are based on Mercedes vehicles don't forget.

    I'm also aware of the 8sp tranny. It won't impress me until it's been proven reliable and can handle years of trouble free service.

    Many people for probably economic reasons have put 180k on a vehicle. To them quality is more important than people who can afford to replace vehicles more frequently.

  • @pcmr57 All my point is they have made a number of improvements recently i'm not saying they are the best, but you seem unable to acknowledge and give them reasonable credit for doing so. I'm looking forward to see the dodge dart release since they were unable to make a proper small car. Maybe fiat will be another good push for them. The released photos look decent. I hope they offer a mopar engine srt-4 version of it. I mean 1.4L is nice for the 40mpg folks but some like performance.

  • @ChallengerGuy22

    That's not what I wrote at all. Yes, they have made improvements lately. My point is that is shameful to have taken so long. Also, new improvements or not they have only brought themselves up to par with some of their competitors. They are certainly not leading in any areas. I think I have given them credit, I own a 2010 Ram 5.7.

    However that is still no excuse for the garbage they have put out over the years, including recently.

  • @pcmr57 No, the Grand Cherokee and Durango arn't based on Mercedes, and they haven't been since Daimler was cut out of Chrysler. The 04-09 Durango, and 05-10 G. Cherokee were based on Mercedes, like the 06-10 Charger and 05-10 300's, but 2011 and newer, no more.

  • @moparsrock

    The new Grand Cherokee and Durango are based off the new Mercedes M Class Platform. Seriously, you can look that up in five seconds on Google. Chrysler planned that before Daimler sold off controlling interest. Seriously do a google search for" dodge durango mercedes platform" and scroll down and read the car and driver article.

  • the Chrysler 300 beat that piece of shit Hyundai U.S.A all the way

  • hahah Comparision Chrysler with korean car

  • the mafia would never buy a hyundai

  • Motortrend make the worst reviews ever. :(

  • Whoerst reviw that I ever seen.....in my life...

  • Azn car fanboys butthurt an american car won...

  • no that wrong the asian guy when inside the car faster so that's not acurate at all

  • worst. review. ever.

  • how can the 300c have faster acceleration when it is less powerful and heavier?

  • Cookie mobsta! Lmfao

  • @jxtsful. Are you serious about the hyundai and how it recieved those points??? Hyundai copies every other car out there. Tht car company has nothing original about it. The lines and shape are all taken off of bmw and benzes. I drive and own these cars. How do u think a person just like myself feelss when a eco-box company says they are designed after my 60k car? I hate this company, they just copy. They do not engineer anything, they only copy. I have driven the genesis, nothing great

  • Comment removed

  • @homeboyskilletfresh cry... kind like u still in denial.

  • @jxtsful real educated answer there buddy. Just call everyone on the internet gay and fags. dosent solve a thing about what im on the subject of. Do your self a favor and get a good college education and find a good job. Then u can afford a nice 300c or bmw 3 series. Just helpin u out here buddy

  • @homeboyskilletfresh yeah cry...when u stop being in denial then I will educated u more.

  • @jxtsful Ahhhh. Another failure of the american public education system. "Educated u more." How do socialize with other people on a day to day basis with that type of english?

  • @homeboyskilletfresh So lets pick on my english since I demonstrated ur just a hater in denial, keep bitching and crying while Hyundai thrives.

  • @jxtsful Dear Santa,.......

  • @homeboyskilletfresh You said: "Hyundai copies every other car out there. Tht car company has nothing original about it. I hate this company, they just copy. They do not engineer anything, they only copy." Can u prove what they have copied with evidence precisely?  If u don't know about something exactly, U better shut up. Don't announce your own taste to the public. That's just your own opinion only. You know why? You r going wrong way with your prejudice. Why don't u make rumors more?

  • @homeboyskilletfresh The official Research: They've been exporting Sonata 2.0 engine of four-cylinder Theta and a 2.4 engine to DaimlerChrysler and Mitsubishi with recieving royalties, previously received a total of $ 57,000,000 from Chrysler since 2004. Chrysler in September 2005 began to mount that engine for passenger cars, multipurpose vehicle (MPV), sport-utility vehicle (SUV). The main vehicles are the Stratus, PT Cruiser, Liberty, and ranged up approximately 700,000.

  • @homeboyskilletfresh Mitsubishi also is mounting Theta engine in mass production in August 2005 for Lancer (Lancer) follow-up model, the Eclipse (Eclipse), etc. Holding the scale of production is approximately 400,000. i Fuel efficient Theta engine features a high-performance, quietness, eco-tech, variable lightweight aluminum engine block, the intake valve (VVT: Variable Valve Timing), fuel-efficient, and it reduces engine vibration as using balance shaft. It's truly quiet.

  • @homeboyskilletfresh Copy and check for some different things more ===>> autoblog.com/2008/05/09/hyunda­­­i-exec-talks-engine-sharing-­w­i­th-mercedes-benz

  • Hyundai Genesis have a better interior bigger capacity @ the trunk , 300C have more energy more active than the genesis

    power to the 300C, luxury in the genesis

  • Comment removed

  • GENESIS FTW!

  • @willjk3025 watch?v=THsKV0GU6kc

  • WTF...What kind of comparison is this...this is why i dont like motortrend

  • Chrysler FTW!!!

  • Everyone I know that bought one including family members, the tranny didn't make it pass 30,000 miles. Chrysler suck. And to this day even the dash can be ripped out by hand and stolen in 35 seconds. I owned a 1991 Jeep Cherokee and even then you can steal everything from the dash in seconds. 20 Years later same ol Crap.

  • @djnastee1973 Isn't the transmission a Mercedes Benz unit?

  • @fireworkstube Indeed, ha I was about to point that out

  • The new 300c is ugly. Just my opinion. Please don't strike me down for it.

  • the fiat 500 won.the end

  • i love the look of the chrysler but i HATE the fact that they are going to poison the lancia brand with it

  • 4:40 that's not de niro, that's al pacino

  • هيونداي افضل..

  • The Genesis gets the piont even thought the truck lid won't close as far?

    WTF this review fucking blows. The format is god aweful too. What kind of American Mobster is going to drive a Hyundai Genesis? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

  • Hyundai Genisis --> Infiniti G35/37

    Chrysler 300 --> Audi A8

  • That 300 is crap... The Tranny dies at 28000 miles. My people had both. The 300 first and it was always in the shop. No Problems with the Genesis yet. 

  • @djnastee1973 Its not the 2011 300.

  • gggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyy

  • i can see the skid marks from the hyunda when the 300c does its numbers

  • You Must Know That This Car Was Built To compete Hyundai Genesis But Hyundai is The Best And Please If You Want A Real Hardcore Stuff You Should Put The Hyundai Genesis 2012 Version .That Car Will Fuck Chrysler 300C And This Is Not a Good Review On The Basis Of These Stupid Test You Cannot Judge A Car Capability.

  • @jibran0664 Nah, the 2012 300 SRT will still smoke the Genesis

  • @pr @prettymuchright Then u compare it with a Genesis 5.0 v8 tau, plus if u do get to buy a Genesis it won't be from a unreliable bankrupted car company. :)

  • @jxtsful that IS what I'm talking about the Chrysler 300 SRT HEMI V8 will still have 40 more HorsePower & 89 more Ib-Ft Of Torque. Diamler & Celebrus are what drug Chrysler into the ground but now Chrysler is back with a True automotive partner in Chryler Group. It's a Hyundai for crying out loud, I'll stick with Chrysler, this is just a beginning, people will really see what Chrysler can do when the Imperial dubuts

  • @prettymuchright 40 more HP is nothing if the care is heavier... plus Chrysler is a bankrupted car company, so they are the ones crying about Hyundai's rise.

  • @jxtsful you really need to do some research before you make such comments, Chrysler has nothing to cry about they have been and still will be Introducing New Engines, Transmissons, Completely New Car Platforms, Newley Tuned Vehicles from Inside Out. With the start of the New Chrysler Group Chrysler has been Celebrating month after month sales Increases for nearing 2 years now.

  • @prettymuchright yeah but they just can't get rid of the cheapo bankrupted image... still their products not superior to Hyundai's.

  • @jxtsful How are they not?

  • @prettymuchright 40 more HP for what??? if the Chrysler is heavier... and no the ones who should be crying are Chrysler people, they don't sell a shit in other countries, while Hyundai is selling like hot cakes in Europe, Asia, South and Central America and Australia... :) By the time Chryslers will show something Hyundai will come up with something better.

  • @jxtsful Why do u keep forget about Torque? What are you talking about all of Chrysler's Eninges already Out-performe anything Hyundai has to offer. Again u need to do some research although the 2012 300 SRT is indeed Heavier then the Genesis 5.0 v8 tau, the 2012 300 SRT is Out-performing in HP, Torque, 0-60, 0-100 & Stopping distance.

  • @prettymuchright "Chrysler's Eninges already Out-performe anything Hyundai has to offer." oh yeah is easy to say when there is no evidence... why is shitty Chrysler engines not among top 10 best in the world? like the Tau v8 of Hyundai? still again 40 hp for what?? is just numbers? won't buy a car from a former bankrupted car company. Still if what u say is true is an evidence that no one wants to be associated with chrysler even with "superior engines"....there are just better deals out there.

  • @jxtsful Research, Chrysler Pentastar V6 Is on the list. It is not just numbers there is Power & Speed behind all those numbers

  • @prettymuchright Besides Chrysler is now Fiat... both pieces of shit of a company.

  • @jxtsful actually Fiat is part of Chrysler Group and that's as far as it pretty much will go in the US with the overall plan to bring Chrysler from a Private Company to Public. These are two totally different companies with different areas in expertise from Engines, Trans, Design, Platform that have come together in a grand partnership. U keep giving negative generic responces, I assume because u can't state how this New Prouduct From the New Chrysler Group is failing.

  • with money in hand i preferred the genesis

  • you fucking stupid you dont no how to test a car

  • mobster dont drive Hyundai period

  • The like buttom should not be exist !!!

  • So one of cars is slightly faster, and the other one is more silnet, and has bigger boot. so witch is better?... Thats it, I dont care! Becose they are both incredably hideous.

  • they look the same

  • So this means that Asian guy drives better? Genesis can get 5.5 secs from 0-60 :p

  • Why did the asian guy take the american car ?

  • @keykikoo Well, we have to be realistic: First, the 300C is more beautiful. Second: The Chrysler is more reliable (actually anything is more reliable than hyundai even if the misleading ads say the opposite) and Thrid: Who wants a hyundai rather than a Chrysler or anything else.

  • Hyundai front end looks like a maybach....butt ugly XD

  • stupid comparison, two of the points won by the chrysler is based on performance what about built quality and comfort? the MAIN reason why you would buy the cars in the first place..

  • @shobin05 if performance wasn't a factor they wouldn't of compared the 300c they would have used the 300 limited. and the 300c has plenty of comfort and it's quality is obvious.

  • @shobin05 Personally, I was all in until the Deniro imitations.  I mean really, what kind of test was this?

  • @shobin05 Are you saying Chrysler is like Fiat? lol no.

  • @Metalguy696 what is your point? i said that this comparison test is stupid because it relates no reason to why you would buy these cars...tell me who buys these cars for performance? im not a hyundai fan, im just saying at the price of these saloon cars, performance is just a bonus...comfort and refinement is everything...motor trend sucks at reviewing cars..okay buh-bye

  • fix it again tony

  • @BerriesMcGOO Thats Fiat dale...lol

  • is that the 3.8 genesis or the 4.6? now theres is a 439hp 5.0liter genesis spec r! lets see the chysler take on that one...lol srt8 vs spec r

  • @xxnissansilviaxx Still would lose out to the 392 SRT Hemi pushing out 465 HP

  • I was approved for 280k and of all the cars I test drove I couldnt go past the 300c. It was cheap, powerful, good on gas (compared to the other v8s i test drove) and cheap on maintenance and a car I didnt want to try and cosmetically change it cause 9 times out of 10 when you try to improve the cosmetics of a car it ends up being rice in one form or another. All cars to me are a waste of money so when I choose a car I try to waste it wisely.

  • Chrysler WIN because its ORIGINAL... Hyundai FAIL because its COPY.

  • @BMWTM2020

    this has to be one of the dumbest statements on the internet- and thats not an easy thing to do.

    show me a car under $100,000 that isn't a "copy"

  • @BMWTM2020 Are u sad cuz ur shitty BMW 3 series would get raped by a Genesis coupe??? or ur sad cuz Hyundai Genesis V8 Tau R spec would rape a BMW 5 series or ur sad cuz the Equus has similar options to a BMW 7 series and costs 40,000 less???

  • @BMWTM2020 the old 300c is based ON A FUCKING E CLASS?? AND THATS NOT A COPY??? hahaha, you wanna pretend to be smart at least go do some research first...idiot..

  • Everyone knows real mobsters drive Cadillacs

  • shouldnt the kong guy get the import and the american guy get the american car? jw

  • wtf, this was so annoyingly stupid.

  • Hyundai Genesis = BMW CHEAP CLONE

    FUCKING KOREANS ONLY COPY PASTE GOOD DESIGNS!

  • @chiwasR Fucking Koreans??? hahha Fucking Mexicans pieces of shit, look at your third world shithole country full of drugs, weapons and death!!!

  • @pedroawet23

    shithole country huh? i dont know if u are a fuckin Yankee, but if u ar one,

    US is full of drugs, weapons and addicts.

    so i dont give a shit ur opinion.

  • @chiwasR but the other countries aren't full of drugs, weapons and addicts? come on now.

  • that was a big sausage fest when they got in the trunk

  • 300c looks like a fake audi A8

  • @lp570king how bout the other way around..

  • @JesseGboy how can it be the other way around when the A8 came out before the new 300c

  • @lp570king well, they based the new one off of the older 2005 chrysler 300, odviously. I don't think they had intentions of copying anybody. Either way 2 great cars.

  • @lp570king audis are pieces of shit detroit all the way

  • genesis in bigman,300c in small man test .

  • The 300C still looks like a tank. I am not a fan of this look. The older cab-forward design looked much better, much more 21-st century.

  • Peter Chao is Don Kong?? watch MZIK03pQHwc

  • :46 Thats the sniper sound from James Bond: The World Is Not Enough.. right?

  • You people do all know that the 300 just got a major revision, whereas the Genesis is several years old now, right?

    Let's see how even things are with the next gen of the Genesis (Which is coming soon) instead of piling on Hyundai all at once.

  • I cant wait for Cadillac XTS to put both of these to shame

  • @DSNCB919 HAHA a big ass car like that will never catch up. especially when the srt8 300 comes out.

  • @RefreshChannel What? dood Cadillac > Chrysler anyday sit your punk ass down

  • @DSNCB919 Your a total troll, and an idiot. The CTS-V kicks the chryslers ass, but the XTS is a large sized car meant for just luxury, not sport. that big thing wont catch up to a 300. You shut your dumb ass down before you get too humiliated.

  • @RefreshChannel troll? I bet i get 10x girls as you, and the CTS is already better than the 300, the xts will be mixing dts and sts technology and we all know the sts owned the 300 so what makes you think the XTS woulnt? America = Cadillac not Chrysler sry

  • @DSNCB919 wow a person with girls wouldn't be such a loser as to cook up all of this commotion over a fucking car. get a life troll. don't even try replying. your words don't mean shit anymore.

  • @RefreshChannel nah I was a kid riding in the back of a lac grew up bought some lacs n not gonna let some e-thug soft ass kid down it post a vid of ur cars if u even have any

  • WTF!!! I like both cars!! The Hyundai Genesis & Chrysler 300C are clean!!! Who needs a DAMN OVERRATED & OVERPRICED PIECE OF EUROPEAN LUXURY SHIT. H3ll both the Hyundai Genesis & Chrysler 300C can stack up!!

  • Id buy the 300 over the genisis anyday

  • LOL the New Genesis 5.0 V8 TAU GDI....will rape this Chrysler ....shit comparing a Hyundai with a Chrysler.

  • @TheJuanlozanoism And the Chrysler 300 Srt8 will slaughter that!

  • @TheJuanlozanoism The 300 won against the Genesis already with less HP ... even with a new engine the Hyundai will be against the new SRT-8 with 100 MORE HP and a new 8 speed transmission ... and the Genesis will get raped AGAIN ... lol comparing a Hyundai with a Chrysler ... kids these days ...

  • yawn

    

  • Interesting video, thanks :)

  • Great vid! Really entertaining

  • Very nice cars...but, still ain't got nothing on the Linc. MKS, EB.. ;-)

  • dude wtf none of these cars are mafia cars lol its fucking S class , 7 series , quattroporte a8 n etc not these gay shts

  • I don't see a point in bashing one car or another. I rode in both and I think they are both great!

  • Trying to find which of these cars is the sportiest is like trying to find a bar in the vatican...

  • id take the 300 any day

  • why is the asian representing the american car and the american representing the asian car?

  • why is the asian representing the american car and the american representing the asian car?

  • i dont think any mobster would drive a hundai

  • 300 is still trash

    even though originally suspension parts root from the Mercedes, its totally garbage swaybar and tie rod go bad so easily NO RELIABILITY!!

    and the 5 speed tranny? oh come on!!

    still better than the FOUR speed tranny which is used to be offered for 300 and chager tho

  • @kunpark

    Yea I hear you but they re tuned the suspension for 2011 and once the 8 speed auto comes in from ZF 300C be even better!

  • @josh1303 Wait until the 8 speed auto sport-tuned supspension and steering, 429 hp 5.0V8 2012 Genesis RSPEC gets here in the couple of months.

  • 300 is still trash

    even though originally suspension parts root from the Mercedes, its totally garbage swaybar and tie rod go bad so easily NO RELIABILITY!!

    and the 5 speed tranny? oh come on!!

    still better than the FOUR speed tranny which is used to be offered for 300 and chager tho

  • This shitmercial is retarded. What happened to good old fashioned comparisons??

  • didn't even have to watch whole vid... 300C garbage is still trash... cheating american automaker~have no chance / noise cheap interior, limited quality, design, reliability

  • didn't even have to watch whole vid... 300C garbage is still trash... cheating american automaker~have no chance

  • 135 are Genesis Owners

  • I'd prolly take the Charger Max R/T instead of the 300C.  Both are excellent vehicles, and that's comming from a GM guy.

  • the 2 points the genesis won were bullshit anyway, both boots fitted the same people, and the noise test was inaccurate as the chrysler is the quiteset vehicle on the road bar the bentley mulsanne. how can you compare korean crap with American horsepower and mercedes benz underpinnings

  • LMAO NICE VIDEO!

  • And if your a boss who is torn between these two then you must but a bad one.

    Henchmen and HItmen drive these.

    Mercedes S Class and Maserati Quattroporte are for the bosses.
