cars for poor people wt*???

remember the luxury cars you are refering to and hyundai may compete against such as Lexus won't exist if the parent companies ie Toyota in that case didnt have cheap cars to flood the market ...BTW yes Hyundai will never have the same level as a Lexus or BMW, but they sure as hell would give em good competition ... that would be in number of sales. haha i would buy the genesis just to smoke your beemer or wht ever u drive lol ... just look @ how far Nissan has come

@fvgotch Hyundai is trying to enter the luxury sedan market and they were smart to bring cars with all the bells and whistles at a much lower price point compared to the competitors. Maybe not tomorrow or next year, but I predict that in the next 10-15 years, Hyundai luxury sedans will be on par with their Japanese counterparts. Also, I disagree that it's for people "who can't afford luxury". Maybe some people don't want to pay a lot of money for a car. Image isn't everything. Performance is

[henryleder]

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

[presidentialpawn]

what else you don't like besides the leather seats? Power steering ? Moron...

[p1nkyo3]

i really like this car but it's true

[EliteSlayer542]

Who the hell hates leather seats??? LOL

[iwanthalo3]

looks like youtube quality rape to me.

[fvgotch]

Hyundai is an option for consumers who can't afford luxury cars or people who seeks good value. Hyundai brings competition to the market, forcing other makers such as BMW and Lexus to rethink their pricing policy knowing that Hyundai and others can make similar quality vehicles for lot less money. Great Job Hyundai!

Luxury cars should always be premium painted in the first place.

Hyundai has to do a better job next time.

[disracenboi336]

Lol, you could always get it Premium painted from another place.
