Detroit: 2009 Hyundai Genesis

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos.
Looks like someone forgot to remind Hyundai that even though they've been heading in that direction as of late, they really don't make luxury cars...until now. It looks like they may have actually done it with the Hyundai Genesis Sedan. With an optional V8 engine that kicks out 368 horsepower, the Genesis should move off the line and down the road with all the zip drivers expect from a luxury car.

Give hyundai about a decade, they're gonna be in the top 3 automakers and all the haters will still be talking shit but deep inside, they'll be saying "I WANT ONE!!".

THANK YOU!!! LEXUS IS THE TRUE COPYCAT IN LUXURY BRANDS. How many times have they ripped style from Mercedes and BMW. But then again who actually considers Lexus a real luxury brand? Lexus will always be an overpriced Toyota to me, you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig.

You know what funnier?

Retards who check for ventilated seats and doesn't even look at the price.

You obviously don't know much about cars and consumers... lol

@MUSlC1213 It's funny you saying something about intelligent people. No, I just won't be wasting my time on someone who is obviously too young to drive.

@SpiaggiaVita

hahahha

Okey dokey... I'll try to say this so that a retard can understand.

Not sure how smart you are but I guess you don't check the price of a car before buying one, right? Well intelligent people usually check to make sure they are getting a good deal. I'm sorry if you still don't understand. I can't blame ya.

Try and saying intelligent next time, yeah?

@MUSlC1213 Sorry, could you repost your comment? I couldn't read it with all of the errors.

@SpiaggiaVita

hahaha... Judging? Alright, 'judge' all you want. lol. im not really interested in your judgements

and yeah... Price is kinda important to any intelligent people lol. Especially when the world economy is kinds down. Not sure if you've been reading the new recently hahaha. Im sure more people check for the price than they check for 'ventilated seats'. lol

Any more judgements you would like to make? Please do make more!

[SpiaggiaVita]

@MUSlC1213 You still don't know what those are do you? Judging by the way you type and your lol, sht, and LMFAO; I highly doubt that you have test "drived" any vehicle, let alone real luxury cars.

You say 'price' as though it were so important... Maybe it is to people who can't afford the cars that the Genesis tries to imitate. I don't know, but maybe your parents do.

@SpiaggiaVita

LMFAO you are hilarious

Despite all the luxury cars I've test drived, I've never heard 'ventilated seats'... I guess no one gives a sht... lol. Let's be realistic here... Consumers are going to look at the cost, technology, power, effieciency...etc,etc. I've never seen any reviews that degrades a car because it doesn't have ventilated seats. hahaha. Try looking for a review that says how uncomfortable Gensis's seats are. I assure you, you wont find any. LOL

@MUSlC1213 Do you understand what ventilated seats are? I am reffering to the actual seat. You see, in real luxury cars, the passenger usually enjoys the same comforts as the driver. In this case, Hyundai decided the passenger didn't need ventilated seats and saving costs was more important. For that reason, this car is not valuable because there is a reason it is cheaper. It isn't value, it is thrifty. You get what you pay for, in this case, not much...

@SpiaggiaVita

That's kinda funny becaue I've sat in one and not only did it have 2 vents on the center console but 2 more near where the seat belt comes out in for the front passengers. I'm not sure which car you are comparing the Genesis to, but if you compare performance, features, and size to any other brands of car, the Genesis is very much cheaper. Think what you want but the fact is, Hyundai is much better on terms of value than Lexus, Mercedes or any other luxury brands.

[SpiaggiaVita]

I have sat in one.

I immediately noticed that the passenger doesn't get a ventilated seat... but the driver does? Sorry, a 'valuable' luxury car is one that doesn't skimp on passenger comforts just for the sake of cutting costs. Like I said, the car is fundamentally challenged. It's the equivalent of Hyundai producing an SUV with three wheel drive and saying it's better than its competitors because it is cheaper. It's not nicer, it's just cheaper and not very much cheaper at that.
