LOL! What good is all the awards when I've seen the car on the road exactly 5 times in three years of selling in the US. On the other hand, I've seen Acura/Infinity/Lexus driven on the road thousands and thousands of times.

@petiteasiahoney talks cheap, Genesis is more expensive.

[GuyGroovey]

I've sold my Lexus for this car, the Hyundai Genesis as the Lexus got too expensive to maintain. The Genesis a very good car with exceptional fuel economy. The styling's well... Makes you feel very grand, I love it. Quality issues? None. Cut corners? Can't see any. To those who compare it with a "Lexus", or "BMW" etc... Which car are you talking about? While the Genesis is the actual NAME of the car, a "Lexus" isn't... noobs.

Now in pursuits police american programs if every one noticed , they are not showing more than 4% of recorded live pursuits , Any of you know why?

Because american fat ass police cars fail to chase German cars , and nowadays guys in USA are giving more interest to German cars as long as they getting improved every where ,

unfortunately there is no place for Korean cars, it might take place in third-world countries !!! But please don't be cheap to even think about it

The reason to buy Korean cars is that Korea has the world's strongest digital infrastructure without which a car cannot exist.
