Replying to: louiswei (Nov 28, 2008 10:25 am) In a Luxury market, the Genesis would be up against the A6, 5 Series, E Class, and the GS. There is no competition, Hyundai are not luxury cars, never will be, and are junk. Do yourself a favor, spend your 36k else where, perhaps on a 3 Series, A4, or C300. I admit, I'm a name dropper, and would be embarrassed to drive a Hyundai. My first car was a new 92 SC400, which I still have today. Only 81k miles. Currently I'm driving my 05 A6, which is above and beyond a POS Hyundai..

Replying to: anthonyp (Nov 28, 2008 7:00 pm) I always look forward to getting the January issue of C&D. In this particular issue there is a stunning photo of Chris Bangle's masterpiece, the 3 Series Coupe, in Crimson Red; one of the best photos of a car that I have ever seen. Tony, there are few cars as beautiful as the 3 Series Coupe. As a devout believer in chaos theory, all has always been right with the world. "Wrong" happens to be "right", Tony. |

Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 28, 2008 6:48 pm) Hmmm, I'm guessing you'd be embarrassed to be seen in a Hyundai, and that actually driving the thing, or enjoying whatever it had to offer, are way (way) down on your list. To each their own. Enjoy those fashion accessories. |

Whoever dislikes Hyundai seems to be taking a shot at it. Looks like many here want the badge more than the quality. No other manufacture is improving or growing as fast as the Korean manufacture. Time will tell.

Replying to: bmlexus (Nov 29, 2008 2:13 am) Obviously the LS is in a category that Infiniti doesn't compete in currently. One could easily argue that the G and the M are better than the ES and GS. I don't think Infiniti is a better car company than Lexus but I'll stand with the statement. Neither one is a company that I put ahead of the Germans when I am loking for a car. |

Replying to: bmlexus (Nov 29, 2008 2:10 am) I guess it's OK for BMW to have some bad dealers because the cars are great, but it wouldn't matter how great a car Hyundai builds because it's got the Hyundai badge. The Genesis is a rare value in the lux segment. Kudos to Hyundai. TM |

Replying to: dewey (Nov 26, 2008 8:00 am) I only use DS rarely, like when I want to take off in 1st from the line, otherwise, I have found that I just don't need to keep it there, the tranny downshifts so smoothly that when I need speed, I just use my right foot. |
