As it has been reported, the North American version varies from the Korean spec (which was tested and evaluated by journalists and the press). I wonder if the revision would make a different impression, and we'll find out soon enough once a NA spec is being tested.

what Hyundai has actually produced is a car that's the size of the first-generation Infiniti Q45 with the performance of an M45 and at the price of a G35.
 
I think this one sentence is the best depiction of Genesis so far.
...not much for the Germans but enought for the Japanese.

You think that's "not much for the Germans"?
 
You don't know much about the M45, do you?

I just bought an M45X after testing a Jaguar XF, BMW 5 Series and Benz E550. The M has a really distinctive interior and handles beautifully.
 
I love the car.
 
The Genesis looks like a great first luxury car for Hyundai, but they aren't even positioning it as a performance sedan. It's going to be really interesting to see how it does in this market.

Genesis $40K by prosource1

I would stake the farm and the wife that NO Genesis' will sell for over $40K with the incentives and discounts Hyundai will offer on this car. People will sign on the dotted line for a loaded one in the mid $30's and the Genesis will also cannibalize Azera sales. One has to wonder if the Azera, now nearing its redesign, will even make it long-term.
Azera's and Veracruz's are selling $5-7k below msrp all day long. Enter Genesis.

Really? Here's my prediction...
 
V6 Genesis to start at $29,500 (so Hyundai can keep its promise) and tops out at $36k. The V8 Genesis would start at around $36k and tops out at around $41k.
 
I guess we'll find out soon...

The Azera fills the same niche for Hyundai that the Avalon fills for Toyota. I think there's room for both the Azera and Genesis, since some folks want a larger, more luxurious FWD car than what the Sonata offers, and the Genesis is RWD and will be pricier than the Azera (which can be easily had for low $20s for starters).

Another Genesis review just appeared over at Autoblog. Article is not as smooth as the one here at edmunds but very informative and full of very good insights. So far from what I've read, it makes me anxious to drive this car.
