Well I am not Impressed  I am only seeing two maybe three features "never before seen in this price range" Lets look at what it does not have that other cars in this price range do. 60/40 split folding rear seats, power folding mirrors, tilt down mirrors in reverse, power pedals, keyless entry probably not linked to memory system, 8 way power passenger seat (all of my Chryslers had that), remote start, reclining rear seats, remote power window feature for keyless entry ?, external trunk lid release, wood grain steering wheel for v6 (it would probably just chip off anyway), full size spare tire, cylinder deactivation. This car makes my Azera Limited Ultimate look like grand theft auto at the $26,900.00 I paid out the door. Hyundai is right the Genesis will help sell all other models , especially the Azera. Just the facts... not looking for a fight.

But if the Genesis is an even nicer riding car than either of these two vehicles, then the choice is simple. I don't make judgments on cars I haven't driven. Until I have some wheel time with Genesis, I am going to reserve judgment. But the specs and the numbers look very good.

Replying to: backy (May 28, 2008 7:25 pm) Poor resale also makes for expensive leases due to lower residual values. I do see your point however, and my current Avalon is leased and my next car will be too. As for the Genesis not being a sports car... do you think the Avalon is? Of course not... not even in the "touring" form Lots of "nutty" people out there, I guess No... maybe well informed consumers. My point was there still are a lot of bad perceptions out there about Hyundai. If I had to choose between a gussied up Toyota FWD sedan (and one with styling I consider quite ugly) and the Genesis, for about the same money, it would be no contest for the Genesis Thats a tough call considering you haven't even driven a Genesis. As for being ugly... I can respect your opinion as looks are purely subjective anyway. |

Replying to: viking967 (May 29, 2008 8:29 am) 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. So according to the detailed pricing/packages, a V6 would top out at $40k and V8 at $42k... Funny that even an in-optimistic predictor and so called "Hyundai basher" like me has completely low-balled the Genesis pricing. This is really depressing. So where is that poster who claimed that there is no way that the Genesis would go over the $40k barrier?
