Replying to: colegar (Nov 22, 2008 1:48 pm) A lot of people are counting on your honest reports. I noticed a decline in the MPG on my car when BP went to ethanol, but since I get a 5% discount can't change to another brand. Regardless, thanks to corn lobby and Congress, all gas will contain 10% ethanol in next year or two. On another track, wonder what would happen if Hyundai purchased Chrysler, kept Jeep, downsized Dodge to trucks only and changed Genesis to Chrysler Imperial or just Imperial and maybe Azera as a New Yorker? Of course, they would need to fire current management and close some US plants.

Replying to: carolinabob (Nov 23, 2008 1:29 pm) Anyway, back to the Genesis, it seems that you bring up the suspension issue C/D raised in every single of your post? In my experience and those who I have talked to, the suspension isn't really that much of an issue. Yes, the suspension isn't going to challenge a BMW, for example, but for the purpose of a luxury car, the Genesis offers an extremely comfortable ride - around the town, on the highway, and through the back roads (aka everyday driving). Compare to a BMW, the Genesis will feel softer, less firm and controlled but that just makes the Genesis having different driving dynamics, not inferior. Is the Genesis perfect? Far from it (same goes for pretty much every single vehicle out there). There are room for improvements, no doubt, but considering this is Hyundai's first effort in a true luxury car in North America, and taking into account the product and the goods the car offers, Hyundai has every right to be proud of its product and the Genesis deserves the praises from the industry to the consumers. The Genesis has already and will continue to improve Hyundai as we know it.

Regardless, just trying to make sure each new user who comes to this site is aware that two teams of PROFESSIONALS have criticized the car and that this should be taken into consideration before purchasing.

Last year, I wrote to Lexus and told them why I did not purchase one of their cars. Within 2-3 weeks, they called me and we had a nice chat about what I would like to see on their cars. They also sent me brochures on the LS and GS models. I have also communicated with other manufacturers and been cordially treated. But, NOT Hyundai! 08/26 sent a letter to CEO with what I would like to see on the Genesis. Most suggestions were things on the Azera, but not on the Genesis and moving some features from the 4.6 to another package on the 3.8. 09/05 letter stamped received in President's office. 10/02 letter stamped received in Consumer Affairs Dept. 11/21 letter stamped received in Legal Dept. 11/21 letter returned to me with a cover letter from assistant general counsel. Their letter states: "As a matter of course, all correspondence received by HMA containing suggestions for design changes, new products, marketing strategies, advertising slogans or the like, is forwarded to the Legal Department for reply. Please be advised that it is against the policy of HMA to accept unsolicited ideas from persons outside the Hyundai organization. In accordance with this policy, we are returning your correspondence with this letter. Please consider this letter as HMA's response to your August 26, 2008 correspondence." This is why Hyundai will not suceed as a luxury car manufacturer and will ultimately have problems becoming a major factor in the American market.
