It's just so sad that you believe luxury cars can only come from Europe or Japan no, the CTS and STS are the only remaining 'American' luxury cars IMO, the DTS and the Escalade definitely are not. Lincoln since it no longer makes anything unique doesn't pass muster anymore, the Genesis blew it's chance to be a 'luxury' anything when the decision was made to try to sell it at Hyundai dealers. If 'Genesis' was a brand, marketed independently, the first Genesis car, as we now know it, might easily have become a new entrant in the luxury car ranks. Kind of shallow, these perceptions, aren't they?

The only perception that is shallow is yours. You keep refering back to the dealers, which I will admit and concur that the dealership network could be a major hurdle for the Genesis. However, the sedan itself, no matter how you want to look it...IS a luxury sedan. Even when the ES was nothing more than a glorified Camry, it was still considered luxury. The Infinity I30 was nothing more than a luxo-version of the Maxima and it was still accepted as a luxury sedan. The Genesis is not based on anything else, it is it's own animal. |

Replying to: captain2 (Dec 29, 2008 2:25 pm) Just admit the fact that it kills you that Hyundai had the audacity to create and bring to market a luxury sedan that could be more widely accessible than the flagship offerings from any of the premium brands. In your world, I'm sure this is truly tragic.

Replying to: rlejr66 (Dec 29, 2008 6:57 pm) Because the Gen has it's own class "Bargain Luxury", entry-level luxury may apply, but that's usually smaller cars such as BMW3, Infinity G, Lexus IS, etc. And although they're all great cars they're not a bargain. Not sure where else you'd place the vehicle~how 'bout "entry level large bargain luxury"
