Interesting view on where the market is going. My two cents? I think if the 3 big car companies had kept abreast of the changing global need for clean burning/high-efficiency vehicles and adapted their">link title manufacturing to keep with the times..then they would not be in this situation now.
 
But unfortunately, we are all stuck with what we can buy and afford so until things change, I will keep getting my used cars Kansas city.

Page, 97, Long Term Update, Genesis.
   "10,012 Miles It would do Hyundai good to tear apart an XF [Jaguar] and examine its springs, dampers, and other suspension bits in detail says executive editor Joe DiMatio."

 
Interesting. Now could you please put it in context and tell us what led to that comment? And maybe what the entire article was like?

By the way, the one photo in the article was taken on the top level of a parking structure the architectural firm I work for designed, 150 Michigan Ave. in Detroit.

The more time we spend behind the wheel of the Genesis, the more it demonstrates that it is a legitimate competitor to the luxury sedans from Europe, Japan, and the U.SA.
 
"And contrary to many other opinions here, I thought the ride quality was pretty good over the broken pavement".
 
"Is it sad that I prefer spending time behind the wheel of our Genesis 4.6 more than I do our 750Li? People can't believe I'd think such a thing, but I can't get over the artificial feel of the BMW, which is supposed to be a "driving machine."
 
Judging by the many positive quotes, I think the Automobile Magazine staff is impressed. The third comment is stunning.

I don't know what he was expecting. It should be more fun to pilot a sport sedan than a land barge. Somewhat akin to saying I prefer the feel of the Mustang to the Town Car...

BTW that 'appliance' Avalon will blow the doors off of anything that Hyundai makes (save for the V8)
 
Are you really sure about that statement Captain???
 
The Avalon is shown to run 0-60 anywhere from high 6's to low 7's and the Genesis 3.8 is shown to run low to mid 6's. How does that equate to blowing the doors off anything Hyundai makes??? Heck, even the Azera is hitting low to mid 7's 0-60 my friend. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...what exactly is YOUR definition of "blows away"???

The Genesis is a much older design than is generally understood here.
 
Actually marvinlee1...the concept of the Equus is much older than that of the Genesis, here's an entry on Wikipedia that shows the Equus getting its start as early as 1999: Wikipedia: Hyundai Equus
 
According to Wikipedia info. concept for the Genesis began in 2003 and the actual concept vehicle was introduced in 2007.
 
Remember back in 2002 when they dropped the HCD-7...it was given the Equus name.
 
Hyundai HCD-7 Equus Concept
 
In all honesty...the HCD-7 is the one they should have moved forward with. The styling would have given them a very unique character on the road, even if it does look like a Bentley from the rear. This was one sweet design I was sad to see them pass on.

Even better than that. Consumer Guide had the '08 Azera at 6.2 seconds to 60. Car and Driver had the '06 edition at 6.1.
 
Which makes sense, considering it's a very similar engine to the Genesis 3.8 in a car that weighs less.
