Always up for a challenge, our sometimes cranky and always opinionated New York bureau chief Jamie Kitman offered to spend the last several weeks of the summer with the big Hyundai. "I was an early champion of the Genesis sedan but I must say I prefer the V-6-equipped Genesis. It has superior fuel economy and, especially for in and around the city, the extra two cylinders are not missed. That said, the Genesis remains a serious luxury cruiser - comfortable, quick, smooth, and a wee bit sporty - and with more than 20,000 miles on the odometer, despite feeling slightly less smooth than the V-6 I drove recently, this big Hyundai is a quality piece." Two members of the rock band Tally Hall - managed by Kitman - spent some time piloting the Genesis and quickly became enamored with the Hyundai's "maneuverability, smoothness, and strong power at highway speeds." They were also amazed by the number of comfort-oriented and technological goodies crammed into the sub-$50,000 Genesis. During one particularly sweltering drive, bassist Sedghi Zubin praised the air-cooled front seats. "Few things can ease the pain of sitting in Manhattan gridlock; one of them, I've now realized, is not having a sweaty backside."

Replying to: sergio19 (Oct 31, 2009 7:58 am) It is interesting that one of the car magazines, and it may be this one, shows different information in the magazine from what is on the website. That further confuses people trying to find valid information. I believe it was Automobile Magazine in the magazine that said in one place that the suspension needs to be revised. In another issue, it said two groups of testers-those that hate the ride and those that accept the ride because of all the other good features. Neither of these showed up on the website though. |

On my way to work this morning I was driving behind a Mercedes E350 4matic and a Genesis sedan. They were both black and looked eerily alike, but the paint finish on the E-class looked more exquisite and luminous. The cars created a stir because everybody was comparing the two. From a distance you couldn't tell the difference but up close the E-class certainly looked more upscale and refined. Never having seen a Genesis on the road I must say I was very impressed and probably will drop by my local dealer this weekend for a guest drive. |
