#5655 of 5673 Genesis/E350 back-to-back by bwia Nov 06, 2009 (7:03 pm)
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.

Replying to: bwia (Nov 06, 2009 7:03 pm) This may be a loose association but I noticed my son making the same comparison while walking behind a mother and her daughter the other day. You know Benjamen Franklin once said when choosing a girlfriend it is best the choose an older woman compared with a younger one because the older woman comes with a lot less aggravation and if you put a barrel over her head she looks just like the other woman from behind. He really said that!! So maybe we just need to put a barrel over the front empanage of the Genesis and you'll think you're the owner of a MB without the agravation of the extra 20K!

Replying to: fedlawman (Nov 07, 2009 11:26 am) A little hyperbole yes but the cars did get a lot of attention. The location was the Longwood Medical Area of Boston where one is accustomed to seeing high end cars driven by doctors and other medical professionals. So a Genesis seemed a little out of place or people thought it was a new MB. Nonetheless, it was good PR for Hyundai.

Replying to: bwia (Nov 07, 2009 2:13 pm) That's cool. The Genesis does have some E-Class styling cues, as well as some BMW 5-series lines. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all.

Replying to: bwia (Nov 07, 2009 2:13 pm) Well you could say when seen from the end the high end is the same as the low end, or in the case of my son above the younger empanage is always higher end compared to the older one which is usually a tail dragger. Or that in terms of comparing the Genesis to the MB the end is an end in itself. The End. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Nov 07, 2009 6:48 pm)

Replying to: alonzo2 (Nov 07, 2009 2:48 pm) But tail draggers are front-drive, rear steer...

15 Cars Fueling the Auto Recovery   Hyundai Genesis. The first luxury car from this Korean automaker has earned deep praise, helping it reach No. 2 in U.S. News's rankings of upscale midsize cars—behind only the BMW 3 series. And with a starting price of about $33,000, it's considerably cheaper than the Bimmers, Audis, Lexuses, and other luxury makes it competes against. Sales of 18,000 units so far this year have added volume in a category where Hyundai didn't even compete two years ago.
