I would like to hear from Genesis owners that have owned luxury brands previous or current to the Genesis, if there are any out there yet.
 
In a recent speech, one of the Hyundai marketing execs said 40% of Genesis buyers traded in luxury cars...so there are quite a few out there. Personally, I have been leasing luxuy cars since 1990 starting with a Lexus LS, followed by an Infiniti Q45, Infiniti Q45, Jaguar XJ8, Saab 9-5, Saab 9-5 and as of last month a Genesis. IMO the Genesis is at least as good as any of those in terms of styling, quality of fit and finish and performance.

50 journalists pick the Hyundai Genesis as the Car of the Year.

Well deserved, obviously. Kudos to the Genesis and Hyundai.
 
I saw in another article not only it was the first S. Korean model to take the honor, but this was also the first luxury model to take the award.

Saab 9-5 Luxury Car????
 
Yeah, I guess that's a debatable point. But I did LOVE my 9-5's. Anyway, my point was I've owned enough "true" luxury cars to be able to answer bobad's original question.

Hyundai is flying high because Consumer Reports also rated the Genesis their top upscale large sedan.

* North American COTY
* CR's top-ranked sedan in the $30-45k price range
* Runner-up for Motor Trend's COTY
 
And... the only luxury car to offer an assurance program that will take your car back within a year if you lose your income.
 
Interesting to see what this will do for Genesis sales--and also competitor sales.

Genesis sales already dwarf the Acura RL's. Kinda embarassing for Acura, if you ask me.
 
Now that the TL moved up, should Acura kill the RL out of mercy?

I heard this RL will become the last, Honda has decided to back off from building any larger cars, RWD or V8.
