They'd rather have a Mercedes or a Lexus, etc. but they are too poor or cheap to buy one.

With better values around, Lexus is for suckers, Mercedes is for stupid suckers, and the most stupid suckers are the proud ones. This is the most pathetic comment I've ever heard. If you don't like it, then dont, but please don't start calling names on other people's choices. Mercedes, Lexus, Audi and the likes have things Hyundai doesn't have yet: 1) Luxury quality product 2) red carpet customer service 3) reputation - image, you name it. Except for number 3, which is debateable, you can't deny that Genesis is still inferior to the big names. Time and experience will fix this like I said.

Yes I can deny it. Audi, MB, and BMW have a horrible reputation high maintenance costs. Things like engines blowing, transmission problems, fancy mirrors leaking and ruining the carpets, wiring problems, you name it. People are so blinded by the badge mystique they can't see the reality. When a cars fall apart like the above, it would be nice to have a 10/100 warranty. Sorry to say you won't be getting one. In my opinion, luxury car owners shouldn't be treated that way.  rhduke00, if I owned a Bentley, I would definitely put a Hyundai or other handy badge on it. It wouldn't affect the car 1 bit, and would fool stupid thieves that look for expensive cars.
