to use the cash for clunkers money   A new Genesis coupe is not a bad choice at all. Replies to this message: british_rover (Jul 11, 2009 5:32 pm)

#2504 of 4250 My Genesis is quite a head turner by toye Jul 11, 2009 (7:12 pm)
These past two days alone on 10 different occasions people;               -either stopped me and wanted to look at my Genesis.               -people stopping and asking me what the name of the automobile              and who made it.               -driving along side of me, almost getting into an accident looking              because they were staring at the Genesis.   In every case they loved everything about the Genesis. People of all ages, background, are impressed the car as it speaks for itself.
#2505 of 4250 The Genesis and its exterior styling. by toye Jul 11, 2009 (7:41 pm)
The more I have my Genesis the more I'm convinced that with all the attention I'm getting is that the exterior styling is much more appealing to people than the Genesis reviews would imply. Most reviewers felt that it looked like a imitation, or that it was a combination of several luxury brands.   Perhaps Hyundai was smart with it's research ( and not being lazy) and took all the best from the rest and produce a classic style that may look just as refreshing today as in 5 or so years from now.   Obviously, people's perception, style and tastes will determine if my observation the Genesis stands the test of time.

Replying to: toye (Jul 11, 2009 7:41 pm) Hmm, we sure have different views on that. I've seen Genesis quite a few times and I never turn my head at the sight of one (although the interior is indeed quite inviting).

Replying to: toye (Jul 11, 2009 7:41 pm) I agree. There has been research into what people find attractive. In general, people find blander faces with common features more attractive than faces with uncommon, sharper features. I think this research can extend to cars. There will be some people who find cars with uncommon styling attractive. I am sure there are a few people who find the Aztec attractive, for example. But a car with clean, classic lines and common styling features, like BMWs and Mercedes Benzes and, yes, the Genesis sedan, will be seen as attractive by more people and over a longer period of time.

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jul 12, 2009 6:18 am) Hey I can only tell you what I observe. It happens all the time but the last two days were especially notable with the number of people gawking at the car. I've got the wings on the front, back and wheels and it makes the Genesis stand out.   The other day I came out of a KFC and beside me was a new S class MB same color as mine and believe it or not I thought the Genesis looked more classier, cleaner That surprised me as I assumed the MB would be automatically the winner for looks and styling. Of course my thought process is bias towards the Genesis LOL

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jul 12, 2009 6:18 am) I have to agree with that one. I can see someone turning a head simply to look at something they know is new and even somewhat significant, but "gawking"? Maybe I am jaded...you can pull up beside me in a new Bentley and I won't "gawk" at it.

#2510 of 4250 When it comes to looks by m4d_cow Jul 12, 2009 (9:19 am)
Few cars out there can get me gawking. I once actually gasped at the sight of RR Phantom next to my car, particularly because it looked perfectly capable of flattening my car (or at least threw mine out of the road).   When Equus comes to the state, assuming the looks wont change, we'll have a real hard time tellking whether it's a Hyundai or a MB S-clss knockoff (as they dont sell Crowns in US).   Currently the only Hyundai products capable of making my head turn are Gen coupe, and probably the upcoming Kia Forte. Now that (Forte) looks cool despite Kia's obvious copying of some Honda Civic's lines.
