The new Genesis sedan is in the running of my next car to buy. It's up against a 5 series and a Cadillac CTS. The Genesis literally left my jaw hanging for a couple hours after driving it. Take the badge off and I would have guessed it was a Mercedes or Lexus. Very high quality build.

Wow, this just might be my next car! Especially used it might be just under $20k. The exterior didn't catch my eye at first, but that interior looks great.

I drove the Genesis sedan. One word.. WOW. Hyundai has their shit together. Why cant other companies do this?! Close your eyes and you're in a high end Mercedes, except with LESS rattles and better feel. My only complaint was the power, but I guess there is a 400hp version out?! I drove the 6cyl.

If they decide to put a big engine in the coupe, that could be a real winner.

Because the fanboys don't even look at Hyundai... and knowing that the Z06 is a way better performance (even better overall) car than any BMW, they have to talk sh*t to feel good about themselves.

I wouldn't get a Genesis coupe... my friend with an E36 M3 for sure will.

Actually, since the last time, they officially cut down on the weight.

These are the latest official weight:


CURB WEIGHT

V6 manual / automatic
3,389 / 3,397 lbs.

2.0-liter manual / automatic
3,294 / 3,362 lbs.


Remember the car is the size of the G37 which weight around 3600lbs.

This might be the one to turn that company into a competitor other than the "payless shoes of cars" company

I think 20" BBS is an overkill but those TE-37s look sick on this car.
Can't wait to see the one with a turbo upgrade and ECU flash and I really want to drive one as a commuter.
