the new Genesis does look amazing. I wonder if Equus (priced around 65k) is gonna be even better since it's quite a jump from the base Genesis sedan (40k)
Was gonna trade in my 2.0T Sonata for an R-spec but I waited to see what the final remodel would look like.... glad I waited, would've been stuck with a fast Hyundai that looked like an old Merc.

lol all these "erhmagerd it looks like x and y with z"
It's a huge step up from the last generation's Genesis in terms of design. It's quite a bit more eye-catching than the last one, which was a bit bland.. I think within a few more years, Hyundai will be quite a competitor with the other big European luxury brands with all the features and the bells and whistles it packs (and the pricing to top it off)... Once people get over the "It's still a Hyundai" mindset
Car looks good. Has Lexus GS styling cues among others. I deal with a lot of Hyundai products and while their vehicle design looks great the fit and finish on their products is still meh. Better than previous gens but nowhere near the Japanese or Euro automakers.
I don't think that when I hear Nissan either. Just saying Posted via RS Mobile
I know your point, but the problem with Hyundai is, they're know for cheap cars and have no heritage for performance cars or luxury cars.
For example Nissan, they have had a long history for Skyline, Fairlady, Silvia, 180SX, etc.
They have also competed in LeMans 24, Super GT, Indy 500, etc.
Same as GM, they make cheap cars, but also have Corvette and Camaro at a same time. Same as Dodge Viper and Ford GT.
I also understand your point. I knew you would mention nissan' history.
The problem is hyundai has slowly improved their quality and cars and only people who have really owned their cars in the past 5 years or so understand its not the same as the 90's.
It's like when you've got a fat coworker. He's lost 50lbs in one year but you don't notice it because you see him every day. He had a cousin that lived far away and hadn't seen him for a long time and commented that he looks amazing with the weight lose.
The stigma is a hard one to get rid of.
EDIT: Timpo: One day RS will put a hyundai up on their banner and get rid of your GTR
But it still is a Hyundai. They definitely need to make a separate brand.
Let's face it, when you hear a word Hyundai, you don't think about luxury or high performance cars do you?
People use to say the same thing with the Japanese brands. Datsun/Nissan and Honda were not a brand everyone loved. But they were cheap, and they started to prove themselves as high quality vehicles. I'd say Hyundai is well on their way.
