Great car. It’s nice to see this from a company like Hyundai who feels their potential buyers aren’t so stupid as to not realize a Lexus is a Toyota and an Infiniti a Nissan. They’re saying, “Why do we need a new brand? This new era of consumers are smart shoppers, they’ll look at the product and if it’s good, it’s good.”

And the Genesis is damn good. It’s got the benefit of being the underdog and will attract people who don’t need a car to stroke their ego. They’re people of worth and real millionaires who know you don’t build wealth by wearing flashy clothes and leasing expensive cars.

I expect this car to do very well.

I'm also guessing you read the 1 review that pitted the Genesis V/8 against the Lexus v/6 & somehow the Lexus came out barely on top w/regard to acceleration, so what? Though this is the only V/8 Genesis tested by anyone thus far that showed times that slow, & every other test mule would have beaten the Lexus according to thier 0-60 numbers. The fact is that both the Genesis & Lexus are farely close in every category except one, Price, which in these times is one of the most important factors to a lot of people. I'm looking for the car that provides the most dependablity, comfort, & excitement for the least amount of money.
