Hyundai Genesis Coupe Crashed in Korea

Ahhh… that’ll buff out.

LOL totalfail on the airbags and for thinking its a nice car..

Well thats one down

at least its a shitty hyundai and not a real car

at least its a shitty hyundai and not a real car

at least its just a shitty hyundai and not a car worth giving a darn about

I don’t think you guys know what you’re talking about.
The airbag not deploying is a big problem, however, the wrecked car actually looks very GOOD. It was a high speed offset collision. I see almost no buckling in the roof structure, the A-pillar appears completely intact. There is some foot-well intrusion, but not much. Overall, the safety cage held up surprisingly well for such a high speed impact. The crumple zones appear to have worked perfectly and did their intended job. Aside from the airbag not deploying, the structure of the car itself looks very safe.

Oh Kooorea!

Now see what you get when you buy a Hyundai??

But Nelson says it best…..

*points at car* “HAHA!”

hahahahah, they dont make’em like they used too!!!!

pic six has a front wheel drive poppin a wheelie kick ass

Either the driver was going really fast, or the car is really poorly built. I guess those are two explanations for the amount of damage.

Never mind the car I hope the passengers make a full recovery

Every country has its own safety regulations, because the U.S. has to many drunk driving and shit heads on the road, the government, by law, says the car needs to be the safest it can be. (the crash itself)~Its more like two fucking idiots conversing too much and didn’t know how to drive at all. Accidents happen, but when your “testing” a car (trust me, many test car drivers have a little too much fun with the cars) you should keep your head out of your ass and pay attention a little, not to mention its a rear wheel drive car that has a shit load of power (V8) and if I remember correctly there aren’t very many civilian v8 cars in Korea except for trucks.

Thought they had crash test dummys for that?
When did they start using actual people?

IDHITIT “If the impact doesn’t occur within a very precise cone angle on the front the airbags will not deploy.. regardless of the make of car.” LMAOOO the whole front of the car is missing LOL

Street pole: 1
Genesis: 0

THIS CAR HAS AAAAIIIIDDDDSSSS! =) I love AIDS! That’s what you get for paying over 30k for a HYUNDAI. SOOOWWWWYYYY

no airbags… thats beat

Just goes to show again alot of nippers cant drive.

If the impact doesn’t occur within a very precise cone angle on the front the airbags will not deploy.. regardless of the make of car.

that man most have hurt his head, look at the steering wheel
didnt wear a seatbeld, cause the bags didnt go of.
.
who named the pics??: Poor Aston DB7 Doesn’t Deserve This…??????wth

fucki hell

i will give $75 for thoes seats. i want them for my saturn. lol.

i want those seats

I’ll give $50 for the two rear wheels and tires

Occiffer I swear it came out of the sky!, i was drifting mayann!!

How that son bitch get that much speed in the traffic filled city?? I think this is another one of those bullshit cardomain blogs. Stop it already guys.

asian driving= picture above

lol not a scratch on da lamp post

Concrete lightpost ftw!

whoever listed a hyundai under aston db7 should be crucified

The wheels are intact, those should be worth something

In Korea they don’t crash test their cars in a secure facility. They like to use a more “real life” test scenario for their cars. LOL

the airbag will not function if the driver or passenger does not use the safety belt?

Xpenzive Crap!!!!!

lol and concrete wins

Air bags are not 100% garanteed to deploy, just some small print to save car manufacturer’s asses. LOL

in korea cars are not required to have air bags but are put in for cars exported to the usa, im not sure if cars exported to the usa have airbags but i would assume but 100% positive bout cars in korea not required to ave air bags crazy aint it

No airbag deployment, and it seems the brake pedal moved a good distance, or the seat is all the way forward to compensate for their stature. What a piece of junk; nice wheels though.

lmfao, nice steering wheel… only for the jdm world i guess

such a shame… i like “Apparently, it rounded a corner and then proceeded to slam into a concrete post” lmfao

apparently this fucker tried to drift and fkn FAILED

that’ll buff out … don’t worry ^_^

i guess buying this car you are the air bag.
wait i think this car made for north korean.

Why are the pics labeled as Aston DB9?

my only concern is if i were i in the car at the time of the crash is why in the hell did the airbags not deploy??? Think about that one Hyundai.

well if it really is just a test mule then it still has kinks, all cars go through these stages. Im sure that Hyundai’s learned from this experiance, and they hopefully improve upon this and learn from it

who cares!!! hyundais suck!!!!!!!!!!!! they build shipping containers way better than they make cars!!!!!!!!!

Speaking from 7 years experience dismantling late model wrecks in a scrapyard, I don’t think it has anything to do with the car being a manufacturer unit that the bags didn’t deploy. I’ve seen worse carnage than this with no airbag deployment, and on the other end of the spectrum we’d get in cars that just bumped a deer doning minimal front end damage, yet both bags would go off and take out the windshield! And yes, steering wheels are supposed to bend, this guy must have seen it coming and held on for dear life. Good wreck anyways!

LOL the airbags are designed to last 100,000 miles… no matter how many accidents.

LOL NO AIRBAGS???? HOLY CRAP! I guess that is why they are still second rate!

why does everyone care about this stupid car?

well from the looks of it, it looks like the people in it wasn’t hurt to bad because it don’t look bad inside the car, and to Steve, i think steering wheels are supposed to bend like that in an impact so the wheel doesn’t do as much damage to the driver by giving way,

The United States military puts their newly-constructed defense system into use against Korea.

Like they said on Jalopnik: airbags didn’t deploy, so it must be a test mule.

Are steering wheels supposed to bend like that?

I think they were actually trying to import that one to the US – you gotta be going pretty fast to reach escape velocity and get it all the way over the ocean. Too bad things didn’t turn out well.

looks like the driver didn’t have a foot on the brake at the time of impact either.

It’s the way of things. Day one of new models’ release, the destruction begins.
