Everyone starts from humble beginnings.]]>Dec 6th 2007 8:32AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 10:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 10:40AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/it's the MercfinitiMW LS to be exact. (look @ the grill)

I've never been a Korean car fan, and I especially was never one to put "Korean" and "luxury car" in the same category. As a die-hard import luxury fan (BMW, MB, Volvo, Jag, Bentley, Porsche,Audi, Lexus, Land Rover) I was kinda hoping Hyundai would change my views and prove me wrong about them. Well folks, my bias still stands.
I think this would be a good Camry competitor though.]]>Dec 5th 2007 10:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 11:00AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/But it looks more like the previous generation S class to me than the newer one.]]>Dec 5th 2007 11:12AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 12:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 6th 2007 2:14AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/
This is gonna be a tough sell.]]>Dec 5th 2007 10:42AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/
The market has been waiting over 25 years for someone to build a RWD family sedan for ~25K. I can't stop smiling thinking about it. Let's face it, it is all about price and at this end of the market even a 5K price difference counts.

The competition:
Accord V6
Camry V6
crown victoria/grand marquis
Fusion V6, etc.

I think the choice is clear.

You may have a point though I could be swayed.

I'm just saying that I guess it's the same as those guys that settle for Viragos when they really wanted a Harley.

Personally, I'd much rather have a Cadillac, and I NEVER thought I'd say that about a Cadillac vs anything.]]>Dec 5th 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 5:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/
Accord V6
Camry V6
crown victoria/grand marquis
Fusion V6, etc.

This was designed as a luxury sedan to compete with BMWs Lexus and Mercedes. Not CAMRY, come on. Camry competes with Sonata, never Genesis. I'm sure although Hyundai's got reasonable price tags, this thing's gonna cost well over 30k. Azera costs arouond 25k and this car must be better than Azera and therefore bit expensiver than that. It's starting price in Korea is around 40k.

Hyundai spent over $.5 billion bucks over past 4-5 years to build a luxury sedan. Give some credit for the effort. ]]>Dec 7th 2007 1:24AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 10:49AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/
"Honda Accord much" - nope.

Honda Accord actually has more derivatives than this, including the current Sonata.]]>Dec 5th 2007 3:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 10:54AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/Dec 5th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/hyundai-genesis-sedan-officially-revealed/
Except then I suspect you wouldn't be so forgiving about the godawful headlights ogling out from the jutting bulldog grimace of the XF, like Ugly Betty on a bad hair day.

Save yourself some money and just buy a Jaguar logo to paste to your forehead, if that's what you're after.]]>Dec 5th 2007 11:13AM
