I test drove a 5.0 Hundyai Genesis yesterday, 420hp with an 8 speed paddle shift. I was told it was comparable to the IS-F. It is not. The body rocks from side to side in cornering, and there is no strong pull in the acceleration, even when flooring the throttle in full auto. It's a nice car, but for 52K you could get a very clean IS-F. After the drive, I took the salesman out in my car to show him the difference. He was speechless.

You're right about G5.0 being a nice ride...but noooo apple!

It does look nice at least but not giving up the F for one anytime soon for sure

I went to go look at them before I bought my F to take 1 out for a spin and when I floored it didn't feel much faster then my G35. The salesman tried to tell me it was faster then the F and that Hyundai was 1 of the 10 best car manufactures in the world. My business partner laughed in his face ha ha

I drove a 5.0 rspec with the tighter suspension. The chasis was very floppy. The car inside wasn't bad at all and the engine was smooth. Remember, this is a 4600LB car!! Given that fact they're lucky it did 0-60 in 5.0 even with the power it has!

"Floppy chassis" hahaha perfect analogy.

Definitely not in the same class. The Genesis is a much heavier car to pull around for a 420hp V8. I was invited to the initial unveiling to test drive the new Genesis 5.0 R and while it was a nice car, great cruiser - you can't even compare this to an ISF. The Genesis felt very old man car - supple ride, steering felt disconnected from the road. You get a lot of car for the money though compared to the Benz and BMW in the same class.

Lol "a bit"? It's huge!! It's larger than the GS, it's about the same size as a short wheel base LS

I was told by a Genesis owner that he would put "10 cars" on my crappy Toyota anytime.

i have no clue why everyone likes to compare various random cars to each other, just doesn't make sense. I would expect the Genesis to be a big plush sedan not a small 4 door like the F. The genesis wasn't made to be a sports sedan but to be a refined sedan at a lower price point than the German competitors or even the Lexus GS class.

That being said why even make this comparison?

Comparing these two cars is like feeling the need to go WOT against the aggressive prius driver beside you who keeps mashing the gas from light to light. Utterly useless...
