Kind of has a little W208 Mercedes S Class look up front. I tell you, this car looks a lot more European than Asian. The back end has a BMWish look to it for me. I really hope this car drives and holds up as well as its exterior looks. It really would be a shame if this car sucks and falls apart.

It's unique? Are you kidding? This car is lots of things but unique is certainly not one of them...

I was referring to the odd look I had previously mentioned - where I felt front a certain angle, it reminded me of a Saab and Avalon at the same time..

Wow. You guys must really feel threatened if you feel the need to demean the styling and design of the genesis by claiming everything is copied. lol.

meowCat --------- I as well appreciate the vehicle however I must say that you seem to respond to everything in this thread prompting me to ask do you work for H?

Your rebuttal to every comment is concerning?

Maybe you should allow the thread to take a "natural" progression.

Let's all keep in mind that we should be respecting one another as much as possible. We're simply sharing thoughts, opinions and ideas. If you feel the need, attack ideas - not people...

meowCat, we should label you as the honorary Club Lexus Genesis guru

Seriously though, thanks for the updates and pics.

This was not the base model reviewed. Check the part 1 video. The base model is the Grand in Korea, the model reviewed was the Luxury model, one step above the Grand.

It's pretty surprising that he didn't like the Genesis. His family has owned 9 Hyundais so that really says something. Looking at the video, the car looked a little nervous in the corners. It's also surprising to hear that the V6 version only gets 1-piston brakes.

It's safe to say the V6 Genesis will be the volume seller, not the V8 Genesis, so the review is applicable in this case.

It's also surprising that he was complaining about the pricing and options of the Genesis in Korea, saying it has no price advantage over the competition.

Plus that Korean amateur guy who reviewed it used the BH330 version, the cheapest and lowest grade and slowest car. Of course it wouldn't ride the same as the V8 Standard version in both power and ride.





Thanks! and no problem.

I will continue to post any updates/pics as what I can.

meowcat.... my wording in previous post came off harder than I wanted to... Training for a fight makes a brotha irritable...lol

Keep coming with new information and no hard feelings



BTW.... are you sure you don't work as a marketting rep. for Hyundai? They should put you on the payroll..

LMAO
