It looks absolutely nothing like the S-Class interior.

The only interior that looks like the S-Class is the BMW 7-series which Mercedes directly copied suprisingly.

indash 6disc DVD changer with aux, USB, and iPod? 6disc in the car??

and i guess the silver thing around the shifter is actually metal but the butt warmer button is still plastic! ahhhh! I can't point my finger but I just don't like this car. There's nothing that pops out. Nothing seems new.

Those are all good things right? I've seen a lot of 6-Disc in dash CD changers, but this might be the first in dash DVD changer. The AUX input is a major bonus for me. I just want to know if it is only audio or video as well.

Wow. Looks a lot better than the current Grandeur that's supposed to be their flagship, nice work. Looks very executive.

You haven't seen a reliability study since the 90's, have you? I'd easily trust the reliablity of a Hyundai over a Mercedes or BMW anyday. Just look at any quality study and you'll see.

Quality is now one of the main selling points of Hyundai. Who would've thought?!

Like I've said before, and I agree with JLSC4, I don't see much S-class in that interior AT ALL.

If ANYTHING, it resembles the Infiniti Q45 interior:

I'm no Hyundai expert, but given the quality of the materials in their current models (Azera, Veracruz etc.) they should be pretty good in the top of the line Genesis. The styling, of course, is subjective, but I'm guessing it will be good quality.

This really irritates me. I can't see a Hyundai ever comming close to the top 5 Luxury makers...yet they are convined they are with thier yesterdays technology and copy-cat designes.

So you say it's a clear copy of the S-class but also say it doesn't feel luxurious. Therefore, the S-class doesn't feel luxurious. Correct?

I think you need to put your glasses on. Show me ONE similarity other than the fact they both have steering wheels.
