    Love it. The car kinda has this mafioso vibe to it, its absolutely villainous! It kinda also reminds me of futuristic luxury cars that you would see in animes like ghost in the shell or the big o. In any case, Genesis is truly shaping up to be a serious rival to the germans, can't wait for the SUV.

      @pimpninja1985 So, how is it that I drove BMWs and Mercedes for over 15 years and never had big issues? Only once there was a slight engine damage in a 330i. My very first car was a Skoda Fabia followed by a Kia Ceed and after 4 Moths I knew: Never again. Broken windows, broken breaks, oil leaks, gearbox problems, and lastly zero comfort. I definitely learned my lesson. Only from a premium car brand you get premium quality. If you were telling the truth, you probably had a lot of bad luck. Modern German cars are far more reliable than people think. It's just because people hear something and then they parrot it without ever experiencing it themselves.

    everyone hating on this car and saying "OMG it's just a 90k Hyundai" you are wrong. first off saying that would be like saying that the Lexus LS is a 120k Toyota which is completely false. Also if you were to get the same tech and materials in a Mercedes s class it would literally be 50K more (Beleive me I checked). Like what do you get for that extra 50k? a little more tech and better materials sure and bragging rights, is that good? Yes. is it worth 50K hell no. When I look for a car I don't look for something popular or cool looking or something that gives bragging rights. I want a car that I enjoy driving and is at a good price. companies like Mercedes, Audi and BMW or very overpriced and only get sales because they are Mercedes, Audi, and BMW. They are expensive, very pricey to maintain and are not reliable. Hyundai or Genesis, in this case, has caught up to everyone else and are now one of the most affordable luxury car companies. Change my mind

    Hey guys! Firstly, I found your channel recently and I like how you review cars. Honest, factual and your observations are not overly exagerated *cough* Doug Demuro *cough*. I am a strong believer that you pay for what you get for. Yuri said it best: "You take the essential elements of the other brands and focus that in this car". Having said that, the price to pay for the service which is done by Hyundai is where it hurts! Hyundai North America has a HUGE issue with customer service. If I am about to drop 90K$ CDN on any car, I want the service to be tip-top! Lexus has been a solid stable when it comes to after-sales service and many car makers in the "premium category" such as Lincoln, Infiniti and Volvo have and continue to improve and cater to this selective clientele. Having done a stint at a Hyundai/Genesis dealership, I would wait a bit longer before considering buying this type of vehicle (G70 is OK). My money would be 1st: Mercedes-Benz E Class, Volvo S90, Lincoln Continental and BMW 5 Series (540i and above). Like anything in life, if you are paying less for something "similar" then this is a clear sign that something was sacrificed. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the opinion but I think I'd still buy it just because I love how the car can actually make me feel something by just looking at it. I'd say the same for my neighbor as they bought a fully loaded G70 and a manager at my local home depot also bought a new genesis. So people actually don't care the history of cars lol.
