Yeah I know it's a Hyundai but the standard equipment and options are difficult to ignore in view of the price you can get for a loaded model.

Compared to other premium brands one might consider it competitively priced, but it's hard to ignore a 10% price increase compared to the last gen. The base MSRP has increased by over $3500 and the R-Spec has increased by $4100.

I would like to think that the price increase was done to help the sales of the Azera which starts at $31k, but I'm not sure.

 

Damn. That's a good looking car!

 

I'm still waiting to see what Hyundai has done with regards to steering feel, and inherent build quality.

I figure the R-Spec Hyundai models should feel great. But I've heard that Toyota has more road feel in comparison to Hyundai

Then there's also the issue of the dealership experience, and resale value. As much as Hyundai has progressed, they still have a long way to go. I really want them to succeed, as they're taking chances in areas Honda would not dare tread.

 

Mustang GT for that price. Have you seen the 2015?? Yeesh. I will say that I was impressed by the R spec I drove but I found the suspension too stuff for daily use. I understand that it's the performance variant but it was REALLY stiff.

 

I think it's safe to say I'd buy a Hyundai before an Acura at this point in time. Maybe the NSX depending on what it ends up looking like in production trim...

 

The Genesis looks great in person. I spent some time in both the 3.8 and the 5.0 at the NYIAS and everything feels substantially upgraded over the old car. The one area that I still do not like is how cheap the buttons feel and the center console controller for the infotainment system just does not feel well damped. Aside from that, the rest of the interior looks fantastic, especially the matte finish wood trim, and I really like the new exterior. Waiting to get some seat time in one soon. Too bad it is too big of a car for my tastes.

 

just priced it out and you could tack on like 15k for packages. the 3.8l breaks into 50k quick....i think id rather take an Infiniti M.

i digress...priced out the 5.0 and it was almost the same as the loaded 3.8l. you basically get the 5.0 engine for free considering most of the 3.8 packages come standard with the 5.0.

 

M? The sea creature you mean?

 

yup, the car that doesn't hide its badges for the sake of consumerism mockery

 

I love everything about this car but the price. Its hard to swallow such a large price increase even though there are a lot of features on this new one. I'd almost be tempted to try and snag a leftover 5.0 R-Spec as you could probably swing some very aggressive pricing on them as dealers try to move the old inventories.

 

I would rather hide the badge and drive a Genesis. Don't want to be seen driving a sea creature on the road.

 

I strongly disbelieve that.

 

You wont pay anything like that at the dealer My dad walked out the door with his Genny for 32 and its about as loaded as you could get with the 3.8

 

Whats wrong with the build quality? My dads with 160k on it is as solid as the day he bought it. Dealership experience was great as well.

 

Incredible looking car, really. The interior is miles ahead of the predecessor, not that there's anything wrong with the current one.

 

I guess I should have read the article. I thought this was about the coupe.

 

Looks like the Grand Theft Auto 7 series car IMO. Is there a new Genesis Coupe coming out aswell?

 

Beautiful car. I like the direction their design team is going in

 

re: the price increases... it is quite a sizable jump. I don't know how it stacks up against the competition, but I'm sure the car is still a great value for what you get.

My mistake... the people I've heard complaints from about build quality owned a Genesis Coupe, not the sedan. But I do remember some things online about steering feel, which depends.

 

I just did a build your own and came up with $48,950 for the 3.8 AWD with two packages. I'm waiting to receive lease terms. Still a lot of car for the price.
