If they tank like all other Hyundai's they will be a steal in a year or two... assuming they are reliable, I imagine these will be expensive to repair.
More on topic, I like the Genesis, but for MSRP I'll pass way too many other cars that are proven and more my style then this luxury boat! But hey, we are all different.

Except you wont find any of those at the price of the Genesis with equal options. I would also ask that you check the maintenance that will be due on those other competitors as oppose to the genesis. BMW has quietly addresses those issues because it was one of there biggest faults

This is how BMW has stepped up to the plate
For most luxury cars, maintenance is a hidden cost to consider. And when you compare maintenance programs, it's clear they're not all the same.
In fact, the BMW Maintenance Program* is one of the most comprehensive programs in its class and it offers the longest coverage period.
We cover all factory-recommended maintenance at no charge for the first four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, as well as specific items that require replacement due to normal wear and tear.
Your maintenance costs:
Engine Oil Services: $0
Inspection Services: $0
Wiper Blade Inserts: $0
Brake Pads: $0
Brake Discs: $0
Engine Drive Belts: $0
Brake Fluid Service: $0
By offering such a comprehensive maintenance program with every new vehicle, we're able to help you manage the cost of ownership and keep maintenance costs down.
And since all services are done at an authorized BMW center by a BMW certified technician who has been specially trained by us, we can ensure that only original BMW parts will be used. In other words, your BMW will be maintained to our standards, which are admittedly higher than most.
To receive applicable maintenance services at no cost, just schedule an appointment at your local authorized BMW center while your vehicle is covered by the maintenance program. Your BMW center will determine and perform the needed factory-recommended services that are covered by the BMW Maintenance Program.

The others wouldn't or shouldn't come up in the first 50k miles
Brake Pads: $0
Brake Discs: $0

Its good but I sure its captioned in some of the 15k-20k cost of what would be for an equally equipped Genesis.
Acura is not even in the picture on this one.

You guys pick on its deprecation but i dont see Audi being that good either. I was out looking at a few year old A8s over the weekend that normally sticker in the 85k range now in the mid to low 30k with low miles. Not exactly holding their value.

I remember a year or two ago reading an article that stated the A8 W12 was the worst depreciating vehicle losing a little over $56K the first year.

you can get a genesis v8 well below 40k now. basically you can always buy a hyundai 3-5k below msrp. not the new ones, but whenever they start giving out rebates. i bought my santa fe SE for 21.5 k OTD 8 months after initial launch. i saved over 5 grand!
they can be easily low balled!

It's like people garaging their devilles for the winter. 
I agree that $42,000 isn't cheap but a luxury Hyundai sedan that loses depreciation at the rate that it does is NOT a vehicle that is meant to be a "Sunday" driver. That car can be had for just a bit over 39K today and will lose about $15K in the first year/15K miles. In your case, it would have lost all that money collecting dust in the garage.
I don't see the point

A lot of 05 and 06 models are going for a hair under 30k right now. I absolutely miss that car 
although I wish I would have gotten the short wheelbase version.

but but but audi's aren't reliable with no 100k warranties. A8s are one of the most unreliable car you can buy. it's a bitch to fix those things. and depreciation is far worse than genesis! imagine that!
and 375hp > 330 hp
