i think all the car's in the Acura lineup are nice looking. I also think the Sonata, Azera and the new Gensis sedan and coupe are all very nice cars.

Guys,

Why the hate for Hyundai? I've had 2 and they are excellent cars. My 2004 Soanta was the most reliable car of 2004. Followed that with an 2007 Santa Fe. Nice car . . . The Veracruz currenlty competes with the Lexus (car and driver picked the Veracruz) and the genesis blows away a 5-series. A lot of folks have a TL because the feature set for the price can't be matched by BMW, Lexus, and Benz. Why the hate of Hyundai for doing the same thing?

I do have a personal connect to Hyundai . . . go to conceptgenesis.com and watch the unvieling video of the Genese . . . notice my screenname and the last name of the presenter

My dad has a 5 series. There's no way the Genesis can be put on the same level as it. For the price however, it is a good value.

Previously to my relationship to Hyundai I would have given them a second thought. However, because of the massive discount I took the risk and gave it a try.

04 Sonata - not one mechanical problem. HOWEVER, if you sneezed on the car it would dent.

07 Santa Fe - Sheet metal was much thicker, again, not one mechanical problem.

Clearly I chose the 08 type s instead of the genesis. Why? I always liked the styling of the TL. Why part 2? Hyundai is very open and honest about using lowering quality parts where they think they can get away with it.

Would i drive a hyundai again, yes.

How can you make this statement? Have you even sat in a genesis?

This is clearly wrong if you haven't sat in one.
