ding ding ding....we have a winner.

 

the headlights and taillights extending into the body?

 

they compared the interior size of a car with another.

shit, i could compare a ford crown vic with a 7 series saying that there is more interior space. tis true, but they compared it to a BMW cuz it has a reputable name for expensive cars

 

now without the top half, do you see anything similar?

 

i see the rear door slope, slope of windshield, overall headlamp assembly, rear windshield, etc

 

the whole front end

 

Thanks for blowing my cover.

But it's no secret. I posted months ago about working for Hyundai and test driving the Genesis prototype in Korea.

Before everybody jumps on the bandwagon and claims I'm biased... I've been giving credit to Hyundai since years ago, back when I was in college and when I didn't imagine in my wildest dreams that I would end up in Alabama working here. And my perspective on that is well documented on this forum over the years.

 

This is old news... Doesn't anyone go into the Automotive News forum here ??

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...hlight=Genesis

RWD and a 375hp V8 for 30 something thousand sounds pretty good to me...

 

the bmw lights looks more like the g35, altima lights than the accords, tail lights going torwards they've been doing since the 03 sedans came out.

 

Will you get us a special AZ Genesis special price?

 

interior shot

btw, the commercial i was talking about was the first where they compared it had room of a s class for a c class price

the bmw's front looks more like a 350z to me, its rounded off where as the accords is sharp, the grille extends outward on the accord looks alot like the 08 subaru legacy.
to me the whole car looks more like the RL than a E60.

 

I keep waiting for you to bump the genesis coupe thread with some new info

 

I'm not sure if our APP plan applies to Canada.

 

texas?

 

ROFL

I'm trying to get my hands on a pre-production Genesis Coupe (not the orange concept) before it actually hits the U.S. market. It won't happen next week, but hopefully sometime in the near future. I'll be updating the thread with my impressions, just as I did with the sedan.

 

OH Boy! Hyundai employee discount.

He still won't buy one with his own money.

 

Well, I could care less if the Genesis does take styling cues from other high-end manufacturers. Who cares?

As long as the end product appeals to my sensories, which the Genesis does, then I'm definitely going to make my way to a dealer when we're buying later this year.

I think some people are just so hung up on branding...

I want my dollar to go as far as possible and I want the vehicle to appeal to me.

 

Very well stated sir.

 

 

reminds me of when the IS250/350 first came out, and there was a thread in one of the IS forums about the IS being way > than the TSX. and a lot of acura owners were calling them snobs and brand-whores.

 

WTH? Even with a discount, it's still my money.

 

Just came back from class to discover the imminent ownage from a few hours ago already carried out by PA

Please keep us updated in the Genesis thread

 

Didn't he say he's HAPPY with his current TL?

Plus, how long has he been working at Hyundai?

My thoughts are, based on his responses, that he'll closely look at the new generation Hyundais before purchasing his next car.

I'm able to get GM discount pricing but nothing in their product line has appealed to me for years (minus the Acadia) - so am I a moron for not buying a GM?

 

 

Age is a huge factor in FACTS. Young people think opinions are fact and those of us with some life experience finally know the difference.

 

Yes, point? I didnt say he had to buy it tomorrow...

Who know's, point?

And he still wont buy one.

Not sure what this has to do with anything we're talking about.

 

One could argue that the LS400 and the Legend took some clues from Mercedes Benzes of the day. The LS400 definitely did.

Infiniti put some unique thought into the Q45 and it didn't do nearly as well as the LS400 ... Frankly, I don't think Americans LIKE different (as a whole).

 

..what are your resources on this...
just stop dude, the hole keeps getting deeper..

 

Right.

His point is that I've had the Acura since before I came to work here. So it's not like I intentionally avoided buying a Hyundai. I'm just not at a point where I have either the need or the want to get a new car.

Despite the fact that I already stated my next car will most likely be the Genesis Coupe??

I believe he's referring to your analogy earlier... which everybody said made no sense.

 

what does life experience have to do with cars? you're basing your "life experience" on the history of cars, just because you didnt grow up during the civil war doesnt mean you don't know anything. history can be learned, history is where facts come from. being a teen in the 80's doesnt mean you know the cars, taking the initiative to learn about that is what gives you facts.

Cliff notes- History is facts, life experience isnt.

i really get the feeling that you are trying to say "im big, you're little. I'm smart, you're dumb"

 

You sure appear to be suggesting that since he has said positive things about Hyundai that he should go out and buy one. He's HAPPY with his current car - that's the point.

You're suggesting that since he works at Hyundai and gets a discount that he should at least own one. My point is that perhaps he's only been working there for a few months or even a year - much too short a time to just blindly take the discount and buy one of their cars. Plus, see the point above about him being HAPPY with his car.

Nostradamus in the making...

Once again, you've suggested that since he works at Hyundai and gets a discount that he should own one of their cars as if buying something cheaper than everyone else should motivate him to rush out and buy the product.

You're the only person in this thread who feels as if Pure Adrenaline has a freaking hard-on for Hyundai and is "gloating" (you still don't know what that means) about their product.

I would bet more than 99% of the people reading this thread feel as if Pure Adrenaline's posts are informative, intelligent and do not indicate he is trying to push Hyundai towards anyone.

You, on the other hand, thinks he should go buy immediately or he can't say anything positive about the brand.

 

I really get the feeling that you are trying to say "I'm 19, I know everything about the world."

Save this thread on your computer and revisit when you're 25. You will feel differently, having gained more life experience about cars in that time.

 

Why not most definitely? You work for the fucking company for god sakes...What does this tell us about the cars they make??

It made perfect sense, all you need to do now is buy a Hyundai to prove me wrong.

 

eh, c'mon guys. i know teenagers and college students that have had more life experiences than me. so let's not be quick to judge someone's intelligence after a few posts.

we may not agree with him, but what do you expect from an internet car forum?

 

most likely...most definitely...

c'mon man. just because he works for hyundai and he likes the car...does that make him obligated to buy the car?

like he said earlier. there could be a number of reasons why he may not end up buying the genesis coupe, and those reasons may have nothing to do with the quality of the car itself.

 

Because I might go for a Veracruz. I might go for the Genesis sedan instead. I might go for the new vehicle in development. *hint hint* Future is never certain. The best I can say is "most likely."

I don't have to prove shit. I love my Acura and I love my job. The two don't necessarily have to coexist. I sure hope you don't work at a pig manure processing plant, because I would be telling you to go eat shit and die already. Because I'm just about done with you. Bye.

 

I still can't find a single convincing argument why the Genesis isn't going to become a success...

 

come back!

oh, please tell more.

 

To each his own.
