Korean cars, hmmm .. .

sure they may not have the re-sale value of a japanese car just yet (haven't been around as long), but times are changing. you may not like them and you're entitled to your own opinion, but there are many who do...

btw... i'm a big Honda fan, but there isn't anything really in the past few years that have sparked my interest. like toyota, their exterior designs have been boring lately...

The Hyundai's have come a long way. I owned one a long time ago and of course it was a terrible car. I did look at the Hyundai Genesis it is a very nice car. I made the mistake of test driving the Infiniti G37S and that is the reason I own this car. If Hyundai was smart they would do the same thing as Lexus, Acura, Infiniti do and come up another line rather than calling them all Hyundai's. If you see a Lexus 250 and Hyundai Geneis Coupe in the parking lot most people are going to notice the Lexus just because it is a Lexus.

No matter how nice they make a Hyundai look, it's still a glorified POS.

Coming from a Mercedes S500, an Infiniti M45, various BMW's and a Chrysler 300C/SRT8, I personally will say my 2012 Genesis R-Spec Sedan is the best overall car I have owned so far.

My work offered me a choice of a 2012 Mercedes E350 Sedan or an Eqqus, but while looking at the Equus I test drove a R-Spec Sedan and it was a done deal.

If you don't like them, more power to you but one listen to the Lexicon sound system playing a DVD-Audio in full 7.1 Surround Sound through its 17 Speakers,
not to mention the feel of its V8 powered 429HP motor pushing through the 8-Speed tranny and passing by the pumps with its 26+ overall MPG (That's City and Highway combined)...
this things got everything I need and then some.

some people can't look pass the past and accept change, and that's okay as everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. btw... nice ride!

I can accept the change but it will have to prove itself long term and not just looks. They still have some driving refinement to work on as well. What will the resale be like. We have friends that just sold off a 3 year old Odyssey for a 6 thousand less than they paid for it or about 20% depreciation. Honda and Toyota may have some not so good looking cars but they resale very well making the cost of ownership much less.

the thing i like is they (Hyundai) are listening and getting input on what they can improve on, and try to improve when possible. with that said, they are definitely stepping in the right direction and keep climbing the ladder. no one car manufacturer is nearly perfect, and that's what the buyer has to decide on what they do and do not like in a car before purchasing one. it's nice to have choices these days...
