Im personally hoping the Genesis is the next Lexus. Its a good looking ride with all the common luxuries of every other car.
Two last points – I think they messed up by not introducing a totally seperate line/division like nissan, honda and toyota did.
I dont own a one but if I needed a lease I would be all over those for two years to test is out.

June 14, 2009 at 7:54 AM #415346paddyohParticipantAnd that Hyundai plant was subsidized by taxpayer’s money (corporate welfare for the Koreans now) and pays some of the lowest wages in the industry.
When and where do we draw the line ? When we have no industry left in the USA ?
I’m all for free enterprise but do we have to hand over all manufacturing to our world competitors on a silver platter ? Where’s the outrage ?
Taken From the Associated Press 01/31/09:
“In an interview with The New York Times, Bruce Springsteen says he shouldn’t have made a deal with Wal-Mart. This month, the store started exclusively selling a Springsteen greatest-hits CD.”
“Some fans were critical because Springsteen has been a longtime supporter of worker’s rights, and Wal-Mart has faced criticism for its labor practices. Springsteen’s team didn’t vet the issue as closely as it should have, and that he “dropped the ball on it,” he told the Times………”.Springsteen went on to say: “It was a mistake. Our batting average is usually very good, but we missed that one. Fans will call you on that stuff, as it should be.”
Jeff Bridges should take a cue from Springsteen and junk the Hyundai ( HIE-YUN-DIE ) gig.

June 14, 2009 at 9:08 AM #415351tucker…ParticipantHyundai has a great value ,for the money. in 2000 i liked the Hyundai warranty(nobody came close). i didn’t trust Hyundai because of the bad rep,but after my dealings with a American car dealership i said screw it .
that 100mile warranty on the engine and drivetrain sold me.
well my 2000 Hyundai elantra had over (240000) Jan 2009 before it died in my drive way this car took a real beating from my driving habits and my dogs.i bought a new Hyundai elantra in 2007. because i really thought how much longer can this car go and my girlfriend was really pushing me to get a new car. She was worried about how the car looked. i really didn’t care if the clearcoat on the car was flaking off or how worn the fabric was.
so i would say to anybody wanting a new car get a
Hyundai it has great value.for your hard earned dollars. i will tell you this it took, 10 years for Hyundai to lose its bad rep and poor quality.now they made Genesis which consumer reports ranked # 1 i think in 2008.
they are the American dream to go from making a piece of junk that nobody wanted, to the car that makes you think (THATS A Hyundai)oh this is the best part my girlfriend knows people at the Hyundai dealership so i got a good deal, and remember she pushed me into getting a new Hyundai.
Its funny, she works for a ford dealership.June 14, 2009 at 9:08 AM #415589tucker…ParticipantHyundai has a great value ,for the money. in 2000 i liked the Hyundai warranty(nobody came close). i didn’t trust Hyundai because of the bad rep,but after my dealings with a American car dealership i said screw it .
