For real driving enthusiasts, a BMW or a Porsche or a Mercedes will always come out on top. However, the thing that is killing them now is the price. The vast majority of people don't need or care to buy a car that can drive smooth and controlled even at 150 mph on the autobahn, ... if the car feels wobbly a bit and the steering wheel is slightly disconnected from the column and it doesn't quite feel like the refined machine that the German cars are, so be it ... it is cheaper. And that's the key - especially in these times.
That said I think the Genesis is a good looking car. It's not a dumb decision, but JD Power interviews all types, and that means most people will be point A to B types.
lol do you really think those German cars are steadier at 150mph than their competitors?
Man, those ads really have got you by the balls. ///M marketing lol.
Spoken like a true person who hasn't moved past the fact that Hyundai no longer makes the junk they once did.
And, um, FTR, no one rents Hyundai Genesis'... but I have rented plenty of Camary's.
iTsLiKeAnEgG... hope you get one! I've test driven one and it made my Cadillac STS look and feel like a piece of crap! That Genesis was sooooooooo nice!!!!! *drool*
Okay... carry on with the Hyundai bashing like it's still 1987...
That shpould like wahyt GM has been saying since the 70's. Hyandai might have improved but it no Hoada or toyota. Its still a wantabe.
Interesting released study from JD Power on owner appeal of the cars they own - The Hyundai Genesis got higher marks than the BMW 5 Series, knocking it from its historic top spot. The study looks at new owners and their cars to draw the evaluation.
Also, Toyotas are bottom of the barrel, further evidence that Toyota makes unappealing cars - even to those that buy them.
Thats incredibly odd. I agree with Toyota, but how on God's green earth would people find Hyundai more appealing than BMW??? Just goes to show that the world has VERY LOW STANDARDS.
Now, dont get me wrong, Hyundai has come a long way and I respect that (we even bought one). But "appealing"? In what possible way? Nothing they make stands out at! Theyre cheap, affordable, run-of-the-mill cars and SUVs (minus the Genesis series) that blend into the parking lots with the "best" of em.
I wholly agree about Toyota. Them and Honda should occupy the last 2 spots and for good reason. They... make... yawn.... boring...

They don't find it so. Read the article. Hyundai ranks far below all the brands it's being compared to.
I think the issue is getmeoutofhere is a Lexus car salesman - I think he has a horse in this race.
I like BMW better than Lexus. More fun.
But even barring that, it's a flight of fancy to assume that Hyundai is better in any way than the top 3 luxury brands.
