Hyundai trumps BMW and Jaguar in J.D. Power 2009 APEAL study

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.

Wow, I didn't see that coming. Good for Hyundai. I'm thinking of buying a V8 Genesis sedan used in a year or two.

Having driven a Genesis and a Camry, the Camry is definitely the rental-quality car. That may help explain why its sales numbers are slipping to the Accord as well - Honda is only 20,000 cars behind the Camry in 2009, the smallest difference ever between the two makes.

How can you compare a $40K Genesis to a 28K Camry. I'll take the Genesis!

Well, you could compare a $33k XLE Camry to a $32 Genesis, since the only difference between the $32k Genesis and the $40k (it actually starts at $37k) genesis is engine size.

The Genesis is a vastly superior vehicle. The Camry is not in its league.

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...

But I'll make the payments on the Camry, and endure the lack of appeal, and take my wife on a leisurely trip around the world with the other 12K.
