Drove the car for the first time yesterday and all I can say is WOW! Never thought driving a Hyundai could be so fun or engaging yet so relaxing and assuring. Feels more secure than any BMW I've ever driven definitely more on par with an A8 as far as structural feel. In performance driving the car has such a neutral feeling and is very balanced weather on or off the accelerator. I don't think the ESP even tried to keep the car in line it just did it on it's own. This car looks great with tight wheel well gaps (looks like it's already lowered) and sharp tight body lines. The only thing I might change is the rear tail lamps so it looks less like an Infiniti.

I've owned bm'ers since '89. Just had my '05 745 turned in and said goodbye! The Genesis is every bit the luxo ride. The V6 is faster than my 745 was. Every day I fall further in love with it. The tech package is great[much easier than the i Drive!] Best thing is I can buy two genesis's for the price of a loaded 7! Great Car.

I wanted to respond to spadesman review. In regards to this HMG interface recall. I have checked with my dealership and any recall lists found on the internet. Not one mention of a recall. Other than that.....we love our new car. So far it has lived up to all expectations.

I did a lot of research, checked out the competition (Cadillac, Infiniti, etc.) and the Genesis out performs them by far. The fit and finish of this car is amazing. I find myself just stopping to admire her beautiful lines inside and out. Everyone is surprised when you tell them its a Hyundai. Hyundai hit the nail on the head when developing this great luxury automobile.

I am only 19 years of age but I know cars. My parents have leased several BMW's which i have driven. I decided to purchase the Genesis because of all that you get for the money. The 4.8 Genesis has 7 series luxury, 5 series performance, for a 3 series price. The pickup is better than the Cadillac CTS, BMW 3 and 5 series, MB C, E, and CLK class, and Lexus IS, ES, GS, and is even compared to the LS, 7 series, and S-class. This car will be remembered for years to come. A true collector's item an the age where collector cars have died out since the 1970's. I will definitely keep this car looking good and running well to keep value high.
