I think it has one of the nicest looking butts in the industry.

what the hell is with the blue circles in the speedo & tach - that trend is annoying as hell
also, they got the manual shift wrong like so many others, should be forward to downshift and back to upshift
looks nice, tho

My guess is this car prices $5K-$7K under the corresponding Lexus car (base MSRP to base MSRP) but will have to offer more things as standard
If anything I think Hyundai has positioned itself as a cheaper Toyota (or tried to) so this car is a real departure from Hyundai products to date.
This design is markedly better than anything else Hyundai has done to date. The big unknown is how it drives (i.e. will it get any love from Euro sedan buyers/shoppers)

It is a Genesis so I am guessing it will be a start to Hyundai's Luxury line.
I think it looks pretty good for their intro model out of the gates.
Remember how crappy and plain the first Lexus ES looked like?

I'm looking to get into cheaper cars since I'm within a few years of rebuilding the house on my dads property. I was thinking of moving down to an Avalon, Camry, Accord, or on the higher end a G35S for mid $30K. Perhaps this car might be the best choice yet.
I thought the car looked nice inside and out, but wasn't sure if I could drive a Hyundai just yet. After seeing the photoshop pics and the specs I think I'm ready to jump into a Hyundai
Man, I don't care how this car drives as I'm probably goint to bag it and put some 20" or 21" rims (Depending on how large the car really looks in person) on it anyway. The great thing about a car like this is it can be the perfect daily driver. Right now I have a bone stock old cheap Camry for a DD and drive the Lexus and BMW on other occations. Can you image instead of buying an Accord or Camry for a daily beater, for a little more money you can buy this Hyundai, still save gas because it runs on regular, the car looks great, has lots of power, more than likely will have a very long warrantee which are all perfect for daily drivers. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I could actually see two Hyndai's in my garage. This one and the Hyundai Coupe we talked about a few months ago.
PS, you guys don't like the front grill? I actually like it. I really like the front end a lot. This car is pretty hot IMHO.

I almost hate to say this, but, why can't Honda build something that looks that good? I mean, if this were the new Accord (albeit, a bit smaller) Honda would have no problem outselling the Camry.

Many AWD systems have a rear wheel bias with the ability to transfer power to the front wheels. So they don't have to yield bad gas mileage (except for extra weight). And AWD isn't actually better for handling, it's better for traction, this is a mistake many people make when buying an AWD vehicle.
