Default Hyundai makes Lexus GS spinout of control

This ad was funny!!!!

The Lexus GS looks really classy while the Hyundai Genesis looks like a fake s class with bentley logos, no offense to anyone who has a Genesis...lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIPAFr1TK3w

This other Hyundai ad makes me laugh more, there is a reason why you buy a BMW and its not the same has buying a Hyundai!!!!

Hyundai did do a god job on the car and there marketing is funny in a good way!!!!

The GS shouldn't worry though!!!!

I searched the forum and I don't think this is a repost, hope I am right!!!!

I dunno if it's just me but that didn't really make any sense?

Location was at the former El Toro MCAS runway.

i don't like those other videos. seem stupid. so you have more horsepower, and more space. woopy.
another thing i noted was how bland and dated the M35 looked.

^^^ I like this korean review video much better. it tears hyundai a big one.
basically says hyundai is a poser. not a true sport sedan, feels unstable at high speed, and just because it has a Lexicon, doesn't mean it's a luxury car.

all those points....., so true. The under-30000 price point is appropriate. all it has going for it is straight line acceleration. and that's only the $35000+ V8 model.

back in 1989, a company made a car that most said was "following" the s class, but only better and priced a lot lower. a lot of people say that company won't be able to hang with bmw or mb, which were the sign of luxury and prestige

19 years later, that company has evolved and become one of the top well known luxury car brands in the world, and they are still improving. want to guess that brand?

i can't say if the genesis will be a success yet, but i can tell you they are moving in the right direction with a great goal. those of you laughing coz' it's a hyundai, you are just like the bmw and mb owners back in 1989. i used to say the same about hyundai couple years back, but i am giving them a lot more respect now.

if anything, laugh on the fact that those 4 luxury cars, they are mb, bmw, lexus, and infiniti. where's acura?

I totally agree with you on that Hyundai became the top well known car brand in the world. But, I would leave out luxury for now. They are just not there yet.
Hyundai is a nice affordable consumer brand.

But, I think it's about time Hyundai should bring luxury line under a new name. Like Toyota did with Lexus...
