I received an invitation in the mail for a "Discover Genesis Tour". It's being held at the Autobahn Country Club in October. After reading the information, it sounds similar to Taste Of Lexus. According to the materials there will be Mercedes, BMW and Cadillacs to compare it against. It's probably part of a national program.

Saw one on the road the other day, had to take another look because at first I swore it was a BMW (rear end). It was ok. Handsome would be the choice word. Nothing outlandish, nothing that stuck out. BMW would be proud, BMW owners-not.
Of course the Genesis videos are hot right now.

Maybe the world is not ready for a $35-40K Hyundai yet. Very good review, but I still think the interior will be the undoing of this vehicle. The dash is just too "plain" and I don't think the leather "ergonomics" is well laid out at all, atleast from the pictures.
Also, if I'm going to relieve myself of $40K, in this economy spend that much, I would get a Lexus for the name, or just go about $10K under and get either an Accord or Camry and save the rest for a rainy day.
Better yet, just get a CPO '04 Lexus LS430 UL with low mileage... and live happy for the next 15 years and see how the Genesis goes...

Marshall, I drove the Genesis 3.8 last night and must admit that I was more than impressed. Without the Nav package 32800 out the door.... V8 in the show room w/out NAV black on black 39850...
Night driving impressed me as this car has a stunning "light" set up in the interior. The v6 was a bit flat under 3k rpm however for spirited driving and family hauler very acceptable...
The pear white color is stunning at night. I rate it on par with Lexus.
This car should be on everybody's radar...
