Isn't it like the American interpretation of VIP? I don't know. Dub is definitely not my style. Anyways, I'd take that 3rd Genesis of the three

It is the new Chrysler 800. Black one looks good. We will see plenty with 22's on them I'm sure.

i like the white car best. i got something for white cars. the 2 tone of the interior of the black car is a turn off too.

they look ok but that genesis looks too much like a mix of a lot of cars. I see some infiniti M in the tails, 5 series, LS, etc etc.

too bad the biggest talking point about this car is the powertrain

I can't help but laugh at (won't say the brand) looking at these wonderful machines which totally trump anything that "luxury" brand makes.

Those are some HARD looking cars and amazing they are Hyundais!!!

Who woulda thunk it?

The pictures of these two Geneses came up in another thread, and IMO they both really look great.

THAT SAID...it's a shame that the canvas here wasn't more distinctive. You can drop and pimp out a Camry now and it will look really good. Yeah, these Geneses look better than that, but the car as a whole just isn't memorable. It doesn't leave a distinctive impression.

My biggest qualm with the car is the styling. If Hyundai had done something more dramatic and unique then it would have made an even bigger splash. This car just looks like everything else which makes it hard to fully appreciate, even as good as it does look here.

i like it except for that cheap interior.

rattle can silver looks like poop IMO. too many material...brown leather, black leather, that dash, rattle can platic parts, piano black..

and i've been saying this but that clock in the center console just kills it.

It would be dope if the Genesis had a banging Panasonic stereo like the Excels had. Those things were hot cakes for thieves (Friend's had his stolen).

The bling'd out Genesis looks all right...I'll bet that someone is making a Bentley grill for it as we speak. I wonder how many "ballers" will be trading in their 300s/Chargers for this thing.

Looks fantastic , not a fan of Hyundai at all but this car looks stunning IMO. The interior is not so nice though.

The new 5.0L Genesis is going to be insane. Can't wait to see what sort of numbers it puts up.
