I think it looks a lot like the Tiburon, only bigger and more melted.
I went out with a buddy of mine and drove them today at PIR. I have to say I was impressed with the pickup, but not with the way the seats and roofline coincide to make it nearly impossible for someone who is over 5'9 to drive comfortably. I do not understand why manufacturers insist on the lack of a telescoping and tilt wheel. It's just not comfortable for taller drivers to get in and out with the wheel so low you have to break your legs to get under.
The fit and finish was good on the cars, and the course they had set up was interesting, but very short. I thought the test riders were a bit short/rude, but I'm sure they get tired of sitting in the car all day. Probably a job hazard they should have considered, but oh well. I think mine might have freaked out a little bit when she realized the skid control was off as I slid the car around the 3rd turn. What can I say?
I may very well drive a sedan, but I won't be in the market for a new vehicle for a while. I was very honest with them about what I thought of the cars, so I hope they take consumers accounts into consideration.

LOL... Thanks for the pic... if u think this horrible wait til u see me drive. Anyways the Genesis is very nice... but I agree that thing was a pain to get in and out. I thought it handle well in V6 form. Plenty of power and a responsive throttle. Braking was... well its Brembo nuff said. Remember this is the 1st gen so its only gonna get better imo it gets 3.5 stars. I docked a half point bc the didnt let me take off the traction control-jerks!!!!!!!!!!
