New Hyundai Genesis

If the reviews end up being anything except for all negative, then this thing is going to sell like hotcakes for sure.

It's a nice lookin car!!!
I remember being shocked when i saw the commercial during the game!
If they keep it up I might end up buying a Hyundai one day

The profile of the Genesis coupe would benefit so much if they got rid of that window sag at the rear. And that hood...what's with all those louvres? Besides that, though, the styling should be a huge hit for the intended demographic.

i like how they put the korean model(without hyundai badge since everyone knows them back home) so people would be confused during superbowl...then a Hyundai logo at the end... definitely a good commercial I think.

I've had hyundais. they're not any worse than Honda or Toyota when it comes to built quality or quality of materials used. I've had Hondas that were subpar.

With the Santa Fe's and Sonatas, they have made a good impression on american public. while sale of cars were declining, Hyundai sales have continuously gone up.

LIKE the phaeton though, I don't think people will spend $40k(top model) for a Hyundai JUST yet...

they say its luxurious as a 7 series but cost as a 3 series in the commercial

after reading the thread i went to watch the Ad on this CAR which is suppose to be spacious like a S class and priced like a C class. Lol first of all i understand that Hyundai is trying really hard to get rid of its cheap name, but honestly i think this car is going to end up like the VW phantom. It might be a great car but still to most of the world it is still a Hyundai and at least for the Next 5-10 years Hyundai is going to be related to cheap and economic cars rather than sporty and luxury cars.

As long as it's not built in Detroit........it's all good.

I agree on the sag at the rear. It makes the car look lazy. Apart from that and he hood the styling is quite nice.
