My heart goes out to the past BMW owners, the Lexus and Infinity owners won't know what they're missing because it was never there in the first place

Most people were dissapointed with how it performed, and the car isn't near what they're asking for it. Even at the dealership, they had tons and tons of them in stock and seemed very desperate to sell one to us. We're lucky we got away alive from that dealership. I'm not going to say it is a horrible car, but IMHO it's not worth what they ask.
How long is the genesis engine going to last? Can it keep up with lifespans of European cars? How long can the body hold up? I go with name brand cars because most have been around long enough to get these things right. And we all know this driving 25 year old cars and older, and they're still running like tanks! I'll admit to Mercedes being a bit expensive and BMW as well, and Hyundai winning, by coming out with this copy cat of a "luxury" sedan, but there is a big difference with quality. I'm sorry but I just don't think Hyundai has mastered that yet, especially if you go to Hyundai, test drive one and then go to Mercedes or BMW. You WILL see the difference i'm talking about. I wouldn't even trade my 85 300D for the Genesis...
I still hardly see any genesis on the road today... I think I've only seen about 7 of them. They'll probably end up just like the amanti, another big Korean flop....
