was NEVER a hyundai fan until they released the genesis coupe
they not only look nice, but the numbers they put out are amazing

makes me consider a coupe genesis over any other new car competing at its price

What the hell badge is that? :S

The one thing that puts me off from Hyundai is their badge/logo. Truly despise it. Other than that I'm liking whats going on with them right now. Will be interesting to see where they'll be 5 years from now.

n**** god damm!.....so sexy

That truly is a sexy ride. Resembles Mercedes a lot imo. I think I may consider that to be my next ride aside from the honda's.


Its a transformer badge :)

Ayces ride is really clean, but I'm really diggin' the LED taillights. Something about them just makes me wanna :jizz:

Autoguide review of the Sonata:


http://www.autoguide.com/manufacture...rive-1299.html

Hyundai is smart for copying Mercedes no one can say mercs look like crap due to the high price tag so when your brand doesn't really have an image yet... do the next best thing... steal one.

damn it i was just gonna say sth...


:p

I think it looks pretty nice!

blacked out grille looks best, and those KDM tail lights, WOW.

I'll go out on a limb and say they're one of the best looking tail lights i've seen.

I'd want awd on this... looked up the performance... 6.6 0-60. and realy roomy on the inside too. It's $3k more that 2.4L, 6AT + paddles, 18s, sport suspension STD

also, only hybrid will come with Panorama roof.

Recently I had a chance to drive a Sonata rental back to back with the Camry. The Sonata is better in just about every single way. It even feels more confident at high speed.

If I'm in the market for a mid-sized sedan, it's a no brainer that I'd choose Sonata.

dL

how is the reliability on new hyundai models lately? do you still have to wait 1-2 years, or are they pretty good right out of the box?

mnm =(..i got my limited non-turbo just 3 weeks before it was 0.9% finance this month..SIGH

Bought a 2.0T with Nav this week. Couldn't resist the financing deal right now... 0%, 0 down, 84 months...

Now I can give my aging MR2T some rest and TLC while I beat on the Hyundai... lol

^ PICS!!

Its a sweet ride. Hyundai has truly stepped up their game with this addition to their line-up.

With the Genesis and the 2.0T sonata in the lineup, I'm sure we'll be seeing ALOT more hyundai tuners
