Would you buy this Hyundai?
 

Exterior looks nice, but don't know how it drives vs other sports sedan like the MB E-class, 5 series, or lexus GS

Nice, but I'd MUCH rather have the coupe.

:fullofwin:

i wouldn't buy it new.

i would wait and buy it used when it's half of its value (in about 2 years? trolololol)

I'm actually considering it as my next car. So much value in that car...

whaat it looks slightly redesigned

no i will not buy a hyundai




:gun:

I think the Forte, Sonata, Genesis are great cars that will change the perception of kia/hyundai

but i don't think their image is still where it needs to be for them to be charging what they are (up to $50k for a Genesis...)

and I find it hilarious that they're even offering the Equus here... lol a $70k Hyundai?!


but maybe those that think like me are in the minority?

no. personally I dont think i will own a hyundai.

I have recently drove a genesis 3.6 and thought it was dissapointing. The engine was loud and was idling at near 2000rpm? the interior was nice but no match for a lexus or european car.

The fact that they claim they can compete with a BMW 5 or 7-series is a joke.

If the price was lower (50k for a new one, 35k + for a used one), then i think it would be worth it.

^+1

I think bottom line for me and many others is for that kind of money I'd rather have a car that drives nicely and might also be a lot smaller but at least it is satisfying to own/drive

Must say though it's all well and good if you've got no will to live :troll:

Nothing to do with it being a hyundai, you could say the same about the toyota avalon, just very undesirable cars with cheap plastic buttons and typically unusable space.

I'd say that the Hyundai is at least on par with recent Acuras... and much better in terms of driving dynamics than the equivalent Lexii.

Also, I'd take a Genesis over an Avalon any day. The Avalon is just.... *shudder*

Avalon is not a car, its like a van with 6 seats, who drives a car with 3 front passenger seating option. Its like a american passenger car built in the 90s

i think the hyundai badge ruines it all...
i heard that hyundai is bringing up the brand called Genesis.

In their dream, they can compete.



$50g i rather get ES350/GS350 (shelling out an extra $5g-10g is nth to pay for something thats actually worth the price tag + the name). G37 sedan/ M37 sedan (again if you can afford $50g, im sure it is not that hard to fiance/lease a $58g vehicle or whatever) And if i was really looking for a mid/large size sedan i wouldnt mind dropping $60g on a E/5 series

I'd buy it... then again, I'm a "fuck the establishment" type of person...

it's not the make, it's the car. i would've bought my genesis coupe regardless of who made it. hyundai, ford, suzuki, honda, whatever

hyundai is definitely stepping up their games.
i would buy a hyundai now
before.. no

depends on the hyundai, the sonata and genesis yes, but if i had 50g to buy a car, i wouldn't buy that.

after hyundai won car of the year for the 1st time are family been thinking about a looking to get one after the crash (but the car lives) as it was getting better & better (he even test drove one & liked it), i wouldn't mind getting one but with the price just so close to a bimmer or merc or lexus i would totally choose those over all

At the end of the day you still spent 50k on a hyundai.


You simply cannot win an argument with that car. At the end of the day it's still a Hyundai.

IMO, rather go with something euro or jdm. Too me it looks like a compilation of parts from all luxury sedans superglued together. It's got that 'borrowed' look rather than being unique.

Don't single out Hyundai. Many cars today have that "borrowed" look too.

I don't think I'm ready to buy Hyundai's yet, esp for that price. Maybe in a couple years..

Care to provide an example??

Not sure how Lexus came about into the luxury market...but wouldn't it have probably battled the same problems as Hyundai is doing now by trying to enter the same market?

There's no way they're going to price their luxury sedan cheaper than "what it's worth". That is of course pending on the fact that it's worthiness is on par to the cars in the competition and automotive and consumer reviews.
