  Mission Accomplished!!! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By imtraveler - July 24 - 6:20 pm

  I was following & really looking forward to this motor car, so I bought it! Owned 7 series & was nice compromise, esp. price. Hyundais first foray with an all-new RWD platform & V8 engine in this class is impressive. My car turns heads and I love its understated execution. Has the luxury amenities I need and $$$ to spare. Wish it was sold in a dedicated channel -- i.e., Genesis brand -- wouldnt mind stripping the H logo and replacing it with domestic market Genesis wings logo (front, back, wheel hub & horn pad)

  THIS IS A HYUNDAI? - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Paul - July 21 - 4:03 pm

  I have had multiple BMWs, a 300E and 3 Acura TLs and a 2006 Acura RL. This car hands down is better in almost every category than anything I have driven. They built a first ever rear wheel drive car that is quiet, has an incredible sound system and everything you would expect in a $60,000 car except that it cost 40. I realize that this is a first year model but as of now,Hyundai hit it out of the park

  Hyundai has hit a 10! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Richard Ojeh - June 14 - 3:36 pm

  I previously was the owner of a 2006 Hyundai Azera which I traded in for the 2009 Hyundai Genesis w/Tech Pkg. Absolutely the best bang for you buck on the market today. This car has lived up to the hype. This car is definitely 7 Series size, 5 Series performance, 3 Series price!

  A Real Sweet Car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Tom from LI - May 3 - 10:30 am

  Got my 3.8 on 5/22 - and just returned from a 1,800 mile trip to S.C. Despite getting into some horrendous traffic jams - the car still delivered over 25 mpg! Ride is quite smooth - but not perfect - especially on rough roads. Beautiful and comfortable interior. Whisper-quiet engine with lots of power. (Cant understand why anyone would want the 8 cly.) I did not order the tech package, but bought a Garmin instead. Unless you need frequent directions - this is the way to go. My bluetooth cannot read my voice commands! Will make an appointment with dealer to fix.

  The Genesis a GS 460 for a 1/2 of the $ - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Pierre Boucher - April 12 - 2:33 am

  This is a beautifully made car that is going to put the Europeans and the Japaneses automakers to shame. A car with this much for so little. Thank you Hyundai you made a luxury car that I can afford.

  Best Hyundai - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By dlflyboy - March 28 - 9:00 am

  Just took delivery on July 15th. Its a nice car. Good looks and ride. Nice features. I average 23mpg mixed driving. The car has a nice exterior design. Inside is kinda boring. Get the Lexicon sound system. Youll love it (I know I do). However, the cd changer had to be replaced (stopped working). The service department is not up to par with other luxury dealers (especially BMW). Loaners are nice when your car is in the shop for a day (the shuttle vans dont cut it). And for the amount of time I own a car (usually 3 yrs) BMW still has the best warranty. Love the standard maintenance warranty (4yr 50k). At the end of the day this is still just a Hyundai. But, overall Im happy with the car.

  best value - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By shiny - March 27 - 5:36 am

  I bought V-6 in October 2008. I drove MB & Lexus in the past. This is absolutely much better car than MB and Lexus if you take the price into consideration. If you are willing to pay $ 20 or 30 K more just for the brand, go ahead but I really recommend this car why you waste hard earned money, especially under a current economic situation. Again, this car is equal to or better than MB or Lexus in all respects except for a hugh price difference. I am telling you that If your are looking for a new car, buy this car, you will nor regret.

  2009 Hyundai Genesis Experience - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Happy Car Owner - January 22 - 1:00 pm

  Im so glad that I bought this car. I planned to buy a Lexus but I decided to buy this car after researching about this car. Im so glad that I made the right decision and I like my Genesis very much. This car performs just like the article in the February 2009 Consumer Report issue decribed.

  Peoples Choice - WOW! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By HyundaiOwner - December 14 - 4:30 am

  This is an amazing car. The leather wrapped dash, AC seats, sound system, adjusting headlights, I could go on and on. I personally have never owned a luxury car but most of my friends do, and they cannot believe the features this car offers for under 40K. It is unbelievable how many Lexus, BMW and MB driver approach us, telling us how beautiful the car is and cannot believe it is a Hyundai. I would recommend this car to anyone, and do. I am looking forward to what comes next with Hyundai.

  Listen to my words - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Dsplash - December 11 - 11:36 am

  Great Car, much greater than my previous Avalon.. Actually, uncomparable..., im sorry. Genesis deserves my loyalty to its brand. Those who read this comment should rethink about the brand image of Hyundai. Just remember, Toyota and Lexus were once thought of as inferior.
