2012 Hyundai Genesis / R-Spec 5.0 First Drive – Review – Car and Driver

What do you guys think about this beast...

 

400+hp is crazy from Hyundai ...

 

Just saw the commercial

I just can't get into this whole Hyundai and Kia thing. I won't buy one

 

It's still a Hyundai.

 

an 8 speed transmission? wow. now just put that motor in the genesis coupe and they have something that might actually sell

 

so?


also, i see someone else is watching the Lions v Saints game... i've seen that commercial twice so far.

 

I don't understand why the lions went deep on 1st down. Lost the game right there. They have a great drive, why go long on first and what 60?

 

Seen the commercial two or three times while watching the warriors game. Not a big fan of the looks but 429+ hp sounds pretty sweet

 

Plus Red tails looks like it will be a good movie.

 

Refs were literally giving the game to the Saints in the first half which lead to some dumb playcalling in the second half by the Lions. That and they seemed to have left their defense back in Detroit. So many picks dropped. Sad game.

 

Look at the COST of these cars, then you realize why they suck.

 

Lol yes. Refs giving 1+ yards for 1st downs to the saints.

 

Drew Brees executed some pretty awesome plays

 

Hyundai is the biggest player out there right now. Toyota used to worry about Honda, Honda used to worry about Toyota. All the stock holder meetings this would always come up. But its all about Hyundai now. They have attacked the 18-25 year old market. I am sure they are the reason for the BRZ/86. And they have also set some high marks in the "Boss" car market with some of the stuff and BMW and MBZ have not done. And they are doing that for less money.
Hyundai is not the car that used to be seen on the side of the road or in the wrecking yards.... They have learned some lessons and have come back really strong in the last 2-3 years. They even got good reviews on Top Gear.

 

13.3 on the 1/4 for a big heavy sedan like that isn't too shabby. I'd like to see that motor in the new-gen Genesis Coupe.
