"I had a chance to drive the final stage Genesis prototype yesterday.
And to the poster who asked how we could know for sure that this coupe is a Hyundai... I can tell you it is a Hyundai vehicle because I saw the coupe with my own eyes while I was there. More on this at the bottom.
Without revealing corporate secrets, I can tell you that the Genesis is simply stunning. I am not able to tell you what kind of options or powertrains it will come with because it is still being finalized (and I value my job), but it certainly won't lack in the power department or luxury features.
The drive... wow. I was smiling ear to ear after the test drive, and I drove a base model test mule. If I didn't know any better, I would have asked if it were a Mercedes Benz S-class or a Lexus LS. I mean, it was just incredible. I could not believe that a car like this would be offered in the 30k-40k range. I thought I was excited about the G8, but I can tell you that when the time comes, I will be at the Hyundai dealership, not Pontiac.
Unfortunately, the front and rear fascia design were still under development and thus heavily camouflaged. I wasn't allowed to take pictures, anyway.
Bottom line is that Hyundai has built a real contender in the luxury rwd market and V8 is definitely being considered for the U.S. market from what I was told. As much as I love my TL, I may be replacing her next year.
I am still in shock and awe of how stunning the Genesis was as I type this. If you guys are getting your hopes up for the Genesis, then I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed.
Now onto the coupe... I was not able to get a close look because it was being driven away and it was very heavily camouflaged. But I could still make out the overall shape of it and it was BEAUTIFUL. I'm talking Aston Martin DB9 greenhouse meets Ferrari 599 Fiorano roof line. You may think that I am exaggerating, but I can tell you that very few cars strike me as beautifully sculpted. But Hyundai got the lines on this (at least the parts I could see) very nicely. Solid and hard, yet soft and flowing lines. We are on a very subjective topic, yes, but it definitely gave me a chubby looking at it.
Oh and we hit 130 in an Azera on a 40-degree bank high speed test track. That was frigging fun. I was on the inside and it felt like I could just reach out the window and touch the pavement. It feels like you are sitting vertical to the ground and the g-forces pulling you toward the outside. Screw road racing, I'm going NASCAR. "
