Hyundai Genesis DUB edition

I know the Genesis is starting to be compared to lexus, jaguar and cadillac brands but I still dont know if I can take Hyundai seriously as a premier sport luxury automaker. Check out this dub edition Genesis I found on youtube and tell me what you think.

I had a hyundai rental car this past week, I am seriously impressed

we got ~4' of snow, lake affect from lake Ontario, ~5-6" in 4 hours at one point, I was messing around with the car, abs/traction control worked brilliantly, ESC too, I tried to get the car to slide and do donuts, but the esc braked the outside wheels and would not let me play

disabling it did work, for reverse donuts in the parking lot

Hyundai is a serious contender. They're not just talking, they've been working on quality for years and now they feel like they can start to brag a little.

You're going to see a lot of Hyundai this Sunday.

Yeah, I have seen both of them last year at San Diego DUB show. I liked the interior mods.

I still prefer this one.




I'd take this over plenty of BMW/Lexus/Merc. And if you factor in bang for buck... omg.

I dont know what it is either. I was talking to my dad the other day. He is SUPER IMPRESSED by this car. Word of mouth is quite sick. He's owned about 4 Mercedes, 4BMW's, 1 Lexus, 1 Caddy, etc. and he is loving this car.

It is quite a genius move to offer a cheap package that replaces the H on the car with the Genesis logo.

Hyundai did very well this year with the 5 superbowl spots.

The Genesis Coupe is going to turn heads too.

Nissan guys aren't too happy about this one. On Nismo wheels.



It's been out 6 months in Korea.
