Hyundai Genesis vs. BMW (and Lexus, MB, Infiniti)

Want a good a laugh?

Whoa....I wanna a Hyundai now! Don't these guys know that a predominate showing of the badge is NOT going to help sales?

Look the people in the commercial? Lemme guess.....this is target market that Hyundai marketeers believe will buy their cars?

Look at all the clowns with the briefcases? Who uses briefcases anymore?? (I apologize in advance to BMW owners who have briefcases, you are different ).

huh???

I saw the coupe at the NYIAS...and quite frankly it was sharp looking from the exterior...and I'm sure the optional powerplant will give it zip....but I still doubt the fit and finish of the cars...and I dont see how a BMW/BENZ/LEXUS owner will shift to Hyundai....am I missing something??

Not to mention that one of the coupe models will also feature the motor of the Evolution Lancer Evo X! There will definitely be a market for this car big time on the otherside of the car realm. Good looking car(Genesis) but was not meant to compete with the luxury car market.

I figured I would get the performance upgrade. No need for a convertible.

Funny video - ooooh, look at all the smart, successful, and responsible people. They shop for cars by looking at the sticker and poking their heads in and out...

Yes, fellow sheep, look at how pleased and impressed we all are with the Hyundai coming our way. You want to be as happy and content as we all are, and you can - just lease this for 176,342 months at 99 per month.

**99/mo only for qualified buyers - regular price 199/mo with no credit check (for home owners)**

Also comes with free $500 gift card to Tony Roma's or Applebee's Restaurants - your choice! Act now...
