+vigilante11485 I've been watching John and the gang for 30 or so years. In fact, I send money to PBS every year JUST so they will continue airing the PBS version of MotorWeek with no commercials and in Hi Def. It's my favorite show of all time! I'm happy that you like him too!

Don't forget Mercedes it was tough for them to sell cars after the war.

By being polite, well spoken and informative.

+ChrisGotsIt Yeah, right. I don't remember them using drone video in the 90's. Motorweek is the BEST car related video magazine in the world. I've been watching them since the 80's. They use cutting edge videography techniques in their programming. Get a life and quit asking stupid questions.

Great Isnt It!!

Very nostalgic

You sound more like a Hyundai commercial guy.

Fussinated funny cause I own 2 Hondas and a Nissan. However, Honda has started go get dull and boring the last 10 years where Hyundai has really cranked up their style and quality.

Fussinated your just mad, one day you could afford this car. Just another kid trolling on the internet.

i didn't understand a freaking thing that you just wrote

An older guy I know could buy anything he wants, I mean anything, and bought one. just saying.

BWX Doesn't mean a thing, really. Maybe the key (and not-so-flattering part) here is "older guy". I know an exec easily making $500k a year as a base salary and he is satisfied driving his 1986 Honda Accord. Just saying.

senorgato70 This guy spends 500k a year on his lunches probably (exaggeration, but he could if he wanted to). He is a "car guy", I would say. Not that old either, maybe early 70's. He really likes it, and it is a really nice car by anyone's standards. In real world, "having own identity" may mean less these days than it used to. I wouldn't really agree with that statement completely though. I think that was true ten yrs. ago, but they are beginning to do their own thing.

BWX Again, doesn't mean much and, frankly, I don't care. Everyone is entitled to their choices and opinions.

senorgato70" They will have marginal conquest sales from Mercedes/Audi/BMW/Lexus." If it were me buying, you'd be right. But The rich people I know don't seem to care that the name "Hyundai" is on their new $75,000 luxury cruiser. (but costing 60k) Just sayin'.

That's what they said about Lamborghini and the ACURA NSX.....do you still have a bottom after all of your laughing?

More tech and safety features

+Hector Diaz they were going to put allot of aluminum into it but pulled out last minute .

You don't know what you're talking about. I have a 2007 Kia Sorento V6 with over 150,000 miles and the engine hasn't given me any problems and feels as strong today as it was when I bought it in 2007.

How about learning before your posting .... Motor Week is American and Alfa Romeo is not yet in the US market.

Fussinated How about learning before your posting that many american reviewer's have done a review of many cars that don't come to the us market -_-

Amine Greenoi I don't need to learn that, because I know that already. However, it is not very common and not as many as you implied. And also it is illogical. The reviewers you mention are part of the group that admires European piece of crap cars and as irrelevant as the cars that they review. So, since now you now Motor Week is an American, it is time to learn to be logical about reviewing what car to American people. P.S. Most of the cars that are reviewed and not sold in the US market are/were usually the cars that are/were extraordinarily successful cars outside the US such as Skyline GT-R, or Alfa Romeo 4C, etc. No one tested Fiat 500 before it entered the US market for that matter. :).

thuglifezeem716 The 2015 Genesis is actually classified as a full-size car, the same category as the 7 series, A8, and S-class cars, but just barely. It is marketed and priced against the midsize offerings. In terms of actual size, it's right in between the 5 and 7 series. For the same price of the fully loaded V8 Genesis, you can get a similarly equipped C300, which is way smaller and has a 240 hp turbo-4 instead of a 420hp V8. Are you starting to see why this car has incredible value?

thuglifezeem716 No its quite big, much larger than the 5 series. I bought an AWD Ultimate version over the 535i X drive. Of course after owning the car for one month I regret it for a number of reasons: the doors are floppy and feel cheap, the matts are already damaged at 1000 miles. Aside from this the vehicle is TERRIBLE on gas even in economy mode. Any savings comes out in gas and gas guzzlers tax (which I wasn't aware of when I purchased the car but found out getting my plates). Aside from this Hyundai service is very low brow. Nothing like what I am used to.

Kevin Dam I disagree with your main point; I just purchased one over month ago. With taxes and gas guzzlers it comes to very close to $60,000. And there is very little discounting on the vehicle unlike I was able to get from BMW for 5 series. Having said that, there are no gas guzzlers fees to be paid for any 5 Series other than 550 and M5. The gas mileage on the BMW is MUCH better. Theres your savings. Let's not even discuss going to Hyundai service with your $57,000+ Genesis Ultimate and getting the same experience as purchasing a sub $20,000 shitcan.

Arthur H Do you live in the US? According to fueleconomy.gov, the 5.0L V8 2015 Genesis is not classified as a gas guzzler. Even with discounting, a similarly-equipped 535i would not even begin to approach making up the $20k premium you are paying for the 535i. Going off combined mpg, a price of $3/gallon and 12000 miles per year, you'd save about $500 a year on the 535i, pretty insignificant when you compare it to the $20k price difference. Oh, and let's not forget that maintaining the Genesis will be IMMENSELY cheaper than maintaining the BMW. Oh, and the Genesis has 120 more hp and is bigger. If "gas savings" and the "service experience" are the only things you can come up with, you put up a very poor argument.

+Kevin Dam 🔥

Wow you have a custom Altima? How did you move the body to look like this luxury Hyundai? Did you use spacers for the larger wheels you needed?

Car and Driver just tested one and they got 5.9 from the V6. Motorweek's time is appallingly slow in comparison to everyone else's. Wonder what's up with that?

JDubbs07 Yes I agree this is slow but maybe its because they had the RWD model?

justin kelly C&D's tester was RWD too, so who knows where Motorweek goofed up. Hyundai's HTRAC would bias the torque (up to 10-90 F-R) rearwards under hard acceleration anyway, so I don't think an AWD model would be any faster.

Even you can write comment ..... so why not?

JDubbs07 Um... tires? Or maybe C&D filled the tank with 93 octane while Motorweek used 87 octane.

This weighs alot more than a 5 series is why

The Genesis Sedan does not really have that much sport. It is more on the safe & luxurious side of things to tell. 311 hp is only quick depending on the car. for this car, it needs it just for how heavy the thing is and all the heavy material strapped on it. If it gets to 0-60 smoothly all while being comfortable, i think it is a win win.

I own a 2018 model with the 3.8. If you put a nice exhaust system, a chip, and an intake, you’ll shave off 2-3 seconds. I’m looking to see if if any Genesis Coupe parts are interchangeable since they share the same engine. But honestly, this isn’t something you make a fully built race car. Minor engine mods, drop, wheels, tint, and other cosmetic mods is all it needs if you want to do more.

theres also a 420hp v8 available im sure is faster

Try a 1st generation with the 5.0 V8 4.8-5.2 0-60 easy. 1st generation is about 400lbs less

yeah, hondas suck

Even you can write a comment ... so why not?

Which Honda... back it up with facts before you make statements and give no support.
