Hi Tiny...

Yeah, nice... my dealer sends out a bulletin by email each month and mentioned how the Genesis was about to be launched in Korea...

Would be good if they put one in Targa Tasmania next year in April (it's quite possible)

Looks too "snobbish" to me  :|
The coupe looks better but i still prefer smaller cars

hyundai is headed in the premium class, but i don't think it will match the bmw,even the lexus i think..but it will be better then volkswagen at least.

i am fascinated by the coupe because it will be the first real proper sports car by hyundai, and probably will be affordable
it will probably be love at first drive,like my i30 :)

Careful Tiny!

My i30 get mistaken for a BMW all the time

The i30 is in a class of its own. Nothing to compare with.

yeah, the boot/trunk/back end looks like the one of a bmw 1 series ... i personally consider my car above a lot of it's competition,trust me i'm in love with it since day one, i could write a novel with all the things i like about it, but i'm off topic.

you can't come up with a car over night and take over the world. hyundai is just taking it's first step being reborn. the i-series (i10 i20 i30 i55) and the genesis will change the way people look at this brand. the i55/veracruz has just been launched here, i think it is beautiful and well put togheter and it will be a tough competitor for the x5 and the q7 but i doubt it will be crowned suv king...

i also own a hyundai santafe (new model) it is beautiful,pleasant materials, nice drive etc but it is not as nice as a vw touareg for example

i55 = veracruz http://www.hyundai-motor.ro/showroom/?id=295 (http://www.hyundai-motor.ro/showroom/?id=295)

if it doesn't open the link where it should click on showroom -> vehicule recreationale and select veracruz from the left :)

although it isn't available yet in romania, the brown interior looks classy http://www.autojurnal.ro/wp-content/upl ... mbnail.jpg (http://www.autojurnal.ro/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/hyundai-veracruz-6.thumbnail.jpg)

sooo what do you think?

it is available with a 3.0 v6 diesel engine 240 HP and 451 NM automatic 6 speed gearbox

0-100kmh 10.4 weight 2300kg

cheapest is 33690 without vat and and the most expensive is 37900 euro without vat (tax)
