Hyundai Genesis Spotted In Sunny SoCal

http://jalopnik.com/assets/resources/2008/05/Hyundai-Genesis-Sedan.jpgSoCal Euro's eagle-eyed forum fan-boy by the name of "dub*man (http://www.socaleuro.com/forum/showthread.php?p=339862&posted=1#post339862)" caught some shots of the new 2009 Hyundai Genesis (http://jalopnik.com/344159/detroit-auto-show-hyundai-reveals-genesis-sedan-disrupts-industry) at rest in a local SoCal parking lot. We're assuming it wasn't just stopping for a quick bite at a local Korean BBQ joint. Whatever it was doing there without manny plates affixed to the back end, we're happy he caught some clearer shots of the new four-door with the ever-changin' grille from the boys n' girls at Hyundai. Yes, Hyundai.

Dear god kill that grille.

Glad I'm not the only one that hates that grille.

There's an alternate grille though, they had both on display at the detroit auto show. It looks GOOD with the alternate grille. Think of a "sport" trim level grille and what that would look like, and that's it. Thin chrome perimeter, black mesh inside with hyundai logo in the centre.

a cheap man's luxury

What do you think peoples opinion on Honda/Toyota was 15-20 years ago?

[neox.286]

not much different than my oppinion on those now =P

now acura and lexus (though the same companies) are different stories, they are much nicer cars

but honda and toyota are still crappy cars today
granted, so is mazda, but we do have nice cars as well (speed3/speed6/rx8 come to mind)
