2013 Hyundai genesis coupe SUPERCHARGED???

scottIN · 09-30-2011, 07:28 AM

I really like the looks of the Genesis. Inside doesn't thrill me, but it's decent. My hang up is that it's a Hyundai. If Honda bought them out and it became the Honda Genesis Coupe, I'd buy one. Just can't get over that it's a Hyundai.

And maybe this will change in a few years. I'm sure when Honda, Datsun and Toyota first landed in the US that the feelings were the same.

Or maybe I'm just a brand snob.

Based on a friend's experience with his Genesis, Hyundai has a ways to go quality and support-wise. His 2010 model was in the shop for a WEEK waiting for a replacement master cylinder. It's not the first time it's sat in the shop waiting for routine parts. The car now has 16k miles on the odometer.

No loaner car, no free detailing, nothing. I think the problem is they are trying to sell Lexus/Infiniti level cars in the same shop that is pushing out $10k econo boxes.

A lot of people said the same thing about Honda/Nissan back then. They figured out how to make good cars, and things changed. Hyundai is getting close, but it will take time for opinions to catch up.
