Eh di lalong hindi bebenta?

Same engine lower variants kamo. Baka sakali bumaba ang presyo at magkaroon pa ng pag-asa.

Price hike will obviously happen then lesser sales will be seen. Bad.

sa Korea naman, from what i heard, there are buyers who would import Genesis sedans from the States coz mas malaki ang engine ng US version kesa sa KDM version

Yung Lambda 3.3 V6 at 3.8 V6 lang kasi yung engine ng Genesis sa Korea.

Sa States andun yung Tau 4.6 V8 engine.

Hehe, yun discussion nagpalit from recommendation of different car brands (S60, Legacy) to pro-Genesis

Still, the point of this thread is that the TS is trying to stir up a debate when he equated a Lexus with V6 for safety and comfort. I'm not against a Lexus nor the 3-series, but if you're emphasizing comfort, safety, and all the other plus features while disregarding the badge -- Hyundai Genesis really fits the bill no matter how you see it. Not to mention it's critically acclaimed in US auto review sites like MotorTrend or CarandDriver.

GENESIS will be Hyundai's independent luxury brand like Lexus is to Toyota.

This is the initial salvo.

Yeah... looked like they were going to go full-bore with that... (which is why there is no Hyundai logo on the front of the Genesis) then they fell back to marketing them under the Hyundai brand. I would have dropped the Hyundai name altogether and named them Genesis XXX and XXX instead.
