Hey, rotary: With the cancellation of the Solstice this year, and no plans to have a rear-drive car in the Pontiac line other than the G8 sedan until at least 2010; I don't see how RMR can campaign anything else but the G8. I believe the Genesis coupe was done strictly as a "see-what-can-be-done" example of one-off engineering built especially for SEMA; much the way Chip Foose and Boyd Coddington design cars specifically for the show. Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to find any info whatsoever on what "Mad Skills" will be driving next year; so don't be too surprised if he ends up in the Genesis.

Oops! Typo "...true, correectly written English." The hazards of posting late at night without spell check! How funny I would screw up the word 'correctly'. Karma, anyone?

This is funny-bikerboy has been the catalyst for true, correectly written English on this site. And I thought that there weren't any other English teachers (I own an English school) on streetfire. I'm not alone!!! There are other literate people!!! Just joking. Hyundai makes very good cars, among other things. Hyundai engineering built the Petronas towers, and is currently building the 151 story tower in Dubai. They are the world's experts in high-rise construction. As mentioned previously, LG, Hynix, Samsung, et al, are very reputable companies. Hyundai's Genesis line is what Lexus is to Toyota-a seperate car line that is higher-end. I think they set the USA price point too low though. They sell for about $12,000 more here (Korea-and you can ONLY get the V6), and as a result, carry a higher 'prestige' factor. But in Korea a Lexus 460L is about $180,000 loaded, and don't even ask about Porsche, MB, or Ferraris. I've seen prices as high as $400K on Ferraris, yet I also see a lot of them on the road. It must be nice...

looks kool hopefully rmr dont sue that for drifting tho

So, just to get this straight, is Hyundia trying to go from cheap plastic crappy cars that fall apart to high end luxury sedans? This look pretty nice too, not the ricer version ;)

wow... looks crazy

When the news letter said 'Honda Genesis' I lol'd.

haha. I honestly think that, though hyundai still has things to work on, they have made great leaps in the last hand full of years on improving their product. They really show a desire to move up. I agree, that it seems a few of their ideas are pre-used ones, but as said. there is (and i'll say little to no) originality in car design anymore. (little, because every now and then, someone comes out with some this is just wow!) Anyway. 460hp in a hyundai is impressive i think. whether it'll withstand it for a reasonable amount of time is another question, but i do give them props for their progress.

Comes pre riced.

Redundancy, by definition, implies repetitiveness.; and although I love your use of the word "idiom", I never repeated anything I had to say. If my tone was condescending, again, it was unintentional. I only wanted to illustrate a point. I understand that different people have different opinions, however, if you look at the posts to which I referred directly, you might notice that my only real objective was to provide intelligent counterpoint and to maybe educate someone who simply did not know before. You, too seem to be a learned individual, and I would hope someone like you would find it refreshing that someone like me would post without sugar-coating what I had to say. If this is a forum for auto and cycle enthusiasts to air their thoughts openly, to share their ideas, and possibly educate each other; doesn't it seem appropriate to speak candidly? I have no intention, nor do I see a need to spend my time here justifying myself or my actions. I apologize to you if I offended you. Please let it go with that. For everyone else, hopefully, the sparring contest between myself and the other English professor *joke* has come to a close; and again, I apologize if feelings were hurt.
