Not sure about the weird 2 piece headlights. Side and back look great. Power specs look fun.
|

I wouldn't say it looks great, but then again what does these days?
At least it's not a M3 look alike. |

The V6 is a pretty good value, which if you buy one I assume “value” is one of your criteria for a luxury car.

Have been Nissan for my whole life. All the vehicles at my house were Nissan.
Last year it was time for my wife and I to change our Rogues. Both were getting close to 200k and we wanted to trade before something happened to them. I got a Nissan Frontier. The only place in town that had what I wanted (low miles, 4x4, Nav) was the Hyundai dealer. Our next stop was to be the Nissan dealer for my wife. While I was in finishing up the papers on the truck, she decided to buy the fully loaded 2021 Sonata on the showroom floor. I was sceptical, but I believe Hyundai has taken us away from Nissan. The Sonata has everything a fully loaded Maxima has, for the price of an Altima. |

250 hp on a big four door cars not a lot.
How much transmissions in it? |

What’s up with all the shit looking massive grilles these days?
BMW ruined their look with those abominations. |
|

We have a G80 that is several years ol$ now. Only regret is not having gotten the V8 while it was available.

Wife is up for a new car in a year and half.
She currently likes the Seltos, but I'm hoping the Genysis can creep into the mix |

Hyundai is to Hyundai Genesis as Hi-Point is to Hi-Point with dolla' bills hydro dip.

Quoted: Quoted: 250 hp on a big four door cars not a lot. How much transmissions in it? 365hp You don’t want to start going too far up that ladder against their competition right now. The CT5-V Blackwing is putting down more than 650 hp. |

Quoted: What’s up with all the shit looking massive grilles these days? BMW ruined their look with those abominations. View Quote Part of it is the government crash standards. The hood must be at a certain height, so that when you plow into a pedestrian, you smack them in the midsection instead of at the knees. And the front clip basically has to be a rounded wall, rather than having a sharp bumper, etc.). That's the main reason all new cars look rather egg-like in the front end..... so rather than having a solid egg, the manufacturers stick on a giant ass grill. |

I watched a couple reviews on the new G70 over the weekend and they're tiny. The backseat is basically unusable.
They do look nice, just not going to work for me. |

Quoted: I think these new drivetrains make a lot of heat, too. View Quote The majority of these huge grills are all blocked off. Some of it is used to hide cameras and other sensors, but the primary reason is that it's just much more efficient to control the path of air than to just allow it to flow freely in and around the radiators, intercoolers, and other various cooler bits. Just like all the other fake vents that manufacturers are slapping on, it's mostly for looks. Now who really likes those looks is a question for everyone but the designers, but it's not like complaining about it has stopped them previously. |

Quoted: It is a Hyundai, just like a Lexus is a Toyota or Infinity is a Nissa, or Caddy is a Chevy/GM. View Quote Not quite in this case. They are the most independent of the three. The stinger for instance the g70s sister both have 8speed autos but are 2 different transmissions. The Tau V8 is their engine now even, they build them for Kias K900. As years go by they will have more brand exclusive stuff. |

Quoted: I like it except for the grille. Every time I see it I think of Eric Cartman smiling. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/489450/iu-1857313.jpg View Quote You could have some fun with a vinyl wrap. |

Quoted: Did two of you have to jump out to push it up hills? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I remember four large Danish men driving to the shooting range in one ... a two-door. That was a tight squeeze. Did two of you have to jump out to push it up hills? Fortunately, there are not a lot of steep hills in Denmark. The acceleration (or lack thereof) was hilarious. Also, there would have been no “jumping out” of it. It was more like “unfolding” |
