im lookin at the oct 08 issue of automobile magazine and they are saying that the hyundai genesis base price is $38000 and the one they tested was $42000. i dont know about anybody else but i wouldnt spend $40000 on hyundai ever, i dont care what it looks like or how fast it may be. i own a used car lot and get to see how stuff holds up. i always say anything new is nice, but lets see how nice it is at 100,000 miles or more. my experience is that hyundais are ok cars but the materials used suck they start to fall apart when they get some age on them. anyway thats just my .02.
