Now we're defending Hyundai. Never saw that one coming.

No defense necessary. Just stating some facts and an opinion or two

Either way hell even a SRT8 Charger would be a better bet then a 5.0 Genesis. Same price point.

It would be a cold day in hell before I were to drop $50k on a Hyundai. Regardless of the model

What are you looking at?

Hope you plan on keeping it until it dies! That is the only way I'd buy a new car

I'd have to drive both before I could make that decision.

I'm really digging the CLS550 but a 5.5L and I drive 20 city miles to work one way would suck my wallet dry at the advertised 14MPG. Granted the 5.0 Genesis only gets 2MPG better but its much cheaper to buy.

Oh and I also like the looks of the Jaguar XF but its a Jag...it'll be down for repairs more than my racecar.

Ironically, I bet the genesis is still of higher quality. And yes, I've seen both. The srt8 is flashy, but cheap.

Thought they sold off their stake in Jaguar a while ago, doesn't some Indian firm own them now?

If anyone pays that much for a Hyundai you have to be borderline mentally retarded.

I disagree. I have drove both. The Charger was the nicer ride, faster car, nicer seats and interior to me. The Genesis felt just like what it is. A cheap inport they tried to fancy up. I do wonder though what kind of 5.0 is in it. Similar to the coyote, wonder if can mod it, etc etc.

The SRT8 is confused, with the gaudy fake carbon fiber, trying to be a sports car and a luxurious car at the same time. That carbon fiber with the clock in the dash is so tacky.

But they're two different classes. The SRT is sporty, the Genesis is luxurious.

Anyone who thinks a Genesis is luxurious is also borderline retarded.

That's the class is in. And the Equus is super luxury.

PS: I could say the same about the Cadillac.

You aren't exactly the guy to come to for an open-minded opinion
