Default Hyundai Genesis 375hp wtf??

I saw the commercial for it tonight and saw that 375hp, and thought... "its time for a cam"

I looked at the car and saw at least 2 other brands incorperated into the car..

ill point them out for you all who didnt get a good look...

Yup, and definitely Lexus LS headlights. I'm gonna be honest though, a 375 bhp Hyundai impresses me.

pretty sure its RWD, still wouldnt own one. people would make fun and say, "buy one of the cars it knocked off and stop being cheap"

all that car is, is for someone who always wanted a benz or bmw and a V8.. now they get one heaping pile of ****

Kind of like how people would buy those Mazda B Series pickups instead of a Ford Ranger.. I know what you mean.

Haha, yes at least know Hyundai is Korean. That actually makes them a little better than Chinese cars.

And surprise surprise, its a RWD. 4.6L V8 FR drivetrain.

I actually don't think it's all that bad (imho). I just got from under a lease of my prior dd (05 745LI) and stepped down to a G35 sedan which I just sold about a week ago and to be honest I might check it out for my new dd.
