This was the same question many asked of Toyota when they launched Lexus nearly 20 years ago. And we all know how successful that brand has become.

It sure seems like Hyundai has all the right boxes checked off. The Genesis is packed to its chrome gills with the goods you’d expect from other luxury cars with alpha-numeric names like 550i, CTS and GS 460. We’re talking about rear-wheel drive, an optional 375-hp V8 that will hit 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and a stellar HDD navigation system matched with a Lexicon sound system—a stereo brand found in the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Factor in an expected bargain-basement price of under $30,000 and fuel economy numbers meeting or besting most of the others in the class, and the Genesis has some serious hardware for a seriously low price..."

Agree?
Its a Hyndai POS, cheaply built and high tolerance rate construction which will lend itself to low mileage life spans. This has been a hallmark of Hyundai from the beginning, and continues today.
