Disagree however much you want, I think it looks amazing. Even better in person.

Kinja'd!!!

Tried to get a picture of the front in the mirror, but couldn't.

It was a 3.8L and I think AWD. I'd rather have the V8 personally.

It looked like it had an absolutely massive moonroof though.

I agree. I think the proportions look bang on. Not sure I'd buy one if I was in the market for a full size sedan though.

I've seen a couple running around here, they do look really nice in person. Definitely an improvement over the previous model.

This one at least has it's own identity. The last one was kinda a mish-mash of the German 3's designs thrown into one car.

I saw one the other day and almost screamed Bentley but it was just cooler looking in a way i can't explain. That car is something else and i'm not saying this because i own the coupe but because it really is a gorgeous car

Everything about it comes together and just looks... amazing really. I think it looks better than any German mid-sized sedan to be honest. This and the Coupe are two Hyundais I'd really like to own.

Lots of the livery companies around here are replacing their Town Cars with these.

That's an interesting trade.

The Genesis is over 20 years old. Still one of my favorite consoles though.

It would be tough to decide between this and a 5 series for me... Something about the Genesis looks so much more forward thinking. The 5 series looks like a 10 year old car by comparison.

I don't like the new grill, but I love everything else about them

Between this and the 5 series, I think I'd pick this.

Yes, but I think in everday life, the BMW iDrive system would give you more information, and work better.

I agree, they dont look bad. And its a Huge step up from the previous gen. But It seems a little weird to me, I cant quite put my finger on why though. And I have seen 2 in person

We're loving ours!

I really love the these puddle lamps.

Kinja'd!!!

One thing about the car though, my dad (it's his car) and I don't understand why the LEDs in the headlights are parking lights rather than DRLs, especially when that's how everyone else uses them.

It really is a great car though! We drove it to Monterey from Oregon the day after we got it for Pebble Beach, and then down to LA. Never been so comfortable on a road trip!

Those puddle lamps are awesome.

Looks really good in white as well.
