No you’re not.

Backstory: YouTube keeps playing this Genesis commercial with a song that ends in “...cause I am the real thing.” The real what? The real copy of a copy?

I actually sorta like the Genesis, but this song just seems like a cry for help on Hyundai’s part.

What is the G80 a copy of?

About a dozen different design features from other cars.

The Calico cat of vehicles.

Absolutely. Every US-market Asian luxury car for the last 30 years spent its initial life as a knockoff. It takes a long time to develop an identity and Genesis isn’t there yet.

Another decade at least.

I think the stinger is sufficiently quirky to have an identity of its own separate to the Germans... but it and the other RWD Hyundais are still derivatives in my perspective... if sometimes outright copies.
