I never knew anyone who owned a genesis......how is it?
I always see u guys from a distance and am like "is that a Bentley
"
then pull up like
Lol, well mine is a 2013 5.0 R-spec with 429hp. It is not as smooth a ride as a normal genesis, but it has the power to easily muscle past many cars causing some shock.
When I first got it, my wife kept telling me people mistook it for a Mercedes until they saw it up close. Even her students joked about being excited when first seeing it, but going awww when they realized it was a Genesis. So your reaction is definitely not out of the ordinary.
The options that came with the car were just as loaded as luxury cars more than twice its price and having less hp than it, so I went with it. I have been happy with it all these years I have it. Though, I would not get another one, because they have drastically increased the price on Genesis sedan's while having less horsepower than I am use to.
I may consider getting a Genesis SUV though, but I am not in a rush for an over 1k a month car payment at the moment. I will wait to see how things turn out interest rates wise and demand wise before I pull the plug on a new vehicle. Until then, dusting people in my relatively old car now, will have to be my pleasure.
