I didn't know Hyundai had patented the speedometer. Of course, what do I know though, I seem to be the only person on the planet who doesn't think Hyundai is a ultra-luxury car maker with nothing but original designs not needing the aid of incentives.Silly me thought Acura TL.I noticed that they also copied Hyundai by adding a steering wheel.— huu76 (View Profile)

Can we please stop with the Toyota/Lexus comparisons? The "luxury" aspects of a Lexus are NOWHERE to be found in a Toyota, not near the same quality leather, not the same quality sound deadening materials, not the same tactile finishes, and Toyota doesn't even use real wood in their vehicles. Letalone the customer service aspect is befitting of a luxury dealer.None of that is available at Hyundai, esp. when a Genesis is parked next to an Excel on the showroom floor.— StarSearch (View Profile)

The interior looks production ready, but what I hate the most about concept cars is that there are so many things that you just wished you had on the actual car - as an option, at least (individually, of course). At least this car is honest in that that only the seats seem to have leather.— WorldofLuxury (View Profile)

What is the price again? Because cars that cost more than $200,000 need to look a whole lot more special than that inside! — Chip (View Profile)

...riiiight, Lexus is really concerned about Hyundai, and yet their luxury offering doesn't even have the name or logo of Hyundai on it. Wonder why? I mean, they consider themselves a competitor in the luxury segment despite less than stellar sales for both the Genesis and Veracruz compared to their target market.— StarSearch (View Profile)

Nah, the LF-Ch will probably be Lexuses answer to Hyundais new Accent or Elantra. It will probably be cheaper than the IS=$22-$25K ballpark.— HyundaiSmoke (View Profile)

ummm, the Camry will single-handidly curb stomp the Hyundai offerings, heck even the Corolla will. You think Lexus even cares about the Elantra? hahahaha!!!!!!— StarSearch (View Profile)

Theyll probably call it the CS or something. Remember, this is supposeed to get young buyers into the brand. They might even go for a value proposition of an $18,000 model with leather seats with cloth inserts or something.— HyundaiSmoke (View Profile)

The Genesis sells fine Star. The Veracruz doesnt, and if I were them Id merge the Veracruz and the KIA Borrego, send it over to Hyundai and call it the Genesis Truck. I bet that would sell better that way.Star stop living in delusion. The Content Hyundai is putting in their cars to be competitive with the likes of Chrysler and Volvo is lower and and more superior to Toyota and in some cases very equal to the Lexus. Toyota wont be able to compete with Hyundai without going upmarket too, and with Subaru and Lexus, I dont think Toyota can afford another upmarket make.Toyota will compete with KIAs Middle of the road stuff, and Scion (well thats if they still exist) will compete with KIAs racy stuff.— HyundaiSmoke (View Profile)

Do you hear yourself blabbering?? Don't call me delusional when you're THE ONLY ONE THAT BELIEVES WHAT YOU SAY!! Hyundai were stupid enough to think that they could sell "luxury" cars with no badges, no separate showroom and the same subpar customer service- FACT. And as far as Toyota not competing? Um, last I checked, they sell more cars in a bad month than Hyundai does in it's best. The Genesis can't even outsell the dated Avalon month-to-month, and despite it's "awards" it is consistently mentioned in literally every review about how the car isn't as polished as the cars it targets...yet they wanna charge almost $40k, which isn't that much cheaper than an ES350.Toyotas now compete with Kias? Yeah, keep telling yourself that genius.— StarSearch (View Profile)

Look at a Corolla's interior and compare it to the Forte. I was only being nice about Toyota. Actually Toyota competes with the outgoing Spectra. This new Corolla is a ripoff, and Agent009 should do an article, let's hope some CEO slips and calls the Corolla is a car for idiots.Just look at it, and compare the specs to a Forte too. The "New" Corolla is a car for idiots. It reminds me of a 5 year old GM product, I hate GM and Id buy a Colbalt over the new Corolla.— HyundaiSmoke (View Profile)
