Hyundai Genesis

[new666uk]

Just had a mailshot about the new Hyundai Genesis as I looked at the brand when I tendered our fleet last year.

The new Genesie is a bit of a departure from the norm. 3.8lt V6 with 8 speed auto and rear wheel drive. Although I'm a self confessed BMW snob I'm impressed with how the Genesis looks inside and out. All rather Germanic.

I know it'll depreciate as much as, say a French luxury car but what are the thoughts of the collective here?

I've been to the States & they love them over there it handles well drives well(I was in LA so didn't get a chance to really test the handling) & they can look really good.

They've been building this sort of thing for ages, they just don't generally bring them to the UK. Much like Ford and the Mustang I suppose.

Fair enough.

It's a bold and confident step into the executive market and I hope it shakes up a few people along the way.

When I read it had a 3.8lt engine and was RWD I rechecked the email it came on to make sure it wasn't a prank to be honest.

If they're bringing the saloon to the UK, I wonder if they'll bring the coupe too.

Here's a photo of the saloon.

So will you be adding a few to your fleet?
