Right next to the Z, Volvo and Honda. I love 1st world problems. All of you, hush up, I just renewed my monthly donation to st Judes, think i bought a dog from that McLaughlin chick too.

I personally thank you for that. That place does wonderful things for the kids there. My wife works there as well so you are helping out well being as well

Ahh yea well, $60K worth of cars in the garage, in a house we own, typing this on one of four (maybe more, I give so many computers away) laptops in a house occupied by two, $1900 a year in donations is the LEAST I could do, and is. I give back in other non focused monetary ways, which is so much fun most of the time. So thank you for thanking me, bu dont, I CAN and SHOULD do much more. Everyone on this website probably can and should.

Edit: Not that i think $60K worth of cars is "balling" or anything like that (nor care), no one NEEDS $60K worth of cars. I have everything I need and a lot of what I want, Im very selfish though. Im not rich, Im..not religious but blessed would be the word. When I win the $400 mega millions 70% goes to charity, then setup family, a few friends and retire with a 911 Turbo S.

there's nothing wrong with buying a Gen.coupe or even a prius when you set the bar/standard lower than the lower level basement...

Firebase99 · 12-14-2013, 06:14 PM

Alcheng...LOL, what? have you driven a loaded 3.8, track or Touring? Loaded interior is nice!! I cant think of any car, coupe, that gives ALL that for under $35K. I mean the interior is REALLY nice for that price. Nicer than ANYTHING Ive sseen for that price with 348HP. No, its not a nimble, juiced rocket, but thats what I like. Im not selling my 370, fricking LOVE it, its just so....focused. Bitch is brutal, and so much fun. I figure with the Gen, instead of taking my wifes plushy, oh-so-comfy Volvo S60 or the ten year old Accord LX, I can drive the Gen. Im at work AT 530 in the morning, the Z seems so hardcore at 530. Driving home though...its a blast.

if you think the gen.coupe is such a nice car... why did you choose a Z over it?

no need to reply me.... keep the answer to yourself....

and..... I don't have time to waste thus no need to drive/test the gen.coupe...

I dont know what genisis owners are doing where you guys live but over here in Canada there is not 1 car left that has a hyundai H-logo. They all have replaced the H with the wings logo. I find it absolutely hilarious that these people would spend all that money on a brand they are ashamed to showcase.

gleis25 · 12-15-2013, 03:06 AM

Or it could be the fact that the H doesn't look as good as the wing emblem. You are aware that the wings still represent Hyundai and the Genesis right?

agree with Mr.XxACExX, but I thought the wing logo is OEM too, no?

The genesis wings emblem started over in korea to try and generate more interest. With just a simple badging change they successfully garnered more of the market share. The genesis wings logo is not put on these cars in north america straight from the manufacture, rather you have to either order one from korea or buy an aftermarket one here.

My GC came with the wings badge from the dealer. To be honest I liked the H emblem better but my wife wanted the one with the winged badge. Happy wife happy life lol.

Changing the emblem isn't due to the owners being ashamed of the car lol. They do it because they like it and its a very popular mod. It's about the same thing as putting the GTR start button on our cars. There's really no reason other than its a different color. Same mindset with the winged badge. The badge still says genesis on it.

Your car came from the dealer equipped with the badge because your dealer had it put on before you even set foot in the dealers. If you read my post again i said clearly from the manufacture not dealer. I honestly like the genesis as a car and if hyundai ever manages to fully capture consumer confidence, like they initially had many years ago as a brand, i will buy one then. Until this happens i refuse to be raped on the plummeting depreciation figures.

Which is the reason I said from the dealer and not manufacturer. I read your post clearly the first time. I'm saying that some people didn't put the emblems on themselves like you insinuate.
