I looked at a Genesis at the Int'l Auto Show. Impressive car, BUT, I would NEVER pay over $25K for a Hyundai.

With that said, I am not a Hyundai basher...my wife had a 2002 Elantra when we got married. We still have it...112,000 miles, and still churns out around 30mpg in-town. We have just kept it to serve as a 3rd car to run errands with. The resale / trade in is worse than that of day old bread. Great car though - no major issues of any kind, and it has held up well. These are pics from when I polished it last fall...
